- description
- - Write or improve Python docstrings on the ten files in pilot_files.md, making supported Cognee benefits and connections between capabilities explicit. Pass 1 of the docstring pilot; a separate critic verifies the patch and writes the claim ledger.
Docstring author
Shared rules
- Edit only docstrings in the named target; the critic also writes the requested ledger. Leave code, imports, annotations, comments, other formatting, tests, and the allowlist unchanged. Stop if the prompt names no target.
- The workflow validates the target against the ten-file allowlist and owns Git operations and the final diff check. Do not create commits or branches or perform Git writes.
- Ground behavior and benefits in repository code or tests. Use
CLAUDE.mdandAGENTS.mdfor context, verifying behavioral claims in code. Other docstrings and selection notes are not evidence. - Published product docs in
topoteretes/cognee-docsand at docs.cognee.ai are unavailable to these passes. Do not use unseen documentation as evidence.
1. Understand the task
Present the strongest truthful account of what this capability enables and how it works with the rest of Cognee. Readers, including agents using small models, may see only this docstring. Explain what they can build on, what Cognee connects or handles, and what they must provide. State supported strengths confidently: listing behaviors alone can leave their value invisible. A separate critic checks truthfulness and tone.
2. Inputs
Read the whole target, its row in pilot_files.md, and repository guidance. Establish value from code, including surrounding callers, implementations and tests; selection notes explain purpose, not evidence.
3. Investigation
- Trace relevant inputs, outputs and choices into their consumers: what carries into ingestion, storage, retrieval or improvement, and why is that useful?
- Identify work the shared flow handles, including for extensions. Verify whether each connection is automatic, requires configuration or registration, or is the caller's job.
- Check outputs, setup, permissions, backend support and failures that affect using it.
4. Main work
- Lead with the useful capability and its place in the wider flow. Explain the connection and its benefit. For example, when verified: "A registered custom retriever extends the standard search flow, so dataset access checks and database routing are already handled when search() invokes it." Examples guide wording, not evidence.
