Core Features

1. Enhanced Crew Base

• Automatic API capability through @CognitionCoreCrewBase decorator
• Integrated tool service management
• Memory system initialization
• Configuration management
• Portkey LLM integration

2. Memory Systems

• Short-term Memory: ChromaDB-based implementation
• Long-term Memory: PostgreSQL-based storage
• Entity Memory: Relationship tracking with ChromaDB
• Configurable storage backends
• Embedder configuration support

3. Tool Integration

• Dynamic tool loading from HTTP endpoints
• Tool service with caching
• Async tool operations
• Tool refresh capability
• Structured tool definitions with Pydantic

4. API Integration

• Built-in FastAPI implementation
• Async task processing
• Health check endpoints
• Task status tracking
• Background task execution

5. Configuration Management

• Hot-reloading YAML configuration
• Environment variable integration
• Configurable paths
• Fallback to CrewAI defaults

Environment Variables

Required:

• PORTKEY_API_KEY: API key for Portkey LLM routing
• PORTKEY_VIRTUAL_KEY: Virtual key for Portkey

Optional:

• COGNITION_CONFIG_DIR: Configuration directory path
• CONFIG_RELOAD_TIMEOUT: Config reload timeout (default: 0.1)
• LONG_TERM_DB_PASSWORD: PostgreSQL database password
• CHROMA_PASSWORD: ChromaDB password
• APP_LOG_LEVEL: Logging level (default: INFO)

Usage Example

from cognition_core import CognitionCoreCrewBase
from crewai import Agent, Task

@CognitionCoreCrewBase
class YourCrew:
    @agent
    def researcher(self) -> Agent:
        return self.get_cognition_agent(
            config=self.agents_config["researcher"],
            llm=self.init_portkey_llm(
                model="gpt-4",
                portkey_config=self.portkey_config
            )
        )

    @task
    def research_task(self) -> Task:
        return CognitionTask(
            config=self.tasks_config["research"],
            tools=["calculator", "search"]
        )

    @crew
    def crew(self) -> Crew:
        return CognitionCrew(
            agents=self.agents,
            tasks=self.tasks,
            process=Process.sequential,
            memory=True,
            tool_service=self.tool_service
        )
