Welcome to Cognetivy

Cognetivy is an open-source state layer for AI coding assistants. If you use Cursor, Claude Code, OpenClaw, or any MCP-compatible agent, you've probably run into the same problem: great output, but no repeatable process and no way to inspect what actually happened.

We built Cognetivy to fix that. It gives your agent three things:

1. Workflows - Explicit, versioned steps (a DAG) that live in your project. No more freeform prompts; your agent follows a defined process every time.
2. Run tracking - Every run is logged: status, duration, events. You can see exactly what your agent did and when.
3. Collections - Schema-backed data that persists across runs. Requirements, sources, summaries - whatever your workflow produces - stays in .cognetivy/ and is inspectable in Studio.

Everything runs locally. No LLMs in the loop for the engine itself. No cloud. You own the data and the process.

If you're looking for an AI workflow tool for developers or a way to structure agent runs so they're repeatable and auditable, Cognetivy is for you. Install with npx cognetivy, add the skill to your agent, and start your first workflow. We're excited to see what you build.
