cognee-switch-datasets

name	cognee-switch-datasets
description	Use when the user wants to switch this Codex session to another Cognee dataset, see which datasets are available, or move memory capture to a different dataset. Syncs the current session first, then starts a fresh Cognee session bound to the chosen dataset.

Switch Datasets

Move this Codex session to a different Cognee dataset. A Cognee session never spans two datasets, so the switch retires the current session (after syncing it into the graph) and starts a new one on the chosen dataset. All later saves and recalls target the new dataset; the in-context status line shows it.

Rules

• Never guess a dataset name: list first unless the user named one.
• Only offer datasets the listing returns — read-only ones are already filtered out.
• Do not pass --force unless the user explicitly accepts that unsynced entries of the current session are retried at session end instead.

Instructions

1. If the user named a dataset, switch directly

python3 "${CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/switch-dataset.py" "<name>" --json

2. Otherwise, list and let the user choose

python3 "${CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/switch-dataset.py" --list --json

The JSON has current, datasets ([{name, id, writable, current}]), hidden_readonly (datasets you can read but not write — never offered) and filtered (true when write access was verified for every row).

Codex has no interactive picker outside plan mode, so present a numbered list of the dataset names (mark the current one) and ask the user to reply with a number or a name. If is , say that write access could not be verified. When the user answers, run the switch with the chosen name:
