description	Promote a note from your personal Basic Memory project to a shared team project, with attribution. Use when the user says "share this with the team", "publish this decision", or runs /basic-memory:share. This is the deliberate way to write to a team workspace — auto-capture never does.

Share to a team project

Copy a note from the personal/primary project into a configured team project so teammates can see it. This is the only path by which the plugin writes to a shared project — session checkpoints and /basic-memory:remember always stay personal.

Steps

1. Resolve config. Read .claude/settings.json (+ .local) basicMemory:

   • teamProjects — a map of <project-ref> → { "promoteFolder": "shared" }. These are the allowed share targets. <project-ref> is a workspace-qualified name (e.g. my-team-2/notes) or an external_id UUID.
   • primaryProject — the source project notes are read from.

   If teamProjects is empty, tell the user there's no share target configured and suggest adding one (or running /basic-memory:setup), then stop. Don't invent a target.

2. Find the source note. From $ARGUMENTS (a title, permalink, or memory:// URL), read_note it from primaryProject. If $ARGUMENTS is empty (you were invoked from "share this"), use the note most clearly referenced in the conversation — confirm which one if there's any ambiguity. Capture its title, full content (including frontmatter), and source permalink.

3. Pick the target. If teamProjects has one entry, use it. If several, ask which team project to share to. Use that entry's promoteFolder (default shared).

4. Confirm before writing. This write is visible to teammates, so show the user what you're about to do — "Share '' to <target>/<promoteFolder>?" — and wait for a yes. Never share silently.

5. Write the shared copy with write_note:

   • Route to the target: if the team ref is an external_id UUID, pass it as project_id; otherwise pass the workspace-qualified name as project. (A bare UUID in project won't route — Basic Memory takes UUIDs only via project_id.)
   • directory = the promoteFolder
   • title = the source title
   • content = the source's content, with attribution added: keep its frontmatter (so a shared decision stays type: decision and is findable in the team's structured recall), add a shared_from: <source permalink> frontmatter field, and add an observation - [context] Shared from <source permalink>. Don't overwrite an existing note at the target unless the user says so.

6. Confirm in one line: what was shared and the new team permalink, e.g. Shared → my-team-2/shared/<slug>.

Notes

• Sharing copies the note; the original stays in your project. Edits to one don't propagate to the other.
• Don't share notes containing secrets, credentials, or anything the user wouldn't want teammates to see — if in doubt, ask.
• Use whichever Basic Memory MCP server is connected; route to the team project by the project (qualified name) or project_id (UUID) argument.
