Create, run, and check Basic Memory Cloud agents: notes with type agent whose text is instructions. Use when asked to automate work on notes, run an agent, or see how a run went.
Capture a working thread's current state into one coherent Basic Memory note; on re-capture, rewrite it in place. Use mid- or end-of-thread when decisions, insights, or context are worth keeping.
Write Basic Memory notes that render as charts, tables, boards, and live views with `::bm-*` Comark components. Use when a note reads better as a figure or board, or already has `::bm-*` directives.
Resume prior work by rebuilding context from the Basic Memory graph via memory:// URLs, recent activity, and search. Use at session start or on 'continue with...', 'back to...', 'where were we?'
Curate the Basic Memory graph: link orphan notes, propose typed relations, merge duplicates, audit tags and folders, build hub notes. Use to organize and connect a knowledge base as notes accumulate.
Defragment a Basic Memory project: split bloated notes, consolidate scattered facts, resolve contradictions, retire stale content. Plans first; deletes only when told. Run weekly or on demand.
Turn meeting transcripts, conversation logs, or pasted documents into structured Basic Memory notes: match existing entities, propose new ones with approval, and capture action items.
Manage note status transitions in Basic Memory: archive completed work, move notes between status folders, update frontmatter. Use when marking items complete or archiving entities.
Analyze a complete literary work into a structured Basic Memory knowledge graph: schema design, entity seeding, chapter-by-chapter processing, cross-referencing, and validation.
Search Basic Memory notes by custom frontmatter fields with equality, range, array, and nested filters. Use when finding notes by status, priority, confidence, or any YAML field, not free text.
How to write well-structured Basic Memory notes: frontmatter, categorized observations, wiki-link relations, and knowledge-graph best practices. Use when creating or improving notes.
Make a Basic Memory project ready for OKF v0.2 export by finding and fixing what blocks it. Use when preparing a project for OKF export, publishing, or handoff, or checking an OKF bundle.
Help a new user design a Basic Memory knowledge system and set up their assistant to load it. Use when someone is getting started, has an empty or messy project, or wants context kept across sessions.
Finish Memory Quest Mission 8: confirm this assistant reaches Basic Memory Cloud and starts from Basic Memory, then, with approval, save a Memory Master note with the user's verification code.
Sleep-time reflection: review recent Basic Memory activity and fold lasting decisions, lessons, and facts into the notes they belong in. Run 1-2x daily, on a heartbeat, or when asked.
Research an external subject on the web and synthesize it into a structured Basic Memory note. Use when asked to research a company, person, technology, or topic, or given a bare name or URL.
Manage Basic Memory schemas: find unschemaed notes, infer and edit schemas, validate notes, detect drift. Use when structured note types (Task, Person, Meeting) need consistency across the graph.
Task management via Basic Memory schemas: create, track, and resume structured tasks that survive context compaction. Uses BM's schema system for uniform notes queryable through the knowledge graph.
Set up the Basic Memory plugin for this project — a short guided interview that configures the project mapping, seeds note schemas, learns or suggests placement conventions, and enables capture reflexes. Use when the user runs /basic-memory:bm-setup, says…
Use the Basic Memory knowledge graph for persistent memory across sessions. Search before answering; capture decisions, meetings, and insights as notes.
Guide Basic Memory setup in Tau. Use when a user wants to install or configure the Tau memory extension, choose a memory destination or capture policy, verify connectivity, or troubleshoot setup. Check compatibility and obtain approval before installation,…
Save a deliberate work checkpoint to Basic Memory with the story, changed files, verification, decisions, blockers, and the next action. Use when the user asks to checkpoint, wrap up, hand off, or remember the state of the work.
Capture a durable engineering decision in Basic Memory with rationale, alternatives, consequences, and affected work. Use when the user makes or asks to record a real choice — "let's go with X", "record this decision", or runs /basic-memory:bm-decide.
Orient Claude from Basic Memory before substantial repo work by reading active tasks, open decisions, recent checkpoints, and repo conventions. Use when resuming old work or when the user asks where things stand.
Quickly capture a thought, fact, or reminder into Basic Memory as a lightweight note. Use when the user says "remember that…", "note this", "save this to memory", or runs /basic-memory:bm-remember. For quick deliberate capture — not full decision or session…
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:bm-share. This is the deliberate way to write to a team…
Show the Basic Memory plugin's current state for this project — active project, capture folders, output style, recent session checkpoints, and whether Basic Memory is reachable.
Check local Basic Memory projects with bm doctor, explain the findings, and run the suggested fixes once the user agrees. Use when search misses or repeats notes, or a save looks lost.
Internal CI skill: synthesize GitHub delivery context into a Basic Memory project update. Use after `bm ci collect`; return only AgentSynthesis JSON for `bm ci publish`.
Set up Basic Memory for a Pi workspace. Use when Basic Memory is not configured, /bm-status shows no project, recall returns setup guidance, or the user asks to enable durable memory, choose CLI vs MCP, or configure automatic continuity.
Use Basic Memory from Pi for durable continuity. Capture checkpoints with bm_capture, recall prior Pi checkpoints with bm_recall, and consult bundled Basic Memory skill references for note/task structure without assuming direct Basic Memory MCP tool names are…
View and edit cmux settings in ~/.config/cmux/cmux.json. Use when the user wants to change cmux preferences (appearance, sidebar, notifications, automation, browser, shortcuts), set a value by JSON path, validate the file, open it in an editor, or look up…
End-user control of cmux topology and routing (windows, workspaces, panes/surfaces, focus, moves, reorder, identify, trigger flash). Use when automation needs deterministic placement and navigation in a multi-pane cmux layout.
Work inside the current cmux workspace and terminal. Use for cmux workspace, current workspace, caller surface, panes, surfaces, socket targeting, and non-interfering cmux automation.
Write, refactor, and review Python for clarity, explicit behavior, local reasoning, strong types, constructive domain modeling, and minimal abstraction. Use when creating or changing nontrivial Python, simplifying object-heavy, helper-heavy, or overly…
