Skills, commands, and hooks for Basic Memory MCP server integration.

Skills:

• knowledge-capture - Capture important information from conversations
• continue-conversation - Continue previous conversations with context
• spec-driven-development - Follow specification-driven development workflow
• knowledge-organize - Maintain and organize the knowledge graph
• research - Research topics using web search and save to memory
• edit-note - Edit existing notes in the knowledge base
• validate-memo - Validate memo formatting before saving

Commands:

• /remember - Capture knowledge from the current conversation
• /continue - Continue a previous conversation topic
• /context - Build context from memory URLs
• /recent - View recent activity in memory
• /organize - Maintain knowledge graph structure
• /research - Research a topic and save findings

Hooks:

• Pre-write validation (with basic-memory-hooks)
• Post-write confirmation
• End-of-conversation /remember suggestion

Optional: Memo Validation

For consistent, machine-readable memos, add basic-memory-hooks:

# Clone and install
gh repo clone basicmachines-co/basic-memory-hooks
cd basic-memory-hooks
uv sync

# Start validation server
uv run python -m basic_memory_hooks

# Verify
curl http://localhost:8000/health

The plugin will automatically validate memos when the hooks server is running.

Requirements

• Basic Memory MCP server must be configured
• Claude Code CLI
• (Optional) basic-memory-hooks for validation

Documentation

See PLUGIN.md for full documentation.

Optional: Validation with Basic Memory Hooks

For enhanced memo quality, install basic-memory-hooks:

pip install basic-memory-hooks
python -m basic_memory_hooks  # Start validation server

When the hooks server is running, the plugin will:

• Validate memos before saving
• Auto-fix common formatting issues
• Report any quality warnings

The plugin gracefully degrades if the hooks server isn't running—memos save normally without validation.
