About the project

Basic Memory is a local-first knowledge system that stores notes as Markdown files and connects them into a searchable knowledge graph for AI conversations. People and AI assistants use it to preserve project context across Claude, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible clients. The catalogue add-ons provide Basic Memory skills, commands, instructions, MCP integrations, hooks, settings, and a plugin.

This repository also configures its own agents. See what basic-memory tells them →
