Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Basic Memory for Claude Code — Design **Status:** Draft (v0.4 modernization) **Supersedes:** the current `PLUGIN.md` feature-list framing **Related:** - [SPEC-58: Consolidate Agent Integrations](../../../basic-memory-llc/specs/active/spec-58-consolidate-agent-integrations-into-basic-memory.md) (parent) - [Plan — Basic Memory on Rails](../../../basic-memory-llc/planning/plan-basic-memory-on-rails.md) (parent) - `integrations/hermes/` and `integrations/openclaw/` (sibling integrations — same pattern, different agent host) --- ## 1. Positioning — what this plugin actually is Claude Code now has a working-memory layer of its own: auto-memory at `~/.claude/projects/<path>/memory/MEMORY.md`, plus per-subagent memory at `.claude/agent-memory/`. Claude writes to it itself, loads the first 200 lines / 25 KB at session start, and splits topic files off when MEMORY.md grows too long. **This plugin is not a memory layer. It is the bridge between Claude's working memory and Basic Memory's durable, semantic, portable graph.** …

How to install
mdr add basicmachines-co/basic-memory/plugins/claude-code/DESIGN.md@sha256:e18cb3436cd2f2b2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260720.f48ff25, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
