Quickly save a small fact, reminder, or user preference into Basic Memory from Codex without turning it into a full decision or checkpoint.
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
# Remember Use this for lightweight capture: "remember that", "save this", "note this", or a small fact that should survive the current thread. ## Steps 1. Read `~/.codex/basic-memory.json`, then the nearest project `.codex/basic-memory.json`; project keys override user keys: - `primaryProject`, default omitted - `rememberFolder`, default `codex/remember` Apply the `bm-writing` skill before drafting the note. Match its depth to this lightweight capture; do not pad a small fact into an essay. 2. Identify the exact text to save. If the user supplied text, preserve their wording. If the user said "remember that" and the referent is unclear, ask one short question. 3. Write with `bm_write`: - `title`: first line trimmed to 80 characters, or a short descriptive title - `directory`: `rememberFolder` - `content`: the text to remember - `tags`: `["codex", "manual-capture"]` - route to `primaryProject` if configured 4. Confirm in one line with the permalink. Do not use this for decisions with alternatives or for work handoffs. Use `bm-decide` or `bm-checkpoint` for those.

How to install
mdr add basicmachines-co/basic-memory/bm-remember@sha256:ed094149645fcd76The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261024.3d433fd, 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.
