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.
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
# Memory Agents A Basic Memory Cloud agent is a note. Its frontmatter says `type: agent`, and its body is the instructions. Running it on another note (the target) starts a short-lived agent in Cloud that reads the target, works through the Basic Memory tools, and changes notes as its instructions say. Agents run in Basic Memory Cloud only, on plans that include them. A local Basic Memory has no agent tools. Confirm the connected server exposes `bm_agent` before starting this workflow. ## Project scope If the project is unknown, discover it with `bm_project(command="list")`. Pass a nonempty `project` on every note, folder, context and schema call, even with one project or a qualified `memory://` URL. Use the chosen project's name, `workspace/project`, or external ID; `<project>` below is a placeholder for it. Recent activity also requires `project`. Search accepts `project` for one project, `projects` for selected projects, or `all_projects=True` explicitly. Discovery and bundled manuals need no project. Keep the same scope when following returned paths, paginating, or recovering from a refusal. ## When to Use …

How to install
mdr add basicmachines-co/basic-memory/memory-agents@sha256:b3a61d209374fd4fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.bde8034, 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.
