Set up Basic Memory for Codex at user or project level by mapping a Basic Memory project and seeding schemas.
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 Codex Setup Set up the current repo so Codex can orient from Basic Memory and checkpoint work back into it. Keep the interview short, but always ask before choosing where data will be written. ## Preconditions Confirm Basic Memory is reachable before changing files: 1. Prefer MCP: call `bm_project(command="list")`. 2. If MCP tools are not available, run `basic-memory --version` or `bm --version`. 3. If neither works, stop and tell the user to install Basic Memory and connect the MCP server. The plugin bundles an `.mcp.json` that starts `uvx --prerelease=allow basic-memory mcp`. 4. List available projects before the interview. Include cloud/local source, workspace, qualified name, and project id when available. ## Interview Ask the user to choose the project mapping. Do not infer write targets from the repo, default project, current directory, or previous local state. - config level: user-level `~/.codex/basic-memory.json` or project-level `.codex/basic-memory.json`. Ask explicitly and recommend user level by default. Project settings override user settings key by key. …

How to install
mdr add basicmachines-co/basic-memory/bm-setup@sha256:72f30d9145020b74The 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.
