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 Tau: continuity design

Issue: https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory/issues/1487
Integration: https://github.com/basicmachines-co/basic-memory/pull/1489
Required host work: https://github.com/huggingface/tau/pull/687

## Product contract

A fresh or compacted session recovers the objective, decisions, unfinished work,
verified findings, and next action through the shared Basic Memory graph. Full
MCP tool access supports that loop; it is not a substitute for it.

## Shared Basic Memory contract

`knowledge.py` models general/coding profiles at the configuration boundary and
collects Git/PR metadata into a small frozen value. The lifecycle selects an
explicit user-approved checkout profile; it does not discover write authority
from repository files. The general profile remains backward compatible with
existing `project` and capture controls. Coding profiles carry their own explicit
write project and read-only sources. Global lifecycle flags still govern both.

General snapshots use `session`; coding snapshots use `coding_session` with
required queryable Git identity. Canonical schemas live in

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add basicmachines-co/basic-memory/integrations/tau/DESIGN.md@sha256:13bbe37c5135fb0a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260907.b7b8f39, 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.
