Resume prior work by rebuilding context from the Basic Memory graph via memory:// URLs, recent activity, and search. Use at session start or on 'continue with...', 'back to...', 'where were we?'.

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 Continue

Resume previous work by reconstructing context from the Basic Memory knowledge graph, so the assistant can pick up across sessions instead of starting cold.

## 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

- Starting a new session and you need to pick up where you left off
- The user references earlier work: "continue with...", "back to...", "where were we on...?"
- You need context about an ongoing project or spec
- The user asks about something discussed in a previous conversation
- You're working on a task that spans multiple sessions

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add basicmachines-co/basic-memory/memory-continue@sha256:f369125c7d068cf2

The 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.
