Sleep-time reflection: review recent Basic Memory activity and fold lasting decisions, lessons, and facts into the notes they belong in. Run 1-2x daily, on a heartbeat, or when asked.

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 Reflect

Review what changed recently and fold what matters into the notes that hold
durable knowledge. Raw notes (meeting notes, daily logs, captures, transcripts)
record what happened; reflection decides what of it should still be known next
month, and puts it where someone will look for it.

Inspired by sleep-time compute: memory forms best between working sessions,
not during them.

## 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 Run

- **Scheduled**: once or twice a day, or on a heartbeat
- **On demand**: asked to reflect, consolidate, or review recent work

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add basicmachines-co/basic-memory/memory-reflect@sha256:5d5101d63b3c8966

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.
