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
# AGENTS.md - Basic Memory Project Guide ## Project Overview Basic Memory is a local-first knowledge management system built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It enables bidirectional communication between LLMs (like Claude) and markdown files, creating a personal knowledge graph that can be traversed using links between documents. ## CODEBASE DEVELOPMENT ### Project information See the [README.md](README.md) file for a project overview. ### Build and Test Commands - Install: `just install` or `pip install -e ".[dev]"` - Run all tests (SQLite + Postgres): `just test` - Run all tests against SQLite: `just test-sqlite` - Run all tests against Postgres: `just test-postgres` (uses testcontainers) - Run unit tests (SQLite): `just test-unit-sqlite` - Run unit tests (Postgres): `just test-unit-postgres` - Run integration tests (SQLite): `just test-int-sqlite` - Run integration tests (Postgres): `just test-int-postgres` - Run impacted tests: `just fast-test` or `just testmon` (pytest-testmon; only tests affected by changed code) - Run MCP smoke test: `just test-smoke` - Fast static check: `just fast-check` (fix, format, typecheck) …

How to install
mdr add basicmachines-co/basic-memory/AGENTS.md@sha256:2015a93b89f93557The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.4f7aa87, 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.
