What it does

Bm Share is an agent skill from basicmachines-co/basic-memory. Promote a note from your personal Basic Memory project to a shared team project, with attribution. Use when the user says "share this with the team", "publish this decision", or runs /basic-memory:bm-share. This is the deliberate way to write to a team workspace — auto-capture never does.

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: AI conversations that actually remember. Never re-explain your project to your AI again. Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/tyvKNccgqN. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says share this with the team
  • Publish this decision
  • Runs /basic-memory:bm-share

Example prompts

  • “share this with the team”
  • “publish this decision”
  • “/bm-share”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve config. Read the basicMemory block with the hooks' precedence.
  2. Find the source note. From $ARGUMENTS (a title, permalink, or memory://
  3. Pick the target. If teamProjects has one entry, use it. If several, ask
  4. Confirm before writing. This write is visible to teammates, so show the user
  5. Write the shared copy with write_note
  6. Confirm in one line: what was shared and the new team permalink, e.g.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6982cfc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Bm Share loads about 911 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 450 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~911

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Share to a team project

Copy a note from the personal/primary project into a configured team project so teammates can see it. This is the only path by which the plugin writes to a shared project — session checkpoints and /basic-memory:bm-remember always stay personal.

Steps

  1. Resolve config. Read the basicMemory block with the hooks' precedence. For the user-level base, append settings.json to the literal value of CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR when that environment variable is present; do not trim it, expand ~, or treat an empty value as unset. Use ~/.claude/settings.json only when the variable is absent. Then the project's .claude/settings.json and .claude/settings.local.json override per key:

    • teamProjects — a map of <project-ref> → { "promoteFolder": "shared" }. These are the allowed share targets. <project-ref> is a workspace-qualified name (e.g. my-team-2/notes) or an external_id UUID.
    • primaryProject — the source project notes are read from.

    If teamProjects is empty, tell the user there's no share target configured and suggest adding one (or running /basic-memory:bm-setup), then stop. Don't invent a target.

  2. Find the source note. From $ARGUMENTS (a title, permalink, or memory:// URL), read_note it from primaryProject. If $ARGUMENTS is empty (you were invoked from "share this"), use the note most clearly referenced in the conversation — confirm which one if there's any ambiguity. Capture its title, full content (including frontmatter), and source permalink.

  3. Pick the target. If teamProjects has one entry, use it. If several, ask which team project to share to. Use that entry's promoteFolder (default shared).

  4. Confirm before writing. This write is visible to teammates, so show the user what you're about to do — "Share '<title>' to <target>/<promoteFolder>?" — and wait for a yes. Never share silently.

  5. Write the shared copy with write_note:

    • Route to the target: if the team ref is an external_id UUID, pass it as project_id; otherwise pass the workspace-qualified name as project. (A bare UUID in project won't route — Basic Memory takes UUIDs only via project_id.)
    • directory = the promoteFolder
    • title = the source title
    • content = the source's content, with attribution added: keep its frontmatter (so a shared decision stays type: decision and is findable in the team's structured recall), add a shared_from: <source permalink> frontmatter field, and add an observation - [context] Shared from <source permalink>. Don't overwrite an existing note at the target unless the user says so.
  6. Confirm in one line: what was shared and the new team permalink, e.g. Shared → my-team-2/shared/<slug>.

Notes

  • Sharing copies the note; the original stays in your project. Edits to one don't propagate to the other.
  • Don't share notes containing secrets, credentials, or anything the user wouldn't want teammates to see — if in doubt, ask.
  • Use whichever Basic Memory MCP server is connected; route to the team project by the project (qualified name) or project_id (UUID) argument.
