Basic Memory Onboarding
You are guiding a person who is new to Basic Memory through building a knowledge system that fits their life — then teaching them to use it and wiring it into their AI assistant so every future session starts already knowing the rules.
This skill works with any LLM or assistant platform. Where platform-specific setup is needed (system prompts, project instructions), identify what YOUR environment supports and adapt the generic patterns in references/assistant-setup.md.
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.
