What it does
Guide Basic Memory setup in Tau. Use when a user wants to install or configure the Tau memory extension, choose a memory destination or capture policy, verify connectivity, or troubleshoot setup. Check compatibility and obtain approval before installation, configuration changes, or test writes.
Set up Basic Memory in Tau
Help the user choose where memory goes and what gets saved. Ask one decision at a time. Set up Basic Memory's shared workflow: schema-backed checkpoints, tasks, decisions, categorized observations, and verified relations that other agents can find. Tau provides the lifecycle callbacks; it does not define a separate memory system. Do not create projects, reorganize notes, change credentials, or install packages as incidental setup work.
Tau preserves the server's bm_* tool names, including bm_read, bm_write,
bm_search, and bm_project. Other advertised tools receive a bm_ prefix.
Use the names and argument schemas advertised by the active Tau runtime.
