Remember

Capture $ARGUMENTS into Basic Memory as a quick note, keeping the user's words.

When no project is pinned, discover projects with bm_project(command="list") and pass the selected project's external ID as project on note/search calls. With several addressable projects, these calls require an explicit scope even when a default is configured.

Steps

1. Resolve config. Read the basicMemory block with the same precedence the hooks use. 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 it per key. A user-level block alone is enough; a project can still pin its own values:

   • rememberFolder, folder for quick captures (default: bm-remember)
   • primaryProject, project to write to (when absent, discover projects and explicitly select the listed default or sole project)

   Both are optional. Use the defaults if the block or a key is missing. Don't fail if there's no settings file.

2. Derive the note. Apply the bm-writing skill before drafting; match its depth to this lightweight capture, keep the user's wording and do not pad a small fact into an essay.

   • Content = the text in $ARGUMENTS, verbatim. Don't rewrite or pad it.
   • Title = the first line of that text, trimmed to ≤ 80 characters (append … if you truncate). If it's one long line, write a short descriptive title instead.
   • If $ARGUMENTS is empty (e.g. you were invoked because the user said "remember that…"), capture the specific thing they asked you to remember from the conversation. If it's genuinely unclear what to save, ask one short question.
