What it does

Set up Basic Memory for Codex at user or project level by mapping a Basic Memory project and seeding schemas.

Basic Memory for Codex Setup

Set up the current repo so Codex can orient from Basic Memory and checkpoint work back into it. Keep the interview short, but always ask before choosing where data will be written.

Preconditions

Confirm Basic Memory is reachable before changing files:

  1. Prefer MCP: call bm_project(command="list").
  2. If MCP tools are not available, run basic-memory --version or bm --version.
  3. If neither works, stop and tell the user to install Basic Memory and connect the MCP server. The plugin bundles an .mcp.json that starts uvx --prerelease=allow basic-memory mcp.
  4. List available projects before the interview. Include cloud/local source, workspace, qualified name, and project id when available.

Interview

Ask the user to choose the project mapping. Do not infer write targets from the repo, default project, current directory, or previous local state.
