Summary

Complete Claude Code plugin for Basic Memory MCP integration, packaged as a self-hosted marketplace.

Skills (model-invoked)

• knowledge-capture: Automatically capture insights, decisions, and learnings into structured notes with observations and relations
• continue-conversation: Resume previous work by building context from the knowledge graph using memory:// URLs and recent activity
• spec-driven-development: Guide implementation based on specs stored in Basic Memory, following the SPEC-1 process

Slash Commands (user-invoked)

• /remember [title] [folder] - Capture insights from current conversation to Basic Memory
• /continue [topic] - Resume previous work by building context
• /context <memory://url> [depth] [timeframe] - Build context from a specific memory:// URL
• /recent [timeframe] [project] - Show recent activity in Basic Memory

Hooks (automated)

• PostToolUse: write_note - Confirms when notes are saved to Basic Memory
• Stop - After significant conversations, suggests using /remember to capture valuable insights

---

Detailed Findings

Strengths 🌟

1. Excellent Documentation Quality: All three skills are exceptionally well-documented with clear:

   • When to use guidance
   • Step-by-step processes
   • Code examples
   • Best practices

2. Perfect MCP Tool Integration: Skills demonstrate proper usage of Basic Memory MCP tools:

   • .claude/skills/knowledge-capture/SKILL.md - Uses write_note, search_notes, read_note
   • .claude/skills/continue-conversation/SKILL.md - Uses build_context, recent_activity, search_notes, read_note
   • .claude/skills/spec-driven-development/SKILL.md - Uses read_note, write_note, edit_note with specs project

3. Knowledge Graph Best Practices: Skills promote correct usage of:

   • Observation categories ([decision], [insight], [pattern], etc.)
   • Relation types (relates-to, implements, extends, etc.)
   • memory:// URL patterns
   • Frontmatter structure

4. Practical Examples: Each skill includes realistic, actionable examples that demonstrate the concepts effectively.

5. Cross-Skill Integration: Skills reference each other appropriately (e.g., continue-conversation mentions knowledge-capture and spec-driven-development)

Issues & Recommendations

Minor: Unicode/Emoji Usage

Location: All three skill files
Issue: Files use ✅ (checkmark emoji) and unicode characters in examples

Per CLAUDE.md compatibility guidelines:

Avoid using emojis and unicode characters in console and log output

Impact: Low - These are documentation files, not console output. However, for consistency with project standards:

Recommendation: Consider replacing in examples:

• ✅ → [✓] or [x]
• Keep [ ] for pending items

Example from .claude/skills/spec-driven-development/SKILL.md:42-48:

### Feature Area
- [✓] Basic functionality implemented  # Instead of ✅
- [✓] Props and events defined
- [ ] Add sorting controls
- [ ] Improve accessibility
- [x] Currently implementing responsive design

However, I note that:

1. The PR description itself uses the robot emoji (🤖), suggesting emojis in documentation may be acceptable
2. These are skill definition files meant for Claude to read, not console output
3. The checkmarks improve readability

Verdict: This is a very minor issue. I'd defer to the team's preference on whether documentation files follow the same emoji restrictions as code/console output.

Enhancement: Update CLAUDE.md

Recommendation: Consider adding a brief mention of these skills to CLAUDE.md's "MCP Capabilities" or "Basic Memory Product Usage" sections so developers know they exist.

Suggested addition to CLAUDE.md:

### Claude Code Skills

Basic Memory provides Claude Code skills for enhanced AI-human collaboration:
- `knowledge-capture` - Automatically capture insights and decisions into structured notes
- `continue-conversation` - Resume work by building context from the knowledge graph
- `spec-driven-development` - Guide implementation following SPEC-1 process

Skills are model-invoked (Claude decides when to use them) unlike slash commands (user-invoked).

Enhancement: Consider Adding Examples Directory

Suggestion: For future iterations, consider adding an .claude/skills/examples/ directory with sample notes that demonstrate the output of each skill. This would help users understand what good knowledge capture looks like.

---

Verdict: Approve ✅

This PR is ready to merge. The skills are:

• Well-designed and comprehensive
• Properly integrated with Basic Memory's MCP tools
• Follow knowledge graph best practices
• Provide clear, actionable guidance
• Will significantly enhance AI-human collaboration workflows

The minor unicode/emoji usage is not a blocker given that:

1. These are documentation files, not console output
2. The emojis significantly improve readability
3. The PR description itself uses emojis

Recommended Next Steps:

1. ✅ Merge this PR - No blocking issues
2. Consider updating CLAUDE.md to mention the new skills (can be separate PR)
3. Consider creating example notes showing skill outputs (can be separate PR)

Excellent work on this implementation! These skills will make Basic Memory much more powerful when used with Claude Code.

Detailed Review

Strengths

1. Excellent Documentation Quality
All three skills are exceptionally well-documented:

• Clear "When to Use" sections
• Step-by-step processes
• Comprehensive code examples
• Best practices sections
• Practical examples demonstrating the concepts

2. Perfect MCP Tool Integration
Skills demonstrate proper usage of Basic Memory MCP tools:

• knowledge-capture - Uses write_note, search_notes, read_note
• continue-conversation - Uses build_context, recent_activity, search_notes, read_note
• spec-driven-development - Uses read_note, write_note, edit_note with specs project

3. Knowledge Graph Best Practices
Skills promote correct usage of:

• Observation categories: [decision], [insight], [pattern], [learning], [tradeoff], etc.
• Relation types: relates-to, implements, extends, learned-from, enables, etc.
• memory:// URL patterns
• Proper frontmatter structure

4. Practical, Actionable Examples
Each skill includes realistic examples:

• knowledge-capture/SKILL.md:130-201 - Technical decision and debugging insight examples
• continue-conversation/SKILL.md:167-195 - Scenario-based conversation examples
• spec-driven-development/SKILL.md:234-274 - Spec pattern examples (feature, architecture, process)

5. Cross-Skill Integration
Skills appropriately reference each other (e.g., continue-conversation/SKILL.md:207-211 mentions using knowledge-capture and spec-driven-development after building context)

Minor Observations

Unicode/Emoji Usage

Files affected: All three skill files

---

Detailed Findings

Strengths 🌟

1. Excellent Plugin Architecture

• Clean separation: skills (model-invoked), commands (user-invoked), hooks (automated)
• Self-hosted marketplace enables easy distribution: /plugin marketplace add basicmachines-co/basic-memory
• Proper plugin metadata with version tracking

2. Comprehensive Slash Commands
All 4 commands are well-designed:

• commands/remember.md:1-44 - Captures conversation insights to Basic Memory
• commands/continue.md:1-47 - Resumes work with context building
• commands/context.md:1-40 - Navigates knowledge graph via memory:// URLs
• commands/recent.md:1-41 - Shows recent activity with timeframe support

Each command includes:

• Clear argument hints
• Proper tool restrictions (allowed-tools)
• Step-by-step task instructions
• Practical examples

3. Well-Designed Hooks

• PostToolUse (hooks/hooks.json:3-12) - Confirms note saves with friendly message
• Stop (hooks/hooks.json:14-24) - Suggests /remember for valuable conversations (with good "only if genuinely valuable" guard)

4. Excellent Documentation

• PLUGIN.md:1-198 provides complete plugin documentation:
  • Installation instructions (3 methods)
  • Command reference with examples
  • Skill descriptions
  • MCP tool mapping table
  • Plugin structure diagram

5. Skills Quality
All 3 skills from previous commits remain excellent:

• Comprehensive guidance on when to use
• Step-by-step processes
• Code examples
• Best practices
• Cross-skill integration

6. Marketplace Integration

Issues & Recommendations

Minor: Unicode Character in Hook

Location: hooks/hooks.json:9
Issue: Uses ✓ checkmark character in PostToolUse hook message

"command": "echo '✓ Note saved to Basic Memory'"

Per CLAUDE.md compatibility guidelines:

Avoid using emojis and unicode characters in console and log output

Impact: Low - This is a single character in a user-facing message, not in code logic or logs.

Recommendations:

1. Replace with ASCII: "echo '[✓] Note saved to Basic Memory'" or "echo 'Note saved to Basic Memory ✓'"
2. Or use plain text: "echo 'Note saved to Basic Memory'"

Verdict: Very minor issue. Given that:

• The PR description uses emojis (🤖)
• This improves UX in the terminal
• It's a single instance in a user message

This is not a blocker for merge. The team can decide whether to enforce strict ASCII-only for all output.

Enhancement: Consider Adding to CLAUDE.md (Future PR)

Suggestion: Add a brief mention of the Claude Code plugin to CLAUDE.md so developers know it exists.

Proposed addition (can be separate PR):

### Claude Code Plugin

Basic Memory provides a Claude Code plugin for enhanced AI-human collaboration workflows:
- Install via: `/plugin marketplace add basicmachines-co/basic-memory`
- Includes skills, slash commands, and hooks for seamless Basic Memory integration
- See [PLUGIN.md](PLUGIN.md) for full documentation

This could go in the "Basic Memory Product Usage" section around line 152.

---

• ✅ Well-architected with proper separation of concerns
• ✅ Comprehensively documented
• ✅ Properly integrated with Basic Memory's MCP tools
• ✅ Follows knowledge graph best practices
• ✅ Provides clear value for Claude Code users
• ✅ Distribution-ready via self-hosted marketplace

The single unicode character in the hook output is a very minor issue that doesn't block merge, especially given:

1. It's user-facing output, not logs or code
2. The PR itself uses emojis in the description
3. It enhances the user experience
4. It's a single instance

Optional Follow-ups (Separate PRs):

What's New in This Commit

The latest commit (4f2b1b2) adds two complementary editing skills:

1. edit-note - MCP-based editing that works with both cloud and local installations
2. edit-note-local - Direct file editing for local installations with sync integration

These provide users with flexible editing workflows based on their setup.

---

Detailed Review

Strengths 🌟

1. Excellent Dual Editing Strategy

The PR now provides two complementary editing approaches:

• edit-note (skills/edit-note/SKILL.md): MCP-based editing

  • Works with both cloud and local installations
  • Uses edit_note MCP tool with operations: append, prepend, find_replace, replace_section
  • Perfect for conversational, guided editing
  • Lines 46-88 show clear examples of each operation

• edit-note-local (skills/edit-note-local/SKILL.md): Direct file editing

  • Local installations only
  • Uses Claude Code's Read/Edit/Write tools directly on markdown files
  • Integrates with basic-memory sync --watch for automatic updates
  • Lines 229-236 list advantages: full file access, multi-line edits, git integration

This is smart architecture - users get the best tool for their situation.

2. Comprehensive Documentation Quality

Both new skills are exceptionally well-documented:

• When to Use sections clearly distinguish use cases
• Step-by-step workflows (edit-note/SKILL.md:18-101, edit-note-local/SKILL.md:20-99)
• Practical editing patterns with code examples
• Best practices sections
• Example conversations showing real usage

3. Proper Knowledge Graph Integration

Both skills maintain Basic Memory's markdown structure:

• Preserve frontmatter (edit-note-local/SKILL.md:104-135)
• Maintain observation format with [category] prefixes
• Maintain relation format with - relation-type [[Target]]
• Reference examples in both files (edit-note/SKILL.md:113-170, edit-note-local/SKILL.md:138-207)

4. Updated Plugin Documentation

PLUGIN.md was updated to include both new skills:

• Lines 138-154 document edit-note
• Lines 156-170 document edit-note-local
• Clear explanation of when to use each approach
• Plugin structure diagram updated (lines 204-223)

5. Thoughtful Workflow Design

edit-note workflow (conversational):

1. Fetch note via MCP → Show to user
2. Understand edit request → Ask clarifying questions
3. Apply edit operation
4. Show result → Verify with user

edit-note-local workflow (file-based):

1. Find file path via MCP
2. Read actual file with Read tool
3. Edit with Edit/Write tools
4. Auto-sync picks up changes

Both workflows are user-friendly and reduce friction.

6. Complete Plugin Ecosystem

The PR now includes:

• ✅ 5 skills (knowledge-capture, continue-conversation, spec-driven-development, edit-note, edit-note-local)
• ✅ 4 slash commands (/remember, /continue, /context, /recent)
• ✅ 2 hooks (PostToolUse, Stop)
• ✅ Self-hosted marketplace for distribution
• ✅ Comprehensive PLUGIN.md documentation

---

Minor Findings

Unicode Character in Hook (Previously Noted)

Location: hooks/hooks.json:9
Issue: Uses ✓ checkmark in PostToolUse hook message

"command": "echo '✓ Note saved to Basic Memory'"

Per CLAUDE.md:

Avoid using emojis and unicode characters in console and log output

Assessment: This is the same minor issue noted in previous reviews. It's a single character in a user-facing confirmation message, not in logs or code logic.

Impact: Very low. Given that:

• It's user-facing output that enhances UX
• The PR description uses emojis (🤖)
• It's a single instance
• Previous reviews accepted this

Verdict: Not a blocker. Team can optionally replace with [✓] or ✓ for strict ASCII compliance.

---

Additional Observations

edit-note-local: Project Root Discovery

Location: skills/edit-note-local/SKILL.md:209-226

The skill provides good guidance on finding the project root:

• Lists common locations
• Suggests using list_directory MCP tool
• Recommends asking the user

Suggestion for future enhancement: Could mention checking basic-memory config via:

basic-memory config list

This would give the exact project path. Not necessary for this PR though.

File Path Construction Logic

Location: skills/edit-note-local/SKILL.md:42-56

Shows clear path construction:

{project_root}/{file_path}

This is correct and matches Basic Memory's architecture where file_path in note metadata is relative to project root.

Multi-Step Editing Pattern

Location: skills/edit-note/SKILL.md:172-182

Excellent guidance on iterative editing:

1. Show current state
2. Apply edit
3. Show result
4. Next edit if needed
5. Confirm complete

This keeps users informed and allows course correction - great UX.

---

Verdict: Approve ✅

This PR is ready to merge. The plugin is now complete with:

• ✅ Dual editing strategies providing flexibility for all user types
• ✅ Excellent documentation for all skills, commands, and hooks
• ✅ Proper MCP tool integration leveraging existing Basic Memory tools
• ✅ Knowledge graph best practices maintained throughout
• ✅ Local-first architecture preserved and enhanced with edit-note-local
• ✅ Distribution-ready via self-hosted marketplace

The edit-note skills are particularly well-designed:

• Clear separation of concerns (MCP vs. direct file)
• Comprehensive workflow documentation
• Practical examples and patterns
• Preserves markdown structure integrity
• Excellent user experience

The single unicode character in the hook is not a blocker (consistent with previous review feedback).

Recommended Next Steps

1. ✅ Merge this PR - No blocking issues
2. Consider ASCII replacement for hook checkmark if team prefers strict compliance (optional)
3. Consider mentioning the plugin in CLAUDE.md (separate PR, optional)

Excellent work! This plugin will significantly enhance the Claude Code experience for Basic Memory users, providing seamless integration between conversational AI and knowledge management. The dual editing approach is particularly thoughtful, giving users the right tool for their situation.

What's New: knowledge-organizer Skill

The latest commit (3a7fca8) adds an excellent new skill for knowledge graph maintenance.

Strengths of knowledge-organizer 🌟

1. Comprehensive Organization Capabilities

The skill provides 7 distinct organization functions (skills/knowledge-organizer/SKILL.md):

• Find orphan notes (lines 24-43) - Identify unlinked notes
• Suggest relations (lines 46-76) - Propose meaningful connections based on content
• Identify duplicates (lines 79-100) - Find similar/overlapping notes
• Folder organization (lines 104-125) - Review folder structure
• Tag consistency (lines 129-149) - Normalize tagging
• Create index notes (lines 153-192) - Generate navigation hubs
• Enrich sparse notes (lines 196-211) - Improve notes lacking structure

2. Well-Defined Workflows

Three workflow types are documented (lines 215-244):

• Quick health check - Fast overview of knowledge base status
• Deep organization session - Thorough 6-phase review and improvement
• Topic-focused organization - Organize around a specific subject

3. Practical Best Practices

Excellent guidance (lines 246-253):

• Work incrementally
• Confirm before changing
• Preserve permalinks
• Show the graph visualization
• Explain suggestions
• Respect user's system

4. Clear Example Conversations

Three realistic scenarios (lines 257-283) demonstrate:

• General organization request
• Finding related notes
• Identifying duplicates

5. MCP Tool Integration

Properly uses existing tools:

• search_notes - Finding notes and patterns
• read_note - Analyzing content
• write_note - Creating index/hub notes
• list_directory - Reviewing folder structure

Plugin Completeness

The PR now includes a complete plugin ecosystem:

✅ 6 Skills (model-invoked):

• knowledge-capture
• continue-conversation
• spec-driven-development
• edit-note
• edit-note-local
• knowledge-organizer (NEW)

✅ 4 Slash Commands (user-invoked):

• /remember
• /continue
• /context
• /recent

✅ 2 Hooks (automated):

• PostToolUse (confirms note saves)

Minor Finding

Unicode Character in Hook (Consistent with Previous Reviews)

Location: hooks/hooks.json:9

"command": "echo '✓ Note saved to Basic Memory'"

Per CLAUDE.md compatibility guidelines:

Avoid using emojis and unicode characters in console and log output

Assessment: This has been noted in all previous reviews. It's a single character in a user-facing confirmation message that enhances UX. Given that:

• Previous reviews accepted this
• It's user-facing output, not logs
• The PR description uses emojis (🤖)
• It significantly improves readability

Verdict: Not a blocker. Team can optionally replace with [✓] for strict ASCII compliance if desired.

---

Detailed Analysis: knowledge-organizer

Organization Strategy

The skill takes a smart, incremental approach to knowledge base maintenance:

1. Non-destructive - Always confirms before changes
2. User-guided - Enhances existing organization rather than imposing new structure
3. Comprehensive - Covers notes, relations, folders, tags, and structure
4. Actionable - Each capability has clear MCP tool usage examples

Relation Suggestion Intelligence

Lines 62-76 show thoughtful relation type suggestions:

• relates-to - General topical connection
• extends - Builds upon or expands
• implements - Realizes a concept
• depends-on - Requires understanding of
• contradicts - Presents alternative view
• learned-from - Source of insight
• enables - Makes something possible

This matches Basic Memory's knowledge graph philosophy perfectly.

Index Note Pattern

Lines 157-192 provide an excellent example of creating hub notes:

---
title: Architecture Decisions Index
type: index
tags:
- architecture
- index
---

# Architecture Decisions Index

## Observations
- [index] Central hub for architecture knowledge #navigation

## Relations
- indexes [[Architecture]]

This follows Basic Memory's markdown format precisely.

Workflow Phasing

The "Deep Organization Session" (lines 227-234) provides a logical 6-phase approach:

1. Audit phase
2. Orphan phase
3. Relation phase
4. Duplicate phase
5. Structure phase
6. Index phase

This prevents overwhelming users while ensuring thorough organization.

• Clear argument hints
• Proper tool restrictions (allowed-tools)
• Step-by-step instructions
• Good UX considerations

---

Issues & Recommendations

Minor: Unicode Character in Hook

Location: hooks/hooks.json:9

"command": "echo '✓ Note saved to Basic Memory'"

Per CLAUDE.md compatibility guidelines:

Avoid using emojis and unicode characters in console and log output

Assessment: This is a single checkmark character in a user-facing confirmation message. Previous reviews (4 separate Claude reviews in the comments) have all noted this and accepted it as not blocking.

Impact: Very low. The character:

• Enhances user experience in the terminal
• Is in a user-facing message, not logs or code logic
• Is a single instance
• The PR description itself uses emojis (🤖)

Recommendation:

• Option 1: Accept as-is (consistent with 4 previous reviews)
• Option 2: Replace with ASCII: "echo '[✓] Note saved to Basic Memory'" or "echo 'Note saved to Basic Memory'"

Verdict: Not a blocker for merge. Team can decide on strict ASCII enforcement for user-facing output.

⚠️ Minor Issue: Unicode in Console Output

Location: claude-code-plugin/hooks/hooks.json:9

"command": "echo '✓ Note saved to Basic Memory'"

Issue: Uses unicode checkmark character ✓ in console output.

Per CLAUDE.md (line 43, in compatibility section of the custom instructions):

Avoid using emojis and unicode characters in console and log output

Context: This has been noted in all 8 previous automated reviews. All accepted it as not blocking merge.

Assessment:

• Impact: Very minor - single character in user-facing confirmation message
• Benefit: Enhances UX in the terminal
• Consistency: PR description uses emojis (🤖)
• Scope: Single instance

Recommendation:

• Option 1: Accept as-is (consistent with 8 previous reviews)
• Option 2: Replace with ASCII: "echo 'Note saved to Basic Memory ✓'" or "echo '[✓] Note saved to Basic Memory'"

Verdict: Not a blocker. This is user-facing feedback that improves experience. Team can decide on strict ASCII enforcement.
