bm-remember

Quickly capture a thought, fact, or reminder into Basic Memory as a lightweight note. Use when the user says "remember that…", "note this", "save this to memory", or runs /basic-memory:bm-remember. For quick deliberate capture — not full decision or session records.

Quality

Content

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A tight, highly actionable skill body that gives exact field values and routing logic without padding, sequenced clearly with sensible guardrails. It is a model simple-skill write-up with nothing material to improve.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Lean and efficient: it assumes Claude knows what Basic Memory is and gives only task-specific detail (config precedence, field mapping), with every section earning its place and no concept over-explanation.

3 / 3

Actionability

Fully concrete, copy-paste-ready guidance: exact write_note parameters (title, directory, content, tags=["manual-capture"]), title-derivation rules (≤80 chars, append …), and explicit project/project_id routing — no vague direction.

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

A clearly sequenced four-step process with explicit guardrails ('Don't fail if there's no settings file', 'Don't overwrite an existing note unless…'); the single capture is non-destructive/non-batch so no validate-retry loop is required.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

Under 50 lines with no bundle files and no nested references; per the simple-skill rule, its well-organized Steps/Notes sections and one-level sibling-skill pointers (bm-writing, bm-decide, bm-checkpoint) earn the top score.

Description

90%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A well-crafted description that answers what and when with natural trigger terms and explicit boundaries against related skills. Its only limitation is that the single-purpose nature limits the count of distinct concrete actions, capping specificity at the middle anchor.

Suggestions

Optionally note the concrete downstream action (e.g. 'writes a tagged note via the Basic Memory MCP server') to push specificity toward the top anchor.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain and concrete action ('capture a thought, fact, or reminder into Basic Memory as a lightweight note') but describes a single capture action rather than the multiple distinct actions the top anchor expects.

2 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (capture into Basic Memory as a lightweight note) and when ('Use when the user says…'), with explicit triggers, matching the top anchor.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Good coverage of natural phrases users would say ('remember that…', 'note this', 'save this to memory') plus the slash-command invocation, matching the top anchor.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Carves a clear niche ('For quick deliberate capture — not full decision or session records') that distinguishes it from sibling skills, with distinct triggers unlikely to conflict.
