Promote a note from your personal Basic Memory project to a shared team project, with attribution. Use when the user says "share this with the team", "publish this decision", or runs /basic-memory:bm-share. This is the deliberate way to write to a team workspace — auto-capture never does.

Share to a team project
Copy a note from the personal/primary project into a configured team project so
teammates can see it. This is the only path by which the plugin writes to a shared
project — session checkpoints and /basic-memory:bm-remember always stay personal.
Steps
Resolve config. Read the
basicMemoryblock with the hooks' precedence.
For the user-level base, appendsettings.jsonto the literal value ofCLAUDE_CONFIG_DIRwhen that environment variable is present; do not trim it,
expand~, or treat an empty value as unset. Use~/.claude/settings.jsononly
when the variable is absent. Then the project's.claude/settings.jsonand.claude/settings.local.jsonoverride per key:teamProjects— a map of<project-ref>→{ "promoteFolder": "shared" }.
These are the allowed share targets.<project-ref>is a workspace-qualified
name (e.g.my-team-2/notes) or anexternal_idUUID.primaryProject— the source project notes are read from.
If
teamProjectsis empty, tell the user there's no share target configured and
suggest adding one (or running/basic-memory:bm-setup), then stop. Don't invent a
target.Find the source note. From
$ARGUMENTS(a title, permalink, ormemory://
URL),read_noteit fromprimaryProject. If$ARGUMENTSis empty (you were
invoked from "share this"), use the note most clearly referenced in the
conversation — confirm which one if there's any ambiguity. Capture its title,
full content (including frontmatter), and source permalink.Pick the target. If
teamProjectshas one entry, use it. If several, ask
which team project to share to. Use that entry'spromoteFolder(defaultshared).Confirm before writing. This write is visible to teammates, so show the user
what you're about to do — "Share '' to /?" — and
wait for a yes. Never share silently.Write the shared copy with
write_note:- Route to the target: if the team ref is an
external_idUUID, pass it asproject_id; otherwise pass the workspace-qualified name asproject. (A bare
UUID inprojectwon't route — Basic Memory takes UUIDs only viaproject_id.) directory= thepromoteFoldertitle= the source titlecontent= the source's content, with attribution added: keep its frontmatter
(so a shared decision staystype: decisionand is findable in the team's
structured recall), add ashared_from: <source permalink>frontmatter field,
and add an observation- [context] Shared from <source permalink>.
Don't overwrite an existing note at the target unless the user says so.
- Route to the target: if the team ref is an
Confirm in one line: what was shared and the new team permalink, e.g.
Shared → my-team-2/shared/<slug>.
Notes
- Sharing copies the note; the original stays in your project. Edits to one
don't propagate to the other. - Don't share notes containing secrets, credentials, or anything the user wouldn't
want teammates to see — if in doubt, ask. - Use whichever Basic Memory MCP server is connected; route to the team project by
theproject(qualified name) orproject_id(UUID) argument.
