Memory Tasks

Manage work-in-progress using Basic Memory's schema system. Tasks are just notes with type: Task — they live in the knowledge graph, validate against a schema, and survive context compaction.

When to Use

• Starting multi-step work (3+ steps, or anything that might outlast the context window)
• After compaction/restart — search for active tasks to resume
• Pre-compaction flush — update all active tasks with current state
• On demand — user asks to create, check, or manage tasks
