Summary

Updates the skills docs to match the new skills distribution on the rolling skills-latest GitHub release.

content/08.integrations/11.skills.md (Agent Skills guide)

  • Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop): recommended step is now "download basic-memory.zip and upload it" via Customize → Skills → + → Create skill → Upload a skill. Documents the code-execution prerequisite (Settings → Capabilities → Code execution and file creation), the plans (Free, Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise), and the Enterprise owner toggle (Organization settings → Plugins & skills). Tells readers not to unzip the file.
  • ChatGPT: recommended step is to upload basic-memory-chatgpt.zip via Plugins → Skills → Create → Upload from your computer. Notes that uploads are available on Business, Enterprise, Healthcare, and Edu, that an admin must allow skill uploading, and points Free/Plus/Pro users to the ChatGPT connector page plus custom instructions.
  • Coding agents: npx skills add basicmachines-co/basic-memory/skills -g (explains -g), plus invocation (/memory-notes in Claude Code, $memory-notes in Codex).
  • Hand-unzip bundles: basic-memory-skills.zip / basic-memory-skills-chatgpt.zip are described as multi-skill bundles for unzipping by hand, with a note that sets them apart from the uploadable combined basic-memory.zip.
  • Individual skills (optional) table: one row per user-facing skills/memory-* skill, each with a Claude zip and a ChatGPT zip link. Adds memory-comark and memory-quest, leaves out the internal memory-ci-capture, and marks memory-reflect, memory-defrag, and memory-literary-analysis as needing a local install. I checked those three: reflect and defrag work on on-disk MEMORY.md/memory/ files, and literary-analysis uses the bm CLI on a local .txt.
  • No more links to raw SKILL.md files (that path loses supporting files like memory-comark's references/components.md), and the old "upload the SKILL.md" instructions are gone.

content/10.reference/3.ai-assistant-guide.md and content/02.whats-new/09.agent-skills.md: install snippets now use -g and point Claude/ChatGPT users to the combined zip.

Not live yet

The skills-latest zip links (including basic-memory.zip, memory-comark*.zip, and memory-quest*.zip) start working once basicmachines-co/basic-memory's skills publishing PR (branch ci-skills-release-zips) and #1677 (memory-quest) merge. Until then, those links will 404.

Verification

  • npm run check:docs passes. Its warnings were already there and none are in the changed files.
  • npm run build succeeds.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Lead the Claude and ChatGPT install paths with the combined
basic-memory.zip / basic-memory-chatgpt.zip skill, keep per-skill zips
as an optional table (adds memory-comark and memory-quest, marks the
local-only skills), document npx skills add -g for coding agents, and
describe the hand-unzip bundles. Stops linking raw SKILL.md files.
