Memory Schema

Manage structured note types using Basic Memory's Picoschema system. Schemas define what fields a note type should have, making notes uniform, queryable, and validatable.

When to Use

New note type emerging — you notice several notes share the same structure (meetings, people, decisions)

Validation check — confirm existing notes conform to their schema

Schema drift — detect fields that notes use but the schema doesn't define (or vice versa)

Schema evolution — add/remove/change fields as requirements evolve

On demand — user asks to create, check, or manage schemas

Picoschema Syntax Reference

Schemas are defined in YAML frontmatter using Picoschema — a compact notation for describing note structure.
