New capability to research topics and save structured reports:
/research command:
- /research <topic> [folder]
- Investigates using web search, codebase search, and existing notes
- Produces structured report with findings and analysis
- Saves to research/ folder by default
research skill (model-invoked):
- Triggers on "research", "investigate", "look into", "explore"
- Gathers information from multiple sources
- Synthesizes findings into actionable reports
- Links to sources and related notes
Report structure:
- Summary and research question
- Key findings with evidence
- Analysis and recommendations
- Open questions and sources
- Observations and relations for knowledge graph

User-invoked command to complement the knowledge-organize skill.
Actions:
- /organize health - Quick overview of KB status (default)
- /organize orphans - Find notes with no relations
- /organize duplicates - Find similar/overlapping notes
- /organize relations [note] - Suggest connections for a note
- /organize tags - Review and normalize tag consistency

New skill to help users organize and maintain their knowledge base:
Capabilities:
- Find orphan notes (no relations to other notes)
- Suggest relations based on content similarity
- Identify duplicate or overlapping notes
- Review and suggest folder organization
- Normalize inconsistent tags
- Create index/hub notes for topic navigation
- Enrich sparse notes with observations and structure
Includes workflows for:
- Quick health check (overview of KB status)
- Deep organization session (thorough review)
- Topic-focused organization (organize around a subject)

Add two new skills for editing Basic Memory notes:
edit-note (MCP-based):
- Works with both cloud and local installations
- Conversational editing workflow via MCP tools
- Uses edit_note operations: append, prepend, find_replace, replace_section
- Shows before/after state for user verification
edit-note-local (file-based):
- For local installations with file system access
- Edits markdown files directly using Claude Code's Read/Edit/Write
- Changes sync automatically via `basic-memory sync --watch`
- Full file access including frontmatter editing

Add three model-invoked skills that help Claude automatically use
Basic Memory's MCP tools in the right contexts:
- knowledge-capture: Capture insights, decisions, and learnings into
structured notes with observations and relations
- continue-conversation: Resume previous work by building context from
the knowledge graph using memory:// URLs and recent activity
- spec-driven-development: Guide implementation based on specs stored
in Basic Memory, following the SPEC-1 process
Unlike slash commands (user-invoked), skills are automatically
discovered and applied by Claude based on conversation context.

Add Postgres service container and separate test step for PostgreSQL backend testing.
The Postgres tests only run on Linux runners since GitHub Actions service containers
are only available on Linux.
- Add postgres:17 service container with health checks
- Add 'Run tests (Postgres)' step with Linux-only condition
- Rename existing test step to 'Run tests (SQLite)' for clarity
This enables CI testing of dual database backend support introduced in the
postgres-support feature branch.

After rclone synchronizes files between local and cloud storage, the
database needs to perform a full scan to ensure it captures all changes.
Previously, incremental sync (watermark optimization) could miss files
that were changed remotely.
Changes:
- project sync command now calls /project/sync?force_full=true
- project bisync command now calls /project/sync?force_full=true
- Ensures complete database refresh after file synchronization
This guarantees the database is fully in sync with the filesystem
after any rclone sync or bisync operation.
