SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

File-based PARA memory organizes and persists knowledge across sessions by applying Tiago Forte's PARA method, reducing cognitive load and ensuring long-term context is retained.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Knowledge Graph: life/ entities with summary.md and items.yaml for durable facts.
  • Daily Notes: memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md raw timeline for events and context.
  • Tacit Knowledge: patterns and user habits stored for quick recall.
  • Planning and Synthesis: planning files, memory decay, and weekly syntheses with recall via qmd.

Quick Start

Create a new project under life/projects with summary.md and items.yaml, then run a weekly synthesis to update the PARA memory.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize persistent knowledge across sessions using the PARA method?▼

To organize persistent knowledge across sessions using the PARA method, structure data into YAML and Markdown within a consistent folder hierarchy, creating life/ entities for durable facts and daily notes for raw timelines.

What is the best way to build a personal knowledge graph with daily notes?▼

Building a personal knowledge graph with daily notes involves storing durable facts in life/ entities using summary.md and items.yaml, while capturing raw event timelines in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md files.

How do I run a weekly synthesis to update my PARA memory and recall past events?▼

Running a weekly synthesis to update PARA memory applies memory decay rules and uses recall via qmd, consolidating daily notes and tacit patterns into your structured knowledge graph.

Can I retain tacit knowledge and user habits long-term without deleting old files?▼

You can retain tacit knowledge and user habits long-term without deleting old files because the system enforces a non-deletion policy alongside memory decay rules and an atomic fact schema.

Does this PARA memory system require specific file formats for planning and recall workflows?▼

Yes, planning and recall workflows require structuring data in YAML and Markdown formats, enforcing an atomic fact schema within a consistent folder hierarchy to manage knowledge decay.

When do I need to create a new project under life/projects for my knowledge management?▼

You need to create a new project under life/projects with summary.md and items.yaml when starting a new initiative, allowing the system to persist knowledge and run weekly syntheses.
