SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Persistent, file-based memory organized by the PARA method to capture, retrieve, and synthesize knowledge across sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PARA knowledge graph with life/ entities containing summary.md and items.yaml for durable facts.
  • Daily notes stored in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md to capture raw timeline events.
  • Tacit knowledge about user preferences and patterns stored in MEMORY.md for quick recall.
  • Weekly synthesis and recall support via qmd queries to surface relevant context.

Quick Start

Create PARA-based memory folders under $AGENT_HOME and begin recording knowledge as life, memory, and tacit notes.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I persist agent memory across sessions using a file system?▼

To persist agent memory across sessions, this Skill uses a file-based system with daily notes in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md and tacit knowledge in MEMORY.md, ensuring durable recall. It organizes knowledge using the PARA method for immediate retrieval.

What is the PARA method for personal knowledge management?▼

The PARA method for knowledge management organizes information into Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives. This Skill implements it by creating a knowledge graph with life/ entities containing summary.md and items.yaml for durable facts.

How do I set up a PARA-based memory folder structure?▼

To set up PARA-based memory folders, create directories under $AGENT_HOME. You will establish a three-layer model: life/ for the knowledge graph, memory/ for daily timeline notes, and MEMORY.md for tacit user preferences.

Can I use daily notes for weekly synthesis and recall?▼

Yes, daily notes support weekly synthesis and recall. Raw timeline events captured in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md are processed using qmd queries to surface relevant context and synthesize past events efficiently.

Does this memory management approach work without external dependencies?▼

Yes, this memory management approach works without external dependencies. It relies entirely on a local file-based system within $AGENT_HOME, using standard markdown and YAML files to store and retrieve knowledge.

When should I not use a file-based knowledge graph for memory?▼

You should not use a file-based knowledge graph if your agent requires real-time cross-session synchronization or operates in an environment without persistent local file storage. This PARA method depends on local file availability.
