SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Memory organization and persistence across sessions using a PARA-based file system to manage knowledge.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three-layer memory model: a knowledge graph in life/ with summary.md and items.yaml, daily notes timeline, and tacit knowledge, plus planning files; recall via qmd and weekly syntheses.
  • Workflow support: save durable facts, update plans, perform weekly syntheses, and recall past context across sessions.
  • Real-world scenario: a researcher maintains projects, areas, and resources, writes daily notes, and periodically synthesizes weekly summaries for review.

Quick Start

Create a new memory entry by adding a folder under life/ with summary.md and items.yaml and then log today’s daily note in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize and persist memory across sessions using a PARA file system?▼

To persist memory across sessions using a PARA file system, organize durable facts into a three-layer architecture: a knowledge graph in life/, daily notes, and tacit knowledge, enabling recall via qmd and weekly syntheses.

What is the best way to manage daily notes and weekly syntheses for multiple projects?▼

Managing daily notes and weekly syntheses is handled by logging daily entries in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md and periodically synthesizing weekly summaries, allowing you to recall past context and update planning files across projects.

How does the three-layer memory model work for knowledge management?▼

The three-layer memory model works by combining a knowledge graph in life/ containing summary.md and items.yaml, a daily notes timeline, and tacit knowledge to capture durable facts and enable recall across sessions.

Can I use PARA-based knowledge management for long-running research workflows?▼

Yes, this PARA-based knowledge management applies to long-running workflows where a researcher maintains projects, areas, and resources, writes daily notes, and synthesizes weekly summaries for review.

How do I create a new memory entry in the PARA file structure?▼

To create a new memory entry in the PARA file structure, add a new folder under life/ containing summary.md and items.yaml, then log today's context in a daily note at memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md.
