SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

b4brain provides structured guidance for applying PARA and GTD in a personal knowledge system, helping users decide where to file information and how to execute tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

Guided PARA & GTD explanations: Clarifies how to apply the PARA categories (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives) and GTD steps (Capture, Clarify, Organize, Reflect, Engage) within b4brain.
Decision support & troubleshooting: Offers decision trees and practical steps for categorization, context assignment, priority setting, and problem solving.
Integrated reference framework: Reuses the repository’s references (para-method, gtd-workflow, unified-workflow) to provide consistent guidance and quick-start workflows.

Quick Start

Ask for a PARA categorization example and provide a scenario (e.g., a new article, a task, or a piece of reference material).
Request a step-by-step GTD processing plan that starts with /capture and leads to appropriate filing in 1_Projects, 2_Areas, or 3_Resources.
Use /review guidance to determine whether to perform daily, weekly, or monthly system checks.

FAQPage Schema

How do I apply PARA and GTD methodologies to manage projects and tasks?▼

To apply PARA and GTD, you use structured guidance to process items through Capture, Clarify, Organize, Reflect, and Engage steps, filing them into Projects, Areas, Resources, or Archives categories. This ensures consistent categorization and execution.

What is the best way to categorize new information using PARA decision trees?▼

The best way to categorize information using PARA decision trees is to follow reference-driven workflows that assign context and priority. This structured approach guides where to file articles or tasks across Projects, Areas, Resources, or Archives for easy retrieval.

How do I set up a step-by-step GTD processing plan for captured tasks?▼

A GTD processing plan starts with capturing tasks and leads to appropriate filing in Projects, Areas, or Resources. It uses frontmatter-driven metadata and decision trees to clarify context assignment and priority setting for consistent task execution.

When should I perform daily, weekly, or monthly GTD system reviews?▼

You should perform daily, weekly, or monthly GTD system reviews by using dedicated review guidance. This reflection step ensures your PARA categories remain organized and your task workflows stay aligned with current priorities and ongoing projects.

Does b4brain require specific dependencies to integrate PARA workflows?▼

No, b4brain requires no external dependencies to integrate PARA workflows. It reuses the repository's internal references and front-end workflows to provide structured frontmatter-driven metadata and reference-driven decision trees natively.

Why use frontmatter-driven metadata for GTD context assignment?▼

Using frontmatter-driven metadata for GTD context assignment enables consistent guidance and easy retrieval within the knowledge management system. It integrates directly with reference-driven decision trees to ensure accurate priority setting and troubleshooting.
