What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps manage the lifecycle of entities within Basic Memory by providing a clear framework for updating their status, moving them between organizational folders, and ensuring that valuable information is archived rather than deleted.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Status Transition Management: Handles user-defined status changes like "completed," "missed," "cancelled," or "paused."
- Folder Organization: Moves notes to appropriate status-based folders (e.g.,
active/toarchive/). - Frontmatter Updates: Modifies YAML frontmatter to reflect new statuses and completion dates.
- Use Case: When a user indicates a task is "done," this skill will move the corresponding note to the
tasks/completed/folder and update its frontmatter tostatus: completed.
Quick Start
Use the memory-lifecycle skill to mark the 'quarterly report' entity as completed and move it to the archive folder.
