SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a robust, file-based memory system that prevents knowledge loss across sessions and helps manage information overload by organizing it according to Tiago Forte's PARA method.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Knowledge Graph: Stores atomic facts in YAML files within PARA-defined folders (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives).
  • Daily Notes Timeline: Captures raw events and conversations as a chronological record.
  • Tacit Knowledge Capture: Documents user patterns, preferences, and lessons learned.
  • Automated Curation: Summarizes knowledge and manages retrieval priority based on access recency and frequency.
  • Use Case: When discussing a new client, the skill can create an entry in areas/companies/<client_name>/items.yaml to store key facts, and update summary.md to reflect the latest interactions.

Quick Start

Use the para-memory-files skill to save the fact "The user prefers dark mode" to the relevant entity.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize knowledge with the PARA method across AI sessions?

To organize knowledge with the PARA method, this system stores atomic YAML facts in Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives folders, creating a persistent knowledge graph that prevents data loss across AI sessions.

What is the best way to maintain persistent memory for note taking in AI workflows?

Maintaining persistent memory relies on a three-layer system: a PARA knowledge graph with atomic YAML facts, daily notes as a raw timeline, and tacit knowledge tracking for user patterns and preferences.

How do I save a new fact to a specific entity using file-based memory?

Saving a new fact to a specific entity involves writing atomic data to the relevant YAML file, such as adding client details to areas/companies/<client_name>/items.yaml, which automatically updates the summary.md file.

Does this PARA knowledge management system handle memory decay and automated curation?

Yes, the PARA knowledge management system handles memory decay and automated curation by adjusting retrieval priority based on access recency and frequency, while performing weekly synthesis to summarize stored knowledge.

Can I capture tacit knowledge and user preferences with PARA note taking?

Yes, capturing tacit knowledge is possible through a dedicated memory layer that documents user patterns, preferences, and lessons learned, functioning alongside the daily notes timeline and structured knowledge graph.
