PARA-based memory organizes knowledge across sessions by categorizing information into projects, areas, resources, and archives. It uses a knowledge graph under life/, a daily notes timeline, and tacit user patterns to persist and recall context.

To start tracking with PARA memory files, create a new entity under the life/ directory by adding a summary.md file and registering an entry in items.yaml. This establishes the baseline for cross-session recall and planning.

Yes, you can use daily notes and planning files for knowledge management in agent workflows. The system supports planning files, weekly synthesis, and rapid recall via qmd to manage long-term memory hygiene and cross-session context.

PARA memory supports long-term knowledge management by never deleting facts. Instead of removal, it uses supersede updates and archiving to maintain both historical records and continuous accessibility across the knowledge graph.

The best way to structure personal knowledge using the PARA framework is by categorizing entries into projects, areas, resources, and archives. This ensures memories are persisted, easy to navigate, and aligned with your daily note-taking and cross-session recall needs.

Yes, you need YAML frontmatter containing name and description fields in SKILL.md to configure PARA memory files. Optional directories such as scripts/, references/, and assets/ can also extend functionality.
