What problem does it solve?

PARA Memory Files address long-term knowledge organization by structuring memory using the PARA method—allowing users to store, retrieve, and synthesize information across sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered memory: knowledge graph (life/), daily notes, and tacit knowledge to support recall and planning.
  • Persistent facts: create entities with summary.md and items.yaml for durable knowledge.
  • Weekly synthesis and memory decay: keep information fresh and retrievable.
  • Use cases: personal knowledge management, project planning, and long-term archival of key insights.

Quick Start

Place a new fact into the knowledge graph under life/projects and reference it in a daily note to begin persistent memory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize long-term memory and notes using the PARA method?

To organize long-term memory using the PARA method, you store durable facts and notes in a structured file system. This approach categorizes information into Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives to maintain knowledge graphs and persistent entities across sessions.

What is the best way to structure a knowledge graph for personal knowledge management?

Structuring a knowledge graph for personal knowledge management involves creating entities with YAML frontmatter and summary files. You layer daily notes, tacit knowledge, and timelines under directories like life/projects to support recall and weekly synthesis.

How do I archive outdated items and apply memory decay in a note-taking system?

To archive outdated items and apply memory decay in a note-taking system, you use forward-compatible decay rules and weekly synthesis routines. This process moves outdated entities to archives, ensuring stored knowledge remains fresh and retrievable over time.

Does this PARA-based memory system require specific dependencies or external tools?

No, this PARA-based memory system requires no external dependencies or tools to function. It relies entirely on a structured file system using YAML frontmatter schemas and markdown files to manage entities, daily notes, and knowledge graphs natively.

Can I use YAML frontmatter to manage entities and timelines for project planning?

Yes, you can use YAML frontmatter to manage entities and timelines for project planning. The system satisfies a structured YAML schema to define durable facts, outline timelines, and link project notes within your daily entries.

When should I use a layered memory model with daily notes and tacit knowledge?

You should use a layered memory model with daily notes and tacit knowledge when you need persistent recall and planning across multiple sessions. It is ideal for long-term archival of key insights and synthesizing project progress weekly.
