SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Persistent, file-based memory organized by Tiago Forte's PARA method. It provides a three-layer structure (knowledge graph, daily notes, and tacit knowledge) to store, recall, and organize information across sessions. All paths are relative to $AGENT_HOME to keep data portable and consistent.

Core Features & Use Cases

Three memory layers: knowledge graph (entities → summary.md, items.yaml), daily notes, and tacit knowledge for lifelong context.
Durable facts management, weekly synthesis, recall, and planning using qmd for fast retrieval and synthesis.
Real-world workflows include persistent project contexts, task planning, and cross-session context retention.

Quick Start

Save a new durable fact to Layer 1 by adding an item to the appropriate YAML in life/ and then use qmd to recall it later.

FAQPage Schema

How do I organize personal knowledge using the PARA method for long-running projects?▼

Organize personal knowledge using the PARA method by structuring data into a three-layer memory system with a knowledge graph, daily notes, and tacit knowledge to maintain persistent project contexts across sessions.

What is a file-backed memory system for cross-session context retention?▼

A file-backed memory system stores structured personal knowledge using relative paths and YAML schemas, enabling rapid recall and weekly synthesis for durable facts management across different working sessions.

How do I store and recall durable facts in a knowledge graph?▼

Store durable facts by adding structured items to the appropriate YAML files within the knowledge graph layer, then use qmd tooling guidance to perform rapid recall and retrieve the specific information later.

Can I use daily notes and tacit knowledge for weekly synthesis and planning?▼

Daily notes and tacit knowledge can be used for weekly synthesis and planning by leveraging qmd tooling to aggregate ongoing duties and reference topics, enabling rapid context retention and task planning.

Does this PARA-based memory management system require external dependencies?▼

The PARA-based memory management system requires no external dependencies, relying entirely on relative paths to keep data portable and consistent for long-running projects and reference topics.

What is the best way to manage tacit knowledge and reference topics across sessions?▼

The best way to manage tacit knowledge and reference topics across sessions is using a three-layer PARA structure with explicit YAML schemas, enabling synthesis and rapid recall without losing ongoing project contexts.
