SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Persistent, file-based memory organized by the PARA method to capture, retrieve, and synthesize knowledge across sessions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PARA knowledge graph with life/ entities containing summary.md and items.yaml for durable facts.
  • Daily notes stored in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md to capture raw timeline events.
  • Tacit knowledge about user preferences and patterns stored in MEMORY.md for quick recall.
  • Weekly synthesis and recall support via qmd queries to surface relevant context.

Quick Start

Create PARA-based memory folders under $AGENT_HOME and begin recording knowledge as life, memory, and tacit notes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I persist agent memory across sessions using a file system?

To persist agent memory across sessions, this Skill uses a file-based system with daily notes in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md and tacit knowledge in MEMORY.md, ensuring durable recall. It organizes knowledge using the PARA method for immediate retrieval.

What is the PARA method for personal knowledge management?

The PARA method for knowledge management organizes information into Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives. This Skill implements it by creating a knowledge graph with life/ entities containing summary.md and items.yaml for durable facts.

How do I set up a PARA-based memory folder structure?

To set up PARA-based memory folders, create directories under $AGENT_HOME. You will establish a three-layer model: life/ for the knowledge graph, memory/ for daily timeline notes, and MEMORY.md for tacit user preferences.

Can I use daily notes for weekly synthesis and recall?

Yes, daily notes support weekly synthesis and recall. Raw timeline events captured in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md are processed using qmd queries to surface relevant context and synthesize past events efficiently.

Does this memory management approach work without external dependencies?

Yes, this memory management approach works without external dependencies. It relies entirely on a local file-based system within $AGENT_HOME, using standard markdown and YAML files to store and retrieve knowledge.

When should I not use a file-based knowledge graph for memory?

You should not use a file-based knowledge graph if your agent requires real-time cross-session synchronization or operates in an environment without persistent local file storage. This PARA method depends on local file availability.
