SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

PARA Memory Files provides a structured, durable memory system based on Tiago Forte's PARA method to organize knowledge, daily notes, and tacit knowledge, reducing cognitive load and improving recall.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered memory architecture: Knowledge Graph at $AGENT_HOME/life/, Daily Notes at $AGENT_HOME/memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md, and Tacit Knowledge at $AGENT_HOME/MEMORY.md.
  • Clear rules for creating entities, updating facts, and archiving inactive items; supports durable facts with versioning (status, superseded_by).
  • Use cases include personal knowledge management, project planning, and long-term learning to maintain context across sessions.

Quick Start

Create an entity by creating a folder under $AGENT_HOME/life/ with summary.md and items.yaml.

Frequently Asked Questions about para-memory-files

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How does the PARA method organize personal knowledge for fast recall?▼

The PARA method organizes personal knowledge into Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives to reduce cognitive load. This Skill implements it through a three-layer system: a Knowledge Graph for entities, Daily Notes for time-based entries, and a Tacit Knowledge file.

How do I create a knowledge entity in the memory graph?▼

To create a knowledge entity in the memory graph, create a folder under $AGENT_HOME/life/. Inside this folder, add a summary.md file for descriptions and an items.yaml file to track specific facts and attributes.

Can I permanently delete outdated facts from my personal knowledge base?▼

No, the system enforces a non-deletion rule to preserve context. Instead of deleting, outdated facts are updated using versioning rules that mark their status and link them to newer information via a superseded_by field.

What is the best way to manage daily notes for long-term learning?▼

The best way to manage daily notes is saving them as markdown files at $AGENT_HOME/memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md. This structures time-based entries and maintains context across sessions for long-term learning and project planning.

Does this personal knowledge system work for tracking tacit knowledge across projects?▼

Yes, it tracks tacit knowledge across projects by maintaining a dedicated file at $AGENT_HOME/MEMORY.md. This layer captures undocumented insights and integrates them with your broader Knowledge Graph and daily notes.

How does the three-layer memory lifecycle guideline improve knowledge management?▼

The three-layer lifecycle guideline improves knowledge management by defining clear rules for creating entities, updating facts, and archiving inactive items. This enforces structure across your Knowledge Graph, daily notes, and tacit knowledge.
