SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Memory organization and persistence across sessions using a PARA-based file system to manage knowledge.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three-layer memory model: a knowledge graph in life/ with summary.md and items.yaml, daily notes timeline, and tacit knowledge, plus planning files; recall via qmd and weekly syntheses.
  • Workflow support: save durable facts, update plans, perform weekly syntheses, and recall past context across sessions.
  • Real-world scenario: a researcher maintains projects, areas, and resources, writes daily notes, and periodically synthesizes weekly summaries for review.

Quick Start

Create a new memory entry by adding a folder under life/ with summary.md and items.yaml and then log today’s daily note in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize and persist memory across sessions using a PARA file system?

To persist memory across sessions using a PARA file system, organize durable facts into a three-layer architecture: a knowledge graph in life/, daily notes, and tacit knowledge, enabling recall via qmd and weekly syntheses.

What is the best way to manage daily notes and weekly syntheses for multiple projects?

Managing daily notes and weekly syntheses is handled by logging daily entries in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md and periodically synthesizing weekly summaries, allowing you to recall past context and update planning files across projects.

How does the three-layer memory model work for knowledge management?

The three-layer memory model works by combining a knowledge graph in life/ containing summary.md and items.yaml, a daily notes timeline, and tacit knowledge to capture durable facts and enable recall across sessions.

Can I use PARA-based knowledge management for long-running research workflows?

Yes, this PARA-based knowledge management applies to long-running workflows where a researcher maintains projects, areas, and resources, writes daily notes, and synthesizes weekly summaries for review.

How do I create a new memory entry in the PARA file structure?

To create a new memory entry in the PARA file structure, add a new folder under life/ containing summary.md and items.yaml, then log today's context in a daily note at memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md.
