From README

PARA Memory Files Persistent, file-based memory organized by Tiago Forte's PARA method. Three layers: a knowledge graph, daily notes, and tacit knowledge. All paths are relative to $AGENTHOME. Three Memory Layers Layer 1: Knowledge Graph ($AGENTHOME/life/ -- PARA) Entity-based storage. Each entity gets a folder with two tiers: summary.md -- quick context, load first. items.yaml -- atomic facts, load on demand. PARA rules: Projects -- active work with a goal or deadline. Move to archives when complete. Areas -- ongoing (people, companies, responsibilities). No end date. Resources -- reference material, topics of interest. Archives -- inactive items from any category. Fact rules: Save durable facts immediately to items.yaml. Weekly: rewrite summary.md from active facts. Never delete facts. Supersede instead (status: superseded, add supersededby). When an entity goes inactive, move its folder to $AGENTHOME/life/archives/.
