Description
para-memory-files is an agent skill from the Paperclip project that gives an agent a file-based memory system, organized by Tiago Forte's PARA method, to store, retrieve and organize durable knowledge across sessions. The memory has three layers. The first is a knowledge graph in an agent's life folder, in which each entity gets its own folder with two tiers: a summary.md file for quick context, which is loaded first, and an items.yaml file of atomic facts, which is loaded on demand. The second layer holds daily notes, and the third holds tacit knowledge. All paths are relative to a configured home folder, AGENT_HOME. The skill is triggered when the agent is asked to save facts, write daily notes, or record entity details, and when it needs to look up what it has stored before. Because the memory lives in plain files, the record can be read, edited and versioned by people as well as by the agent. The skill is listed on skills.sh, with its security audit results shown there. It suits agents that work over long periods or across many sessions and need to keep track of people, projects and facts without relying on a single conversation's context.…
