# 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 `$AGENT_HOME`.
## Three Memory Layers
### Layer 1: Knowledge Graph (`$AGENT_HOME/life/` -- PARA)
Entity-based storage. Each entity gets a folder with two tiers:
1. `summary.md` -- quick context, load first.
2. `items.yaml` -- atomic facts, load on demand.
```text
$AGENT_HOME/life/
projects/ # Active work with clear goals/deadlines
<name>/
summary.md
items.yaml
areas/ # Ongoing responsibilities, no end date
people/<name>/
companies/<name>/
resources/ # Reference material, topics of interest
<topic>/
archives/ # Inactive items from the other three
index.md
```
**PARA rules:**
- **Projects** -- active work with a goal or deadline. Move to archives when complete.
- **Areas** -- ongoing (people, companies, responsibilities). No end date.
- **Resources** -- reference material, topics of interest.
- **Archives** -- inactive items from any category.
**Fact rules:**
- Save durable facts immediately to `items.yaml`.
- Weekly: rewrite `summary.md` from active facts.
- Never delete facts. Supersede instead (`status: superseded`, add `superseded_by`).
- When an entity goes inactive, move its folder to `$AGENT_HOME/life/archives/`.
**When to create an entity:**
- Mentioned 3+ times, OR
- Direct relationship to the user (fam
