para-second-brain

PARA Method Use this skill to help users organize and maintain a second brain using the PARA system (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives). Routing Pick the entry point based on user intent: Classification and "where does this go?" questions: read references/decision-trees.md Example requests and edge-case comparisons: read references/examples.md Operational process requests (inbox, review, setup, close-out, archive): read references/workflows.md Troubleshooting pain points and validation guidance: read references/common-problems.md If the request is broad or does not clearly match one route, default to references/decision-trees.md . Output Convention Classification guidance and Q&A: answer in chat Validation workflows: run scripts/validate.sh and write report output to PARA-validation-YYYY-MM-DD.md in the current working directory Installation location: out of scope for this skill; installation is handled by separate tooling Terminology Use "second brain" for the user's vault/folder structure Use "PARA system" only for the method/framework Validation Workflow When the user asks to validate structure or project health: Read references/common-problems.md for interpretation guidance. Run scripts/validate.sh (or omit path to use current directory). Save report output to PARA-validation-YYYY-MM-DD.md if user wants a file. Summarize critical findings and recommended next actions.
