PARA

Organize files and projects using the PARA method (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives).

PARA Organization Skill

Use the PARA method to keep the workspace clean and organized.

Structure

• /root/clawd/1-Projects/: Active efforts with a deadline/goal.
• /root/clawd/2-Areas/: Ongoing responsibilities (e.g., Finances, Health, Personal Development).
• /root/clawd/3-Resources/: Interests and reference material.
• /root/clawd/4-Archives/: Completed projects or inactive areas/resources.

Mandate: Automatic Organization

You MUST follow the PARA structure for ALL file operations. Never leave new files in the root directory (/root/clawd/) unless they are core identity files (AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md, etc.).

1. New Project Files? Create a subfolder in 1-Projects/.
2. Long-term reference or data? Put it in 3-Resources/.
3. Finished work? Move it to 4-Archives/.
4. System/Config updates? Keep them in 2-Areas/.

Workflow

1. Identify: Determine which category a file or directory belongs to.
2. Move: Use mv to place it in the correct PARA folder.
3. Maintain: Periodically review Projects and move finished ones to Archives.
