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.).

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

Workflow

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