para-skill
Organize Notes with PARA
Notes lose value when projects, responsibilities, and references mix together. This skill classifies Obsidian notes into PARA categories and proposes safe routing, metadata, reviews, and archiving.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Process an Inbox Backlog
Classify unprocessed notes, propose target folders, and mark uncertain items for review.
Maintain a Team Knowledge Vault
Review project notes, recurring responsibility areas, and reference material for consistent PARA placement.
Prepare Safe Archiving Decisions
Identify completed or inactive notes and generate cautious archive recommendations before any move occurs.
Try These Prompts
Classify this note using PARA. Explain the type, confidence level, supporting signals, and any missing information.
Review this note and suggest the correct PARA folder. Show the current path, proposed path, confidence, and required confirmation.
Suggest PARA frontmatter for this note. Only include fields you can justify, and do not overwrite unrelated metadata.
Run a PARA hygiene audit for this vault. Prioritize inbox backlog, project next steps, stale areas, archive candidates, and review items.
Best Practices
- Provide the current note path, title, frontmatter, and body when asking for classification.
- Keep the skill in cautious mode when reviewing a large vault or unfamiliar folder structure.
- Confirm any file move, archive action, or metadata update before applying changes.
Avoid
- Do not classify notes by topic alone without checking action relevance.
- Do not archive old notes only because they have not changed recently.
- Do not ask it to replace specialized Obsidian tools for links, formatting, or file moves.
