Where does Claude save my notes?

By default, the skill manages notes in your local ~/ws/everything-monorepo/notes/ directory, ensuring your data stays private and accessible.

Can I define custom rules for my notes?

Yes, the skill is designed to check a local CLAUDE.md file within your notes directory for specific formatting and processing guidelines.

What is the PARA method used in this skill?

PARA is an organizational system consisting of four primary categories: Projects (active tasks), Areas (ongoing responsibilities), Resources (topics of interest), and Archives (inactive items).

What happens to new notes by default?

New notes are automatically placed in the +Inbox/ directory for later categorization unless you specify a target PARA location.

How does this improve my developer workflow?

It allows you to capture technical decisions, document bugs, and store snippets without leaving your coding environment, reducing context switching.
