PARA Second Brain

by @halthelobster

Organize your agent's knowledge using PARA (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archive) — then make it ALL searchable. The symlink trick enables full semantic search across your entire knowledge base, not just MEMORY.md. Includes session transcript indexing and memory flush protocol. Your agent finally has a real second brain.
