- Using a file system with markdown files and wikilinks as a graph database for a personal knowledge base.
- Organizing files with a PARA taxonomy (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives) extended for work (projects, areas, people, daily, meetings).
- Agents create meeting notes, link them to people and projects, and accumulate context over time for better LLM outputs.
- The system improves LLM performance by providing real historical project context instead of summaries.
- Challenges include automating inbox processing for consistent summarization and categorization.
- Starting with a basic folder structure and consistent note-taking can yield immediate benefits.
