## What rad-para does, in the publisher's words

RAD PARA is an Agent Plugins 1.0.0 package that helps one person set up, review, and use a PARA-based note system with Codex. It can make suggestions and apply approved local file moves through a dry-run ledger. Sparse context can still lead to a wrong classification.

It is best suited to folders and Markdown notes that Codex can read. It can also give instructions for tools such as Notion, Obsidian, Apple Notes, or Google Drive, but this plugin does not connect to those services or change their data through an API.

PARA, CODE, Progressive Summarization, Intermediate Packets, and related second-brain methods in this plugin come from the work of Tiago Forte and Forte Labs. The 12 Favorite Problems exercise is inspired by Richard Feynman.
