Will I lose my notes forever once they are archived?

No, the files are committed to Git before being removed from the working directory. You can easily retrieve them using the command 'git show :archive/ '.

Why does this skill delete files after archiving?

By committing files to Git and then deleting them from the working tree, the content is preserved in your repository's history but no longer 'pollutes' the active context or search results for AI agents.

How does it decide what to archive?

The skill defaults to untracked markdown files. It recommends archiving one-time analyses and session notes while suggesting you keep permanent files like README or ARCHITECTURE docs.

Does it support task management integration?

Yes, before archiving a file, the skill scans for actionable insights and automatically appends them to your TODO.md or detected task system so you don't lose track of next steps.

Productivity & Workflow

Streamlines your workspace by extracting insights from temporary markdown files and archiving them into Git history to reduce context noise.

The Archive Analysis skill is designed to prevent 'context pollution' for AI agents by managing one-time analysis files, session notes, and temporary drafts. It intelligently discovers untracked markdown files, extracts actionable insights into your task tracking system (like TODO.md), and moves files to a structured archive with chronological naming. By committing these files to Git and then removing them from the working tree, it ensures your project remains searchable and clean for AI agents while preserving a permanent historical record that can be retrieved at any time.
