Idea Parking
Manage ideas that are interesting but not yet actionable. Parked ideas live in projects/commitments/parked-ideas/ and are periodically resurfaced by the digest.
Parking an idea
User says: "park this idea: do a comparison video of AWS vs GCP" or "save for later: investigate Rust WASM performance."
This skill is only successful if the parked idea is actually persisted.
Do not just acknowledge or summarize an idea.
Execution order is mandatory:
- Call
memory_write for projects/commitments/parked-ideas/<slug>.md
- Only then confirm what was parked
Never say an idea was "parked", "saved for later", or "resurfaced later"
unless the corresponding memory_write succeeded.
Action:
- Write to
projects/commitments/parked-ideas/<slug>.md:
---
type: parked-idea
parked_at: <today YYYY-MM-DD>
source: conversation
relevance: <high|medium|low — infer from user's enthusiasm>
tags: [<relevant tags>]
---
# <Idea title>
<Description and why it is interesting.>
## Activation trigger
<What would make this worth pursuing — a condition, event, or timeframe.>
- Confirm only after the write succeeds: "Parked: . I'll resurface it when the time seems right."
Listing parked ideas
User says: "show parked ideas" or "what's on the backburner?"
Action:
memory_tree("projects/commitments/parked-ideas/", depth=1) — list all files (skip README.md)memory_read each to get title and relevance- Display a brief list:
Parked ideas:
- **<title>** (parked <date>, relevance: <level>)
- **<title>** (parked <date>, relevance: <level>)
Promoting an idea
User says: "activate the comparison video idea" or "let's do the WASM performance investigation."
Action:
- Find the matching parked idea
- Create a commitment in
projects/commitments/open/ based on the idea content
- Overwrite the parked idea file with empty content
- Confirm: "Promoted to active commitment: ."
Dismissing an idea
User says: "dismiss the comparison video idea" or "drop that parked idea."
Action:
- Overwrite the file with empty content
- Confirm: "Dismissed: ."
