para-review is a command for Claude Code from aroyburman-codes/para-second-brain. It costs 0 tokens per session (730 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided review command for a PARA system, the Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archive method of organizing work and knowledge. It checks statuses, ongoing responsibilities, references, and items ready to archive.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for weekly or monthly checks of projects, areas, resources, and archived items, including status updates and archiving completed work.
Why use it?
Work systems become inaccurate when finished projects remain active or responsibilities and notes are not reviewed. A scheduled review helps keep the information trustworthy.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

para-review scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

/para-review

Walk through your PARA system to update statuses, archive completed items, and capture new ones.

Usage

/para-review [weekly|monthly]
  • weekly (default): Quick 10-15 minute review of active items
  • monthly: Deeper review including strategic alignment and resource refresh

Steps

Find the PARA Root

Look for .para-config.json in:

  • Current working directory
  • ~/para/
  • Walk up from current directory

If not found, tell the user to run /para-setup first.

Weekly Review

Walk through each section interactively:

1. Projects Scan

  • List all items in Projects/ (exclude Archive)
  • For each project, read context.md and show: name, current phase, health, target date
  • Ask the user for each: "Still accurate? Update needed? Ready to archive?"
  • If the user wants to update, edit the context.md status fields
  • If ready to archive, move the folder to Archive/ using Bash(mv)

2. Areas Check

  • List all items in Areas/
  • For each area, read context.md and show: name, health status
  • Ask: "Standards being maintained? Needs attention?"
  • Update health status if needed

3. Resources Quick Scan

  • List all items in Resources/
  • Show name and last reviewed date from context.md
  • Flag any not reviewed in 3+ months
  • Ask if any should be archived

4. Capture Round

  • Ask: "Anything new to capture? New projects, areas, or resources?"
  • If yes, use the para-add workflow to create new items

5. Summary

  • Show a recap: items reviewed, items updated, items archived, items added
  • Add a log entry to each reviewed item's notes/log.md: - Weekly review: [status]

Monthly Review (adds to weekly)

Do everything in the weekly review, plus:

6. Strategic Alignment

  • Show all active projects and ask: "Are these still aligned with your goals?"
  • Ask: "Any projects that should be killed or paused?"
  • Ask: "Any new projects emerging from your areas or resources?"

7. Resource Deep Refresh

  • For each resource, show the full summary and key takeaways
  • Ask: "Still relevant? Needs updating? Archive?"
  • Update the "Last Reviewed" field to today's date for reviewed resources

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
