planning-with-files

Overview: Implement Manus-style file-based planning for complex tasks, creating task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. This skill is useful for starting complex multi-step tasks, research projects, or any task requiring >5 tool calls. Key Features:

• Creates task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md
• Automatic session recovery after /clear
• Persistent markdown files as working memory on disk
• Critical rules for planning, including creating a plan first, the 2-action rule, and logging all errors
• The 3-strike error protocol for handling failures

How It Works: This skill uses persistent markdown files to store planning information. It creates three files: task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. The user must create these files in their project directory. The skill also includes critical rules for planning, including creating a plan first, the 2-action rule, and logging all errors. Use Cases:

• Starting a complex multi-step task
• Research project planning
• Task requiring >5 tool calls
