SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manus provides a filesystem-backed memory and planning pattern for long-running AI tasks, ensuring context is preserved across many tool interactions by persisting planning artifacts to disk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persistent on-disk memory for task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md to maintain state across sessions.
  • Phase-based planning and structured templates to guide multi-step work and enable session recovery.
  • Scripted automation (init-session, session-catchup, and utilities) to manage planning workflow and error handling.

Quick Start

Initialize planning files with the provided templates and start a new planning session to manage a multi-phase task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I persist task planning state across multiple AI agent sessions?

You can persist task planning state by writing planning artifacts like task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md to disk as a memory layer, ensuring context is preserved and recoverable across long-running agent sessions.

What is the best way to recover an interrupted multi-step planning task?

Recovering an interrupted multi-step planning task involves using script-based session recovery utilities like init-session and session-catchup to read persisted progress files and resume execution from the last completed phase.

How does filesystem-backed memory work for long-running research tasks?

Filesystem-backed memory for long-running research tasks works by continuously saving findings and phase-based plans to disk, creating a durable state record that prevents context loss during complex, multi-step iterative work.

Do I need specific templates to manage multi-phase task planning on disk?

Yes, managing multi-phase task planning on disk requires structured templates to initialize task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md files, which guides the workflow and enforces single-tool-per-turn execution constraints.

Why does my agent lose context during complex iterative project work?

An agent loses context during complex iterative project work because session state is held in memory only; persisting planning artifacts to disk as a memory layer prevents this loss across tool interactions.

Can I use scripts to automate planning workflow initialization and error handling?

Yes, you can use provided scripts like init-session and session-catchup to automate planning workflow initialization, manage session state recovery, and handle errors during long-running multi-step tasks.
