Task progress tracking survives session resets by writing memory into persistent files. This approach uses a three-file pattern to store phases, research, and session logs, ensuring automatic recovery after context resets or /clear commands.

The best way to plan complex tasks is using a persistent working memory on disk with a three-file planning pattern. This organizes phases, research findings, and session logs to keep multi-step work accessible and aligned with the original goals.

Organize long-running sessions by converting short-term memory into persistent files using a three-file pattern. This enforces structured planning by separating task plans, ongoing research, and progress logs into distinct markdown files.

Starter templates are provided to initialize task planning files in real projects. They establish the required three-file pattern, ensuring your project has the correct markdown structure to begin tracking complex multi-step tasks immediately.

The planning pattern integrates with workflow task-management by providing scripts and templates that operate on standard markdown files. It structures existing processes without requiring external dependencies, keeping plans accessible on disk.
