SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps manage and persist the planning state for complex, multi-step tasks by using a trio of files (task_plan.md, findings.md, progress.md) that live in your project directory.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persistent planning files: Keep your task plan, findings, and progress across sessions.
  • Phase-driven workflow: Break work into phases and track status with in-file updates.
  • Session recovery: Reopen and continue where you left off, with optional automatic recovery after resets.

Quick Start

Create the planning files and begin with Phase 1 in task_plan.md to start the planning workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track progress for multi-step tasks across different sessions?▼

Track multi-step tasks across sessions by writing state to persistent planning files like task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. This file-based system enforces phase statuses and logs errors to maintain continuity.

What is file-based session recovery for complex workflows?▼

File-based session recovery reopens and continues multi-step workstreams exactly where you left off. It reads your saved task_plan.md and progress.md files to automatically restore your planning state after resets.

How do I start a phase-driven planning workflow using markdown files?▼

Start a phase-driven planning workflow by creating the planning files in your project directory and beginning with Phase 1 in task_plan.md. The system then guides you through subsequent phases with in-file status updates.

Does this persistent planning system work without external dependencies?▼

Yes, this persistent planning system works without external dependencies. It relies entirely on scripts to manage your task plan, findings, and progress directly through markdown files on disk.

What's the best way to manage findings and error logs during long workstreams?▼

Manage findings and error logs during long workstreams by using a dedicated findings.md file and an enforced error log. This approach captures discoveries and issues alongside your main task plan.
