Core Features & Use Cases

  • Creates and maintains a phase-based plan in task_plan.md with progress tracking.
  • Stores research discoveries and decisions in findings.md for external memory.
  • Logs session activity and outcomes in progress.md to support session recovery and continuity.
  • Supports automatic session recovery after interruptions and /clear actions.

Frequently Asked Questions about planning-with-files

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I maintain task context and recover progress for multi-step projects after a session interruption?▼

Persistent planning tracks multi-step project context using task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. This enables automatic session recovery after interruptions or /clear actions by logging session activity and outcomes externally.

What is the best way to organize research findings and task plans for long-running workflows?▼

Organize long-running workflows by storing research discoveries and decisions in findings.md, while maintaining a phase-based plan in task_plan.md. This external memory approach ensures structured tracking across many tool calls.

How do I set up phase-based task management for complex research tasks?▼

Run the init-session script to create planning files, then start your phase-driven plan and update progress after each phase. This structures complex research tasks with templates and tooling hooks that update context before each decision.

When do I need persistent planning files for project management?▼

Persistent planning files are needed for multi-step projects, research tasks, and long-running efforts requiring 5+ tool calls. They ensure automatic session recovery and continuity when work spans many phases.

Does planning-with-files work with orjson for managing task memory?▼

Yes, this Skill uses orjson as a dependency to support persistent planning and task memory. It creates and maintains planning files to organize and track progress across multiple phases.

What are the limitations of using markdown files for complex task workflow tracking?▼

Markdown planning files require manual updates after each phase to maintain accurate progress tracking. While they support automatic session recovery, users must run the init-session script first to properly establish the file structure.
