FAQPage Schema
How do I maintain project focus and track progress using markdown files?

Use markdown files to maintain project focus by creating task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md to store goals, log details, and track multi-phase task completion. This uses files as persistent working memory for complex research or multi-step projects.

When do I need file-based planning for complex task management?

File-based planning is needed for complex task management when a project requires more than 5 tool calls, involves multiple phases, or needs persistent tracking of goals and findings. It provides structured organization for multi-step research projects.

How do I start multi-phase project planning with markdown files?

Start multi-phase project planning by creating a task_plan.md file to outline your goals and phases. You will then use findings.md and progress.md to log key questions and track recovery protocols as you execute the project.

Does file-based planning support error tracking and recovery protocols?

File-based planning supports error tracking by logging errors and providing a 3-strike error protocol for recovery. This ensures you can systematically address and recover from failures during complex task execution.

What's the best way to organize project findings and goals in markdown?

The best way to organize project findings and goals in markdown is to distribute them across dedicated files: task_plan.md for goals, findings.md for discoveries, and progress.md for tracking. This separates planning from execution details.
