SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Complex tasks often lose track of goals as tool calls accumulate; this Skill keeps everything aligned by persisting planning artifacts to disk and providing a structured workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Creates and maintains planning artifacts: task_plan.md for phase tracking, findings.md for discoveries and decisions, and progress.md for session logging.
  • Supports multi-step tasks and research tasks requiring many tool calls; includes pre/post hooks to refresh context and enable recovery after interruptions.
  • Ideal for long-running projects and team planning, enabling automatic session recovery after resets and easy traceability.

Quick Start

Create task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md in your project directory and start Phase 1 to begin planning.

FAQPage Schema
How do I maintain context during long multi-step tasks without losing track of goals?

Persistent memory for multi-step tasks saves planning artifacts to disk as task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md files. These files provide structured phases and session recovery to keep everything aligned after interruptions or resets.

What is the best way to recover project planning state after an interruption?

Recovering project planning state involves using persistent memory files like task_plan.md and progress.md. Pre and post tool-use hooks refresh context from these files, enabling automatic session recovery after resets.

How do I start planning complex tasks with persistent task files?

To start planning complex tasks with persistent task files, create task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md in your project directory. Begin Phase 1 to track phases, log discoveries, and maintain structured records throughout the project lifecycle.

Does context engineering help with research tasks that require many tool calls?

Context engineering helps research tasks with many tool calls by persisting findings and progress to disk. Pre and post tool-use hooks refresh context, preventing loss of discoveries and decisions across long sessions.

Can I use persistent memory for team planning and traceability in long-running projects?

You can use persistent memory for team planning in long-running projects. Maintaining task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md files enables automatic session recovery and easy traceability for all team members.
