planning-with-files

You can manage complex tasks using markdown files by creating task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md to track goals, discoveries, and session logs, preventing information loss across multi-step projects.

The best way to recover context from interrupted sessions is using a file-based planning system that automatically checks for and reconciles unsynced context from previous progress logs.

To handle persistent errors during multi-step research, implement a strict 3-strike protocol for errors and log all failures in a dedicated markdown file for later analysis.

You need file-based planning for software engineering projects requiring more than a few tool calls, ensuring a clear execution path from initiation to completion through meticulous task tracking.

Yes, you can use markdown files for context engineering in complex research workflows by leveraging persistent files as external memory to structure task execution and manage detailed session logs.

To start a structured planning session, run the initialization script to generate the necessary planning markdown files in your current working directory, setting up the framework for task tracking.
