planning-with-files

You can persist task planning context across long multi-tool sessions by writing structured markdown files like task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md to disk, ensuring continuity and session recovery.

Recovering planning state after an interruption involves re-reading persistent markdown planning files from your project root, which preserves phase tracking and decision logs across breaks or a cleared session.

Track complex multi-phase task progress using markdown templates by updating task_plan.md for goals, logging discoveries in findings.md, and recording milestones in progress.md to maintain a living plan.

No external dependencies are required to use file-based planning for task management, as the system relies entirely on standard markdown files and included init-session scripts with no external packages.

Yes, you can bootstrap planning files automatically for a new research project by running the included init-session scripts, which generate the required task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md templates in your project root.

Use on-disk markdown planning instead of session memory for multi-phase tasks and research projects requiring long runs, where losing context during extended tool-call sessions or interruptions would disrupt decision tracking.
