planning-with-files

You can persist project planning artifacts across sessions by creating three Markdown files at the project root: task_plan.md for goals, findings.md for research notes, and progress.md for activity logs. This ensures context is saved when pausing and resuming work.

Maintaining project planning documentation requires re-reading your task_plan.md before coding, logging updates in progress.md, and iterating findings.md. This simple workflow ensures alignment and traceability for cross-session workflows where teams pause and resume tasks.

Your AI loses context for multi-step work because planning artifacts are not persisted. By creating and updating task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md at the project root, you capture goals, research, and activity logs to restore context when resuming.

You do not need a specific task-management tool to track cross-session workflows. You can use standard Markdown files at the project root to store goals, research notes, and activity logs, providing a simple workflow to re-read the plan before coding.

Yes, you can use Markdown for project planning in long-running projects by creating task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md at the project root. These files capture goals, research notes, and activity logs to support updating and reviewing the plan across sessions.
