SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Persistent planning artifacts and a structured, on-disk workflow help teams organize and track complex tasks across sessions. It provides a Manus-style approach to break down work, maintain goals, and recover context after interruptions by using task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md as the external memory.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persistent planning artifacts: task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md act as the working memory, goals, and session logs.
  • Phase-based tracking: predefined phases with status, allowing clear progress visibility and recovery after sessions.
  • Context refresh and recovery: re-read the plan before decisions and support automatic session recovery.

Quick Start

Create task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md in your project root to begin outlining phases and tracking progress.

FAQPage Schema
How do I maintain task planning context across multiple sessions for a complex project?

Persistent planning artifacts like task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md serve as external memory to maintain goals and recover context across sessions for complex projects.

What is a markdown-driven workflow for breaking down complex multi-step tasks?

A markdown-driven workflow breaks down complex multi-step tasks by creating and maintaining task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md files to track phases, status, and session recovery.

How do I set up persistent plan files to track project progress and phases?

To set up persistent plan files, create task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md in your project root to begin outlining predefined phases, logging sessions, and tracking status.

Can I automatically recover context after an interruption using markdown planning files?

Yes, context recovery after interruptions is supported by re-reading the markdown planning files before decisions, allowing the workflow to automatically restore the previous session state.

Does this task planning workflow require any external dependencies or libraries?

No external dependencies or libraries are required to run this task planning workflow, as it relies entirely on markdown files and internal scripts to manage the planning lifecycle.

When should I use persistent planning files for project management instead of standard task lists?

Persistent planning files should be used for complex projects, research, or tasks requiring many tool interactions where standard task lists fail to maintain context across sessions.
