Planning with Files

This skill implements a persistent memory workflow using three markdown files. This allows you to handle complex, multi-step tasks without losing context or forgetting goals.

The 3-File Pattern

For any complex task, you must maintain these three files in the root of the project (or a specific plans/ directory if preferred by the user):

1. task_plan.md: The master plan. Tracks phases, specific tasks, and their completion status.
2. findings.md: The knowledge base. Stores lessons learned, decisions made, and technical details discovered.
3. progress.md: The session log. A chronological record of actions taken, results observed, and thoughts.

When to Use

• When the user asks for "planning with files".
• When starting a complex feature or refactoring.
• When the task requires multiple tool calls and steps.
• When you need to "remember" things for future sessions.
