Planning with Files

Manus-style persistent markdown planning. Filesystem = long-term memory. Context window = working RAM.

Core Principle

Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
Filesystem     = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
→ Anything important MUST be written to disk.

When to Use

• Multi-step tasks (3+ phases or 5+ tool calls)
• Research + implementation tasks
• Tasks that span multiple sessions
• Any task where goal-drift is a risk
