What is the Manus-style planning approach?

It is a methodology that uses persistent Markdown files as 'external memory' for the AI, ensuring that project goals and discovered data are never lost or forgotten during complex tasks.

When should I use the planning-with-files skill?

This skill is recommended for any task requiring more than five tool calls, research-heavy projects, or complex builds that span multiple files and phases.

Where are the planning files stored?

Files like task_plan.md and findings.md are created directly in your current project directory, ensuring they live alongside your code and can be tracked via version control.

Can I invoke this skill manually?

Yes, while it can auto-activate for complex tasks, you can manually trigger the setup by using the /planning-with-files command.

How does the 3-Strike Error Protocol work?

It prevents the AI from repeating the same failing action. After three failures, the protocol forces the agent to rethink its entire approach or escalate to the user for guidance.

Productivity & Workflow

Implements a persistent, file-based memory system to manage complex multi-step tasks and research projects within Claude Code.

This skill provides a structured methodology for managing complex workflows by offloading Claude's working memory to persistent Markdown files in your project directory. By using task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md, the skill ensures that goals, research discoveries, and session logs remain available even as the conversation context window shifts. It enforces rigorous best practices like the '2-Action Rule' for data capture and a '3-Strike Error Protocol' to prevent repetitive failures, making it an essential tool for high-stakes engineering and deep research tasks.

Key Features

01Externalizes 'working memory' to disk to prevent context loss during long sessions

02Automated creation of task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md templates

03Strict '2-Action Rule' for immediate logging of web and multimodal research findings

040 GitHub stars

05Pre-tool execution hooks that automatically refresh Claude's attention on current goals

06Integrated 3-Strike Error Protocol to force strategy shifts after failures

Use Cases

01Conducting deep-dive research projects involving multiple web fetches and data points

02Executing complex, multi-step software engineering refactors or feature builds

03Managing long-running development sessions where maintaining state is critical
