What files does this skill create in my project?

The skill manages three specific files in your project root: task_plan.md (for goals and phases), findings.md (for research and data), and progress.md (for session logging).

When should I use the Planning with Files skill?

It is best used for complex tasks involving more than five tool calls, building new projects from scratch, or any research-heavy technical investigation.

How does session recovery work after using /clear?

The skill includes a session-catchup script that analyzes existing planning files and git diffs to help Claude reconstruct its context and resume work exactly where it left off.

What is the 3-Strike Error Protocol?

It is a safety mechanism that prevents Claude from repeating the same failing action. After three failed attempts at a specific task, the model is forced to rethink its strategy or escalate to the user.

Productivity & Workflow

Implements a persistent, file-based memory system for managing complex engineering tasks and multi-step research projects.

This skill equips Claude with a structured 'working memory on disk' by maintaining synchronized markdown files—task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md—within your project directory. It is specifically designed for high-complexity operations requiring more than five tool calls, ensuring the model never loses track of objectives during long-running tasks or after session clears. By enforcing strict protocols like the '2-Action Rule' for saving findings and a '3-Strike Error Protocol' to prevent logic loops, it provides a robust framework for autonomous problem-solving and state recovery.

Key Features

012-Action Rule to capture transient research and multimodal data into text

023-Strike Error Protocol to prevent repetitive failing actions

03Persistent markdown-based state management (task_plan.md, findings.md, progress.md)

04Automatic session recovery and context catch-up after /clear or restarts

050 GitHub stars

06Hook-based plan visualization before major tool operations

Use Cases

01Executing large-scale code refactors that span multiple directories and stages

02Performing deep technical research where discoveries must be preserved across sessions

03Managing complex autonomous workflows that require state persistence and error tracking
