Implements persistent file-based planning to enhance Claude's memory and task execution during complex workflows.
Planning with Files brings the 'Manus' philosophy to Claude Code, solving the limitation of volatile context windows by using the filesystem as persistent working memory. It automatically maintains structured markdown files—task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md—to track project phases, research discoveries, and error logs. This skill is essential for multi-step tasks, deep research, or any operation requiring more than five tool calls, ensuring Claude stays oriented and avoids repeating past failures through a structured 3-strike error protocol and robust session recovery capabilities.
Key Features

033-Strike Error Protocol to prevent repetitive failing actions
04Persistent 'Working Memory' using task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md
05Automatic session recovery and context re-syncing after clear commands
060 GitHub stars
Use Cases
01Managing complex, multi-step software refactoring or feature builds
02Conducting deep research tasks involving multiple web searches and data synthesis
03Ensuring continuity and state recovery across long-running AI sessions
