description: "Manus-style persistent file-based planning for AI coding agents: keeps task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md on disk so work survives context loss and /clear. Use when asked to plan out, break down, or organize a multi-step project, research task, or any work requiring 5+ tool calls. Supports automatic session recovery after /clear."

# Planning with Files
|
|
|
|
Work like Manus: Use persistent markdown files as your "working memory on disk."
|
|
|
|
## FIRST: Check for Previous Session (v2.2.0)
|
|
|
|
**Before starting work**, check for unsynced context from a previous session:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Linux/macOS (auto-detects python3 or python)
|
|
$(command -v python3 || command -v python) .codex/skills/planning-with-files/scripts/session-catchup.py "$(pwd)"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
# Windows PowerShell
|
|
python ".codex\skills\planning-with-files\scripts\session-catchup.py" (Get-Location)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If catchup report shows unsynced context:
|
|
1. Run `git diff --stat` to see actual code changes
|
|
2. Read current planning files
|
|
3. Update planning files based on catchup + git diff
|
|
4. Then proceed with task
|
|
|
|
## Important: Where Files Go
|
|
|
|
- **Templates** are in `.codex/skills/planning-with-files/templates/`
|
|
- **Your planning files** go in **your project directory**
|
|
|
|
| Location | What Goes There |
|
|
|----------|-----------------|
|
|
| Skill directory (`.codex/skills/planning-with-files/`) | Templates, scripts, reference docs |
|
|
| Your project directory | `task_plan.md`, `findings.md`, `progress.md` |
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
Before ANY complex task:
|
|
|
|
1. **Create `task_plan.md`** — Use [templates/task_plan.md](templates/task_plan.md) as reference
|
|
2. **Create `findings.md`** — Use [templates/findings.md](templates/findings.md) as reference
|
|
3. **Create `progress.md`** — Use [templates/progress.md](templates/progress.md) as reference
|
|
4. **Re-read plan before decisions** — Refreshes goals in attention window
|
|
5. **Update after each phase** — Mark complete, log errors
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** Planning files go in your project root, not the skill installation folder.
|
|
|
|
## The Core Pattern
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
|
|
Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
|
|
|
|
→ Anything important gets written to disk.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## File Purposes
|
|
|
|
| File | Purpose | When to Update |
|
|
|------|---------|----------------|
|
|
| `task_plan.md` | Phases, progress, decisions | After each phase |
|
|
| `findings.md` | Research, discoveries | After ANY discovery |
|
|
| `progress.md` | Session log, test results | Throughout session |
|
|
|
|
## Critical Rules
|
|
|
|
### 1. Create Plan First
|
|
Never start a complex task without `task_plan.md`. Non-negotiable.
|
|
|
|
### 2. The 2-Action Rule
|
|
> "After every 2 view/browser/search operations, IMMEDIATELY save key findings to text files."
|
|
|
|
This prevents visual/multimodal information from being lost.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Read Before Decide
|
|
Before major decisions, read the plan file. This keeps goals in your attention window.
|
|
|
|
### 4. Update After Act
|
|
After completing any phase:
|
|
- Mark phase status: `in_progress` → `complete`
|
|
- Log any errors encountered
|
|
- Note files created/modified
|
|
|
|
### 5. Log ALL Errors
|
|
Every error goes in the plan file. This builds knowledge and prevents repetition.
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
## Errors Encountered
|
|
| Error | Attempt | Resolution |
|
|
|-------|---------|------------|
|
|
| FileNotFoundError | 1 | Created default config |
|
|
| API timeout | 2 | Added retry logic |
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 6. Never Repeat Failures
|
|
```
|
|
if action_failed:
|
|
next_action != same_action
|
|
```
|
|
Track what you tried. Mutate the approach.
|
|
|
|
## The 3-Strike Error Protocol
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
ATTEMPT 1: Diagnose & Fix
|
|
→ Read error carefully
|
|
→ Identify root cause
|
|
→ Apply targeted fix
|
|
|
|
ATTEMPT 2: Alternative Approach
|
|
→ Same error? Try different method
|
|
→ Different tool? Different library?
|
|
→ NEVER repeat exact same failing action
|
|
|
|
ATTEMPT 3: Broader Rethink
|
|
→ Question assumptions
|
|
→ Search for solutions
|
|
→ Consider updating the plan
|
|
|
|
AFTER 3 FAILURES: Escalate to User
|
|
→ Explain what you tried
|
|
→ Share the specific error
|
|
→ Ask for guidance
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Read vs Write Decision Matrix
|
|
|
|
| Situation | Action | Reason |
|
|
|-----------|--------|--------|
|
|
| Just wrote a file | DON'T read | Content still in context |
|
|
| Viewed image/PDF | Write findings NOW | Multimodal → text before lost |
|
|
| Browser returned data | Write to file | Screenshots don't persist |
|
|
| Starting new phase | Read plan/findings | Re-orient if context stale |
|
|
| Error occurred | Read relevant file | Need current state to fix |
|
|
| Resuming after gap | Read all planning files | Recover state |
|
|
|
|
## The 5-Question Reboot Test
|
|
|
|
If you can answer these, your context management is solid:
|
|
|
|
| Question | Answer Source |
|
|
|----------|---------------|
|
|
| Where am I? | Current phase in task_plan.md |
|
|
| Where am I going? | Remaining phases |
|
|
| What's the goal? | Goal statement in plan |
|
|
| What have I learned? | findings.md |
|
|
| What have I done? | progress.md |
|
|
|
|
## When to Use This Pattern
|
|
|
|
**Use for:**
|
|
- Multi-step tasks (3+ steps)
|
|
- Research tasks
|
|
- Building/creating projects
|
|
- Tasks spanning many tool calls
|
|
- Anything requiring organization
|
|
|
|
**Skip for:**
|
|
- Simple questions
|
|
- Single-file edits
|
|
- Quick lookups
|
|
|
|
## Templates
|
|
|
|
Copy these templates to start:
|
|
|
|
- [templates/task_plan.md](templates/task_plan.md) — Phase tracking
|
|
- [templates/findings.md](templates/findings.md) — Research storage
|
|
- [templates/progress.md](templates/progress.md) — Session logging
|
|
|
|
## Scripts
|
|
|
|
Helper scripts for automation:
|
|
|
|
- `scripts/init-session.sh` — Initialize all planning files
|
|
- `scripts/check-complete.sh` — Verify all phases complete
|
|
- `scripts/session-catchup.py` — Recover context from previous session (v2.2.0)
|
|
|
|
## Advanced Topics
|
|
|
|
- **Manus Principles:** See [references/reference.md](references/reference.md)
|
|
- **Real Examples:** See [references/examples.md](references/examples.md)
|
|
|
|
## Anti-Patterns
|
|
|
|
| Don't | Do Instead |
|
|
|-------|------------|
|
|
| Use TodoWrite for persistence | Create task_plan.md file |
|
|
| State goals once and forget | Re-read plan before decisions |
|
|
| Hide errors and retry silently | Log errors to plan file |
|
|
| Stuff everything in context | Store large content in files |
|
|
| Start executing immediately | Create plan file FIRST |
|
|
| Repeat failed actions | Track attempts, mutate approach |
|
|
| Create files in skill directory | Create files in your project |
|
