Can I customize the templates used for planning?

Yes, the skill uses markdown templates located in the skill directory which can be modified to fit specific project standards or personal organizational preferences.

When does this skill trigger automatically?

The skill is designed to auto-activate for complex tasks or those requiring more than five tool calls, but it can also be invoked manually using the /planning-with-files command.

Why should I use file-based planning instead of just talking to Claude?

Claude's context window is volatile like RAM. Writing your plan to files acts like a hard drive, ensuring that goals, research findings, and progress are never lost or 'forgotten' during long tasks.

What is the 3-strike error protocol?

It is a safety mechanism: Attempt 1 focuses on a direct fix, Attempt 2 tries an alternative approach or tool, and Attempt 3 requires a fundamental rethink before escalating to the user for guidance.

Where are the planning files stored?

Planning files (task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md) are created directly in your current project directory, ensuring they remain accessible alongside your source code.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Implements a persistent, file-based workflow for managing complex multi-step tasks and research projects within Claude Code.

This skill provides a robust framework for managing complex AI coding tasks by using the local filesystem as a persistent memory layer. By automatically creating and updating dedicated markdown files for plans, findings, and progress, it ensures that Claude maintains focus and retains critical information across long sessions. It is particularly effective for large-scale refactors, deep research, and projects requiring more than five tool calls, preventing context drift and repeating past failures through a structured 3-strike error protocol.
