Why use file-based planning instead of just chat context?

Chat context is volatile and limited; files provide a persistent 'disk' memory that survives session clears and keeps Claude focused on long-term goals without forgetting earlier discoveries.

What is the 3-Strike Error Protocol?

It is a systematic approach to debugging: first diagnose and fix, then try an alternative method if that fails, and finally perform a broad rethink or search before asking the user for help.

How does the session recovery work?

The skill includes a catch-up script that compares your planning files against the current git diff to help Claude instantly understand what work has been completed and what remains.

Where are my planning files stored?

Planning files like task_plan.md and findings.md are stored in your project's root directory, ensuring they remain part of your codebase and version history.

When is it best to use this skill?

It is highly recommended for any task requiring more than five tool calls, research-heavy objectives, or building complex features across multiple files.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Implements persistent, Manus-style project planning and state management using markdown files for complex AI workflows.

This skill provides Claude with a structured 'working memory' on disk, allowing it to handle complex, multi-step tasks that exceed the reliable limits of a standard context window. By creating and maintaining dedicated files—task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md—Claude can track its own progress, document research discoveries, and follow a rigorous error-correction protocol. It includes automatic session recovery to pick up where it left off after context clears, making it indispensable for large-scale refactoring, deep research, and projects requiring dozens of tool calls.
