Does this skill require the full AI Maestro platform?

No, this planning skill is designed to work as a standalone capability with no external dependencies, though it integrates seamlessly with the full AI Maestro suite.

What is the 3-File Pattern in AI Maestro?

It uses three specific markdown files—task_plan.md for goals/phases, findings.md for research, and progress.md for session logs—to maintain persistent context and prevent the AI from losing track of the mission.

When should I use the AI Maestro Planning skill?

Use this skill for any task involving 3 or more steps, research projects, or complex feature implementation where the AI might otherwise experience 'goal drift' or context loss.

How does the 3-Strike Protocol handle coding errors?

It follows a structured escalation: first try a targeted fix, then try a different approach entirely, and finally question basic assumptions before documenting everything for the user.

Productivity & Workflow

Manages persistent markdown planning files to maintain focus and track progress during complex, multi-step AI coding tasks.

AI Maestro Planning is a specialized framework for Claude Code designed to solve the execution problem by preventing goal drift during intricate projects. It implements a rigorous 3-File Pattern—consisting of task plans, findings, and progress logs—to ensure persistent context across long sessions. By enforcing structured rules like the 3-Strike error protocol and the 2-action research rule, it helps developers manage research projects and feature builds that require extensive tool usage without losing sight of the primary objective.
