How does the session recovery feature work?

The skill includes scripts that check for unsynced changes and help the AI catch up on state by reading planning files and git diffs after a session restart.

When should I use the planning-with-files skill?

Use it for any task requiring more than 5 tool calls, complex multi-file edits, or research tasks where data loss would be costly.

What is the 3-Strike Error Protocol?

It is a systematic strategy where the AI first diagnoses, then tries an alternative method, then rethinks the plan entirely before escalating to the user.

Where are my planning files stored?

Templates are kept in the skill directory, but your specific task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md files are stored directly in your project's root folder.

What is the benefit of file-based planning in Claude Code?

It provides a persistent 'disk-based memory' that survives context resets and keeps the AI focused on long-term goals without exceeding the context window.

生产力与工作流

Implements a persistent, file-based workflow to organize, track, and recover context for complex multi-step AI coding tasks.

This skill equips Claude with a robust 'working memory on disk' by automatically managing planning, findings, and progress files within your project directory. Inspired by the Manus workflow, it ensures that long-running or complex tasks—those requiring more than five tool calls—remain organized and contextually aware even across session resets or context clears. By enforcing strict rules like the 2-Action discovery save and a structured 3-Strike error protocol, it minimizes hallucinations and prevents repetitive failures during intensive development or research cycles.
