What files does this skill create?

It creates three primary markdown files in your project root: task_plan.md for phase tracking, findings.md for research storage, and progress.md for session logging.

How does session recovery work?

The skill includes a session-catchup script that checks for unsynced context from previous sessions, allowing Claude to resume work seamlessly after a /clear command.

What is the 3-Strike Error Protocol?

It is a structured debugging framework: Attempt 1 focuses on diagnosis, Attempt 2 tries an alternative method, and Attempt 3 involves a broader rethink before escalating to the user.

When should I use Planning with Files?

Use this skill for any complex task requiring more than five tool calls, multi-step execution, or research projects where discovered information needs to persist.

Where are the planning files stored?

The templates and scripts are stored in the skill directory, but your specific planning files (task_plan.md, etc.) are always created in your active project directory.

生产力与工作流

Implements a persistent, file-based planning system to manage complex multi-step tasks and ensure context retention across sessions.

关于

Planning with Files is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to overcome context window limitations by using the filesystem as long-term 'working memory.' By enforcing the creation of dedicated tracking files like task_plan.md and findings.md, it helps Claude maintain focus during research-heavy or multi-step projects. This skill includes built-in session recovery to sync context after clearing terminal history, ensuring no progress or discovered information is lost during long development cycles.
