Can I recover my progress after using the /clear command?

Yes, because the plan and progress are stored in local markdown files, Claude can re-read them to restore its state immediately after a context reset.

How does this skill help with context window limits?

By writing critical information to disk immediately, it prevents important data from being lost when the context window fills up or when a user clears the session.

What happens if Claude hits a repeating error?

The skill follows a 3-strike protocol: first diagnose and fix, then try an alternative approach, and finally perform a broader rethink before escalating to the user.

What is the Manus-style planning used in this skill?

It refers to using the filesystem as a persistent 'external hard drive' for the AI, storing goals, findings, and logs in markdown files to maintain focus and state during complex tasks.

When should I use the Planning with Files skill?

Use it for any project requiring more than three steps, deep research, or tasks that involve multiple tool calls and potential errors.

生产力与工作流

Implements persistent markdown-based task tracking and research logging to manage complex, multi-step Claude Code projects.

This skill provides Claude with a 'working memory on disk' by implementing a structured file-based planning system inspired by high-performance AI agents. By creating and maintaining dedicated markdown files for task phases, research findings, and session progress, it ensures continuity across context resets and prevents the loss of critical information during long-running tasks. It features a robust error-handling protocol and strict rules for documenting discoveries, making it indispensable for complex development, research, or any project requiring more than five sequential tool calls.
