Planning with Files FAQs

Question 1

What is the '3-Strike Error Protocol'?

Accepted Answer

It is a built-in logic pattern where Claude first diagnoses a fix, then tries an alternative approach, and finally performs a broader rethink. If all three fail, it escalates to the user with a detailed report to prevent infinite loops.

Question 2

How does the session recovery feature work?

Accepted Answer

The skill includes a 'session-catchup' script that scans your project directory for existing planning files and git diffs, allowing Claude to resume work with full context after a restart or a /clear command.

Question 3

What is the benefit of file-based planning over the standard context window?

Accepted Answer

While the context window acts like volatile RAM, files act as persistent disk storage. This allows Claude to track long-term goals and research findings even if the context window is cleared or becomes saturated.

Question 4

Is this skill suitable for simple, single-file edits?

Accepted Answer

No, it is designed for complexity. You should skip this pattern for simple questions or quick lookups and use it specifically for multi-step tasks requiring organization.

Question 5

Which specific files does this skill create in my project?

Accepted Answer

It implements three core files: task_plan.md (for phases and decisions), findings.md (for research and discoveries), and progress.md (for session logs and test results).
