Planning With Files

Planning With Files

Implements Manus-style file-based planning to organize and track progress on complex tasks. Creates task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. Use when asked to plan out, break down, or organize a multi-step project, research task, or any work requiring >5 tool calls. Supports automatic session recovery after /clear.

Optimized workflow

This edition turns the source methodology into a repeatable agent workflow with explicit inputs, checkpoints and deliverables.

Quality standard

• Confirm scope and missing inputs before execution
• Ground decisions in available evidence and preserve source constraints
• Return an actionable result with assumptions, risks and next steps

Agent compatibility

The same core method is packaged for Claude, Codex, GPT, Gemini, Cursor and OpenCode.
