Planning with Files

Work like Manus: Use persistent markdown files as your "working memory on disk."

FIRST: Check for Previous Session (v2.2.0)

Before starting work, check for unsynced context from a previous session:

# Linux/macOS
$(command -v python3 || command -v python) ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/session-catchup.py "$(pwd)"

# Windows PowerShell
& (Get-Command python -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).Source "$env:USERPROFILE\.claude\skills\planning-with-files\scripts\session-catchup.py" (Get-Location)

If catchup report shows unsynced context:

Run git diff --stat to see actual code changes
Read current planning files
Update planning files based on catchup + git diff
Then proceed with task

Important: Where Files Go

Templates are in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/
Your planning files go in your project directory

Location	What Goes There
Skill directory (`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/`)	Templates, scripts, reference docs
Your project directory	`task_plan.md`, `findings.md`, `progress.md`

Quick Start

Before ANY complex task:

Create task_plan.md — Use templates/task_plan.md as reference
Create findings.md — Use templates/findings.md as reference
