Manus-style persistent markdown planning system for multi-step projects and long-running agent tasks; creates and manages task_plan.md, findings.md, and progres
Persistent, file-based planning patterns for AI agents. This skill prescribes a Manus-style workflow that stores plans, findings, and progress as markdown files on disk so agents can recover state after context loss or /clear. It includes scripts to initialize sessions, catch up on prior session state, and a safety-first execution model that treats file contents as data, not instructions.
Use for multi-step projects, research tasks, or any long-running work that requires more than 3 tool calls or sessions that may be interrupted. Ideal when you need deterministic recovery after context resets, shared on-disk state between agents, or a formal plan/progress/finding record.
Works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Copilot-style agents and other agent runtimes that support SKILL.md hooks and pretool/posttool hooks.
