297 Migration 2b56cf16

Migration Guide: v1.x to v2.0.0

Overview

Version 2.0.0 adds hooks integration and enhanced templates while maintaining backward compatibility with existing workflows.

What's New

1. Hooks (Automatic Behaviors)

v2.0.0 adds Claude Code hooks that automate key Manus principles:

Benefit: You no longer need to manually remember to re-read your plan. The hook does it automatically.

2. Templates Directory

New templates provide structured starting points:

templates/
├── task_plan.md    # Phase tracking with status fields
├── findings.md     # Research storage with 2-action reminder
└── progress.md     # Session log with 5-question reboot test

3. Scripts Directory

Helper scripts for common operations:

scripts/
├── init-session.sh     # Creates all 3 planning files
└── check-complete.sh   # Verifies task completion

Migration Steps

Step 1: Update the Plugin

# If installed via marketplace
/plugin update planning-with-files

# If installed manually
cd .claude/plugins/planning-with-files
git pull origin master

Step 2: Existing Files Continue Working

Your existing task_plan.md files will continue to work. The hooks look for this file and gracefully handle its absence.

Step 3: Adopt New Templates (Optional)

To use the new structured templates, you can either:

1. Start fresh with ./scripts/init-session.sh
2. Copy templates from templates/ directory
3. Keep your existing format - it still works

Step 4: Update Phase Status Format (Recommended)

v2.0.0 templates use a more structured status format:

v1.x format:

- [x] Phase 1: Setup ✓
- [ ] Phase 2: Implementation (CURRENT)

v2.0.0 format:

### Phase 1: Setup
- **Status:** complete

### Phase 2: Implementation
- **Status:** in_progress

The new format enables the check-complete.sh script to automatically verify completion.

Breaking Changes

None. v2.0.0 is fully backward compatible.

If you prefer the v1.x behavior without hooks, use the legacy branch:

git checkout legacy

New Features to Adopt

The 2-Action Rule

After every 2 view/browser/search operations, save findings to files:

WebSearch → WebSearch → MUST Write findings.md

The 3-Strike Error Protocol

Structured error recovery:

1. Diagnose & Fix
2. Alternative Approach
3. Broader Rethink
4. Escalate to User

The 5-Question Reboot Test

Your planning files should answer:

1. Where am I? → Current phase
2. Where am I going? → Remaining phases
3. What's the goal? → Goal statement
4. What have I learned? → findings.md
5. What have I done? → progress.md
