Planning With Files

Transforms workflow to use Manus-style persistent markdown files for planning, progress tracking, and knowledge storage. Use when starting complex tasks, multi-step projects, research tasks, or when the user mentions planning, organizing work, tracking progress, or wants structured output.

Planning with Files

Use persistent markdown files as working memory for complex tasks.

Quick Start

  1. Create task_plan.md before starting.
  2. Capture research in notes.md.
  3. Write the final output in a deliverable file.
  4. Update task_plan.md after each phase.

Guardrails

  • Don’t start complex work without a plan file.
  • Store large findings in files, not chat context.
  • Keep status and errors in task_plan.md.
