planning-with-files-de

planning-with-files-de is a file-based planning and task management skill designed to organize and track the progress of complex, multi-step work. It uses persistent Markdown files as a long-term working memory system, allowing users to maintain structured project plans across sessions. The skill creates and manages files such as task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md to document plans, discoveries, and execution progress. It is intended for situations where tasks require extensive planning, research, decomposition, or coordination involving many tool interactions. The system also supports automatic session recovery after context resets or /clear operations by restoring planning files and checking for unsynchronized work.

The skill includes automated workflow hooks that monitor and assist planning activities during execution. It detects active plans, injects plan context before tool usage, and reminds users to update progress tracking after file modifications. The workflow also includes recovery procedures that compare previous session state with repository changes using git diff, helping maintain continuity between sessions. Additional safeguards are provided during context compaction to ensure that progress and planning status remain synchronized and recoverable. Supported tools include Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, and Grep, enabling integrated file management and shell-based workflows.

This skill is useful for developers, researchers, technical teams, and advanced AI-assisted workflows that involve long-running or highly structured tasks. Typical use cases include project planning, breaking down large objectives, organizing research efforts, tracking implementation phases, and coordinating multi-step execution processes. It is particularly valuable for users who need persistent planning artifacts and reliable session restoration across extended work sessions.
