+name: planning-with-files
+description: Implements Manus-style file-based planning for complex tasks. Creates task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. Use when starting complex multi-step tasks, research projects, or any task requiring >5 tool calls.
+license: MIT
+---
+
+# Planning with Files
+
+Work like Manus: Use persistent markdown files as your "working memory on disk."
+
+## Core Principle
+
+```
+Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
+Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
+
+→ Anything important gets written to disk.
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Before ANY complex task, create these three files:
+
+1. **task_plan.md** — Track phases and progress
+2. **findings.md** — Store research and discoveries
+3. **progress.md** — Session log and test results
+
+See references/ for starting templates.
+
+## File Purposes
+
+| File | Purpose | When to Update |
+|------|---------|----------------|
+| `task_plan.md` | Phases, progress, decisions | After each phase |
+| `findings.md` | Research, discoveries | After ANY discovery |
+| `progress.md` | Session log, test results | Throughout session |
+
+## Critical Rules
+
+### 1. Create Plan First
+Never start a complex task without `task_plan.md`. Non-negotiable.
+
+### 2. The 2-Action Rule
+> "After every 2 view/browser/search operations, IMMEDIATELY save key findings to text files."
+
+This prevents visual/multimodal information from being lost.
+
+### 3. Read Before Decide
+Before major decisions, read the plan file. This keeps goals in your attention window.
+
+### 4. Update After Act
+After completing any phase:
+- Mark phase status: `in_progress` → `complete`
+- Log any errors encountered
+- Note files created/modified
+
+### 5. Log ALL Errors
+Every error goes in the plan file. This builds knowledge and prevents repetition.
+
+### 6. Never Repeat Failures
+```
+if action_failed:
+    next_action != same_action
+```
+Track what you tried. Mutate the approach.
+
+## The 3-Strike Error Protocol
+
+```
+ATTEMPT 1: Diagnose & Fix
+  → Read error carefully
+  → Identify root cause
+  → Apply targeted fix
+
+ATTEMPT 2: Alternative Approach
+  → Same error? Try different method
+  → Different tool? Different library?
+  → NEVER repeat exact same failing action
+
+ATTEMPT 3: Broader Rethink
+  → Question assumptions
+  → Search for solutions
+  → Consider updating the plan
+
+AFTER 3 FAILURES: Escalate to User
+  → Explain what you tried
+  → Share the specific error
+  → Ask for guidance
+```
+
+## When to Use This Pattern
+
+**Use for:**
+- Multi-step tasks (3+ steps)
+- Research tasks
+- Building/creating projects
+- Tasks spanning many tool calls
+
+**Skip for:**
+- Simple questions
+- Single-file edits
+- Quick lookups
+
+## Templates
+
+- references/task_plan.md — Phase tracking template
+- references/findings.md — Research storage template
+- references/progress.md — Session logging template
+
+## Advanced Topics
+
+- **Manus Principles:** See references.md for complete context engineering patterns
+- **Real Examples:** See examples.md for practical implementations
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+| Don't | Do Instead |
+|-------|------------|
+| State goals once and forget | Re-read plan before decisions |
+| Hide errors and retry silently | Log errors to plan file |
+| Stuff everything in context | Store large content in files |
+| Start executing immediately | Create plan file FIRST |
+| Repeat failed actions | Track attempts, mutate approach |
+
+---
+
+**This pattern is why Manus went from launch to $2B acquisition in 8 months.**

+# Examples: Planning with Files in Action
+
+## Example 1: Research Task
+
+**User Request:** "Research the benefits of morning exercise and write a summary"
+
+### Loop 1: Create Plan
+```bash
+Write task_plan.md
+```
+
+```markdown
+# Task Plan: Morning Exercise Benefits Research
+
+## Goal
+Create a research summary on the benefits of morning exercise.
+
+## Phases
+- [ ] Phase 1: Create this plan ✓
+- [ ] Phase 2: Search and gather sources
+- [ ] Phase 3: Synthesize findings
+- [ ] Phase 4: Deliver summary
+
+## Key Questions
+1. What are the physical health benefits?
+2. What are the mental health benefits?
+3. What scientific studies support this?
+
+## Status
+**Currently in Phase 1** - Creating plan
+```
+
+### Loop 2: Research
+```bash
+Read task_plan.md           # Refresh goals
+WebSearch "morning exercise benefits"
+Write notes.md              # Store findings
+Edit task_plan.md           # Mark Phase 2 complete
+```
+
+### Loop 3: Synthesize
+```bash
+Read task_plan.md           # Refresh goals
+Read notes.md               # Get findings
+Write morning_exercise_summary.md
+Edit task_plan.md           # Mark Phase 3 complete
+```
+
+### Loop 4: Deliver
+```bash
+Read task_plan.md           # Verify complete
+Deliver morning_exercise_summary.md
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example 2: Bug Fix Task
+
+**User Request:** "Fix the login bug in the authentication module"
+
+### task_plan.md
+```markdown
+# Task Plan: Fix Login Bug
+
+## Goal
+Identify and fix the bug preventing successful login.
+
+## Phases
+- [x] Phase 1: Understand the bug report ✓
+- [x] Phase 2: Locate relevant code ✓
+- [ ] Phase 3: Identify root cause (CURRENT)
+- [ ] Phase 4: Implement fix
+- [ ] Phase 5: Test and verify
+
+## Key Questions
+1. What error message appears?
+2. Which file handles authentication?
+3. What changed recently?
+
+## Decisions Made
+- Auth handler is in src/auth/login.ts
+- Error occurs in validateToken() function
+
+## Errors Encountered
+- [Initial] TypeError: Cannot read property 'token' of undefined
+  → Root cause: user object not awaited properly
+
+## Status
+**Currently in Phase 3** - Found root cause, preparing fix
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example 3: Feature Development
+
+**User Request:** "Add a dark mode toggle to the settings page"
+
+### The 3-File Pattern in Action
+
+**task_plan.md:**
+```markdown
+# Task Plan: Dark Mode Toggle
+
+## Goal
+Add functional dark mode toggle to settings.
+
+## Phases
+- [x] Phase 1: Research existing theme system ✓
+- [x] Phase 2: Design implementation approach ✓
+- [ ] Phase 3: Implement toggle component (CURRENT)
+- [ ] Phase 4: Add theme switching logic
+- [ ] Phase 5: Test and polish
+
+## Decisions Made
+- Using CSS custom properties for theme
+- Storing preference in localStorage
+- Toggle component in SettingsPage.tsx
+
+## Status
+**Currently in Phase 3** - Building toggle component
+```
+
+**notes.md:**
+```markdown
+# Notes: Dark Mode Implementation
+
+## Existing Theme System
+- Located in: src/styles/theme.ts
+- Uses: CSS custom properties
+- Current themes: light only
+
+## Files to Modify
+1. src/styles/theme.ts - Add dark theme colors
+2. src/components/SettingsPage.tsx - Add toggle
+3. src/hooks/useTheme.ts - Create new hook
+4. src/App.tsx - Wrap with ThemeProvider
+
+## Color Decisions
+- Dark background: #1a1a2e
+- Dark surface: #16213e
+- Dark text: #eaeaea
+```
+
+**dark_mode_implementation.md:** (deliverable)
+```markdown
+# Dark Mode Implementation
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Added dark theme colors
+File: src/styles/theme.ts
+...
+
+### 2. Created useTheme hook
+File: src/hooks/useTheme.ts
+...
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example 4: Error Recovery Pattern
+
+When something fails, DON'T hide it:
+
+### Before (Wrong)
+```
+Action: Read config.json
+Error: File not found
+Action: Read config.json  # Silent retry
+Action: Read config.json  # Another retry
+```
+
+### After (Correct)
+```
+Action: Read config.json
+Error: File not found
+
+# Update task_plan.md:
+## Errors Encountered
+- config.json not found → Will create default config
+
+Action: Write config.json (default config)
+Action: Read config.json
+Success!
+```
+
+---
+
+## The Read-Before-Decide Pattern
+
+**Always read your plan before major decisions:**
+
+```
+[Many tool calls have happened...]
+[Context is getting long...]
+[Original goal might be forgotten...]
+
+→ Read task_plan.md          # This brings goals back into attention!
+→ Now make the decision       # Goals are fresh in context
+```
+
+This is why Manus can handle ~50 tool calls without losing track. The plan file acts as a "goal refresh" mechanism.

+# Reference: Manus Context Engineering Principles
+
+This skill is based on context engineering principles from Manus, the AI agent company acquired by Meta for $2 billion in December 2025.
+
+## The 6 Manus Principles
+
+### Principle 1: Design Around KV-Cache
+
+> "KV-cache hit rate is THE single most important metric for production AI agents."
+
+**Statistics:**
+- ~100:1 input-to-output token ratio
+- Cached tokens: $0.30/MTok vs Uncached: $3/MTok
+- 10x cost difference!
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Keep prompt prefixes STABLE (single-token change invalidates cache)
+- NO timestamps in system prompts
+- Make context APPEND-ONLY with deterministic serialization
+
+### Principle 2: Mask, Don't Remove
+
+Don't dynamically remove tools (breaks KV-cache). Use logit masking instead.
+
+**Best Practice:** Use consistent action prefixes (e.g., `browser_`, `shell_`, `file_`) for easier masking.
+
+### Principle 3: Filesystem as External Memory
+
+> "Markdown is my 'working memory' on disk."
+
+**The Formula:**
+```
+Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
+Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
+```
+
+**Compression Must Be Restorable:**
+- Keep URLs even if web content is dropped
+- Keep file paths when dropping document contents
+- Never lose the pointer to full data
+
+### Principle 4: Manipulate Attention Through Recitation
+
+> "Creates and updates todo.md throughout tasks to push global plan into model's recent attention span."
+
+**Problem:** After ~50 tool calls, models forget original goals ("lost in the middle" effect).
+
+**Solution:** Re-read `task_plan.md` before each decision. Goals appear in the attention window.
+
+```
+Start of context: [Original goal - far away, forgotten]
+...many tool calls...
+End of context: [Recently read task_plan.md - gets ATTENTION!]
+```
+
+### Principle 5: Keep the Wrong Stuff In
+
+> "Leave the wrong turns in the context."
+
+**Why:**
+- Failed actions with stack traces let model implicitly update beliefs
+- Reduces mistake repetition
+- Error recovery is "one of the clearest signals of TRUE agentic behavior"
+
+### Principle 6: Don't Get Few-Shotted
+
+> "Uniformity breeds fragility."
+
+**Problem:** Repetitive action-observation pairs cause drift and hallucination.
+
+**Solution:** Introduce controlled variation:
+- Vary phrasings slightly
+- Don't copy-paste patterns blindly
+- Recalibrate on repetitive tasks
+
+---
+
+## The 3 Context Engineering Strategies
+
+Based on Lance Martin's analysis of Manus architecture.
+
+### Strategy 1: Context Reduction
+
+**Compaction:**
+```
+Tool calls have TWO representations:
+├── FULL: Raw tool content (stored in filesystem)
+└── COMPACT: Reference/file path only
+
+RULES:
+- Apply compaction to STALE (older) tool results
+- Keep RECENT results FULL (to guide next decision)
+```
+
+**Summarization:**
+- Applied when compaction reaches diminishing returns
+- Generated using full tool results
+- Creates standardized summary objects
+
+### Strategy 2: Context Isolation (Multi-Agent)
+
+**Architecture:**
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────┐
+│         PLANNER AGENT           │
+│  └─ Assigns tasks to sub-agents │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│       KNOWLEDGE MANAGER         │
+│  └─ Reviews conversations       │
+│  └─ Determines filesystem store │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│      EXECUTOR SUB-AGENTS        │
+│  └─ Perform assigned tasks      │
+│  └─ Have own context windows    │
+└─────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Key Insight:** Manus originally used `todo.md` for task planning but found ~33% of actions were spent updating it. Shifted to dedicated planner agent calling executor sub-agents.
+
+### Strategy 3: Context Offloading
+
+**Tool Design:**
+- Use <20 atomic functions total
+- Store full results in filesystem, not context
+- Use `glob` and `grep` for searching
+- Progressive disclosure: load information only as needed
+
+---
+
+## The Agent Loop
+
+Manus operates in a continuous 7-step loop:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  1. ANALYZE CONTEXT                      │
+│     - Understand user intent             │
+│     - Assess current state               │
+│     - Review recent observations         │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  2. THINK                                │
+│     - Should I update the plan?          │
+│     - What's the next logical action?    │
+│     - Are there blockers?                │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  3. SELECT TOOL                          │
+│     - Choose ONE tool                    │
+│     - Ensure parameters available        │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  4. EXECUTE ACTION                       │
+│     - Tool runs in sandbox               │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  5. RECEIVE OBSERVATION                  │
+│     - Result appended to context         │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  6. ITERATE                              │
+│     - Return to step 1                   │
+│     - Continue until complete            │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  7. DELIVER OUTCOME                      │
+│     - Send results to user               │
+│     - Attach all relevant files          │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

+## File Types Manus Creates
+
+| File | Purpose | When Created | When Updated |
+|------|---------|--------------|--------------|
+| `task_plan.md` | Phase tracking, progress | Task start | After completing phases |
+| `findings.md` | Discoveries, decisions | After ANY discovery | After viewing images/PDFs |
+| `progress.md` | Session log, what's done | At breakpoints | Throughout session |
+| Code files | Implementation | Before execution | After errors |
+
+---
+
+## Critical Constraints
+
+- **Single-Action Execution:** ONE tool call per turn. No parallel execution.
+- **Plan is Required:** Agent must ALWAYS know: goal, current phase, remaining phases
+- **Files are Memory:** Context = volatile. Filesystem = persistent.
+- **Never Repeat Failures:** If action failed, next action MUST be different
+- **Communication is a Tool:** Message types: `info` (progress), `ask` (blocking), `result` (terminal)
+
+---
+
+## Manus Statistics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Average tool calls per task | ~50 |
+| Input-to-output token ratio | 100:1 |
+| Acquisition price | $2 billion |
+| Time to $100M revenue | 8 months |
+| Framework refactors since launch | 5 times |

+# Findings & Decisions
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Your knowledge base for the task. Stores everything you discover and decide.
+  WHY: Context windows are limited. This file is your "external memory" - persistent and unlimited.
+  WHEN: Update after ANY discovery, especially after 2 view/browser/search operations (2-Action Rule).
+-->
+
+## Requirements
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: What the user asked for, broken down into specific requirements.
+  WHY: Keeps requirements visible so you don't forget what you're building.
+  WHEN: Fill this in during Phase 1 (Requirements & Discovery).
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Command-line interface
+    - Add tasks
+    - List all tasks
+    - Delete tasks
+    - Python implementation
+-->
+<!-- Captured from user request -->
+-
+
+## Research Findings
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Key discoveries from web searches, documentation reading, or exploration.
+  WHY: Multimodal content (images, browser results) doesn't persist. Write it down immediately.
+  WHEN: After EVERY 2 view/browser/search operations, update this section (2-Action Rule).
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Python's argparse module supports subcommands for clean CLI design
+    - JSON module handles file persistence easily
+    - Standard pattern: python script.py <command> [args]
+-->
+<!-- Key discoveries during exploration -->
+-
+
+## Technical Decisions
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Architecture and implementation choices you've made, with reasoning.
+  WHY: You'll forget why you chose a technology or approach. This table preserves that knowledge.
+  WHEN: Update whenever you make a significant technical choice.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    | Use JSON for storage | Simple, human-readable, built-in Python support |
+    | argparse with subcommands | Clean CLI: python todo.py add "task" |
+-->
+<!-- Decisions made with rationale -->
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+|          |           |
+
+## Issues Encountered
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Problems you ran into and how you solved them.
+  WHY: Similar to errors in task_plan.md, but focused on broader issues (not just code errors).
+  WHEN: Document when you encounter blockers or unexpected challenges.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    | Empty file causes JSONDecodeError | Added explicit empty file check before json.load() |
+-->
+<!-- Errors and how they were resolved -->
+| Issue | Resolution |
+|-------|------------|
+|       |            |
+
+## Resources
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: URLs, file paths, API references, documentation links you've found useful.
+  WHY: Easy reference for later. Don't lose important links in context.
+  WHEN: Add as you discover useful resources.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Python argparse docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html
+    - Project structure: src/main.py, src/utils.py
+-->
+<!-- URLs, file paths, API references -->
+-
+
+## Visual/Browser Findings
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Information you learned from viewing images, PDFs, or browser results.
+  WHY: CRITICAL - Visual/multimodal content doesn't persist in context. Must be captured as text.
+  WHEN: IMMEDIATELY after viewing images or browser results. Don't wait!
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Screenshot shows login form has email and password fields
+    - Browser shows API returns JSON with "status" and "data" keys

+
+# 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:
+
+```bash
+python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/session-catchup.py "$(pwd)"
+```
+
+If catchup report shows unsynced context:
+1. Run `git diff --stat` to see actual code changes
+2. Read current planning files
+3. Update planning files based on catchup + git diff
+4. 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:
+
+1. **Create `task_plan.md`** — Use [templates/task_plan.md](templates/task_plan.md) as reference
+2. **Create `findings.md`** — Use [templates/findings.md](templates/findings.md) as reference
+3. **Create `progress.md`** — Use [templates/progress.md](templates/progress.md) as reference
+4. **Re-read plan before decisions** — Refreshes goals in attention window
+5. **Update after each phase** — Mark complete, log errors
+
+> **Note:** Planning files go in your project root, not the skill installation folder.
+
+## The Core Pattern
+
+```
+Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
+Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
+
+→ Anything important gets written to disk.
+```
+
+## File Purposes
+
+| File | Purpose | When to Update |
+|------|---------|----------------|
+| `task_plan.md` | Phases, progress, decisions | After each phase |
+| `findings.md` | Research, discoveries | After ANY discovery |
+| `progress.md` | Session log, test results | Throughout session |
+
+## Critical Rules
+
+### 1. Create Plan First
+Never start a complex task without `task_plan.md`. Non-negotiable.
+
+### 2. The 2-Action Rule
+> "After every 2 view/browser/search operations, IMMEDIATELY save key findings to text files."
+
+This prevents visual/multimodal information from being lost.
+
+### 3. Read Before Decide
+Before major decisions, read the plan file. This keeps goals in your attention window.
+
+### 4. Update After Act
+After completing any phase:
+- Mark phase status: `in_progress` → `complete`
+- Log any errors encountered
+- Note files created/modified
+
+### 5. Log ALL Errors
+Every error goes in the plan file. This builds knowledge and prevents repetition.
+
+```markdown
+## Errors Encountered
+| Error | Attempt | Resolution |
+|-------|---------|------------|
+| FileNotFoundError | 1 | Created default config |
+| API timeout | 2 | Added retry logic |
+```
+
+### 6. Never Repeat Failures
+```
+if action_failed:
+    next_action != same_action
+```
+Track what you tried. Mutate the approach.
+
+## The 3-Strike Error Protocol
+
+```
+ATTEMPT 1: Diagnose & Fix
+  → Read error carefully
+  → Identify root cause
+  → Apply targeted fix
+
+ATTEMPT 2: Alternative Approach
+  → Same error? Try different method
+  → Different tool? Different library?
+  → NEVER repeat exact same failing action
+
+ATTEMPT 3: Broader Rethink
+  → Question assumptions
+  → Search for solutions
+  → Consider updating the plan
+
+AFTER 3 FAILURES: Escalate to User
+  → Explain what you tried
+  → Share the specific error
+  → Ask for guidance
+```
+
+## Read vs Write Decision Matrix
+
+| Situation | Action | Reason |
+|-----------|--------|--------|
+| Just wrote a file | DON'T read | Content still in context |
+| Viewed image/PDF | Write findings NOW | Multimodal → text before lost |
+| Browser returned data | Write to file | Screenshots don't persist |
+| Starting new phase | Read plan/findings | Re-orient if context stale |
+| Error occurred | Read relevant file | Need current state to fix |
+| Resuming after gap | Read all planning files | Recover state |
+
+## The 5-Question Reboot Test
+
+If you can answer these, your context management is solid:
+
+| Question | Answer Source |
+|----------|---------------|
+| Where am I? | Current phase in task_plan.md |
+| Where am I going? | Remaining phases |
+| What's the goal? | Goal statement in plan |
+| What have I learned? | findings.md |
+| What have I done? | progress.md |
+
+## When to Use This Pattern
+
+**Use for:**
+- Multi-step tasks (3+ steps)
+- Research tasks
+- Building/creating projects
+- Tasks spanning many tool calls
+- Anything requiring organization
+
+**Skip for:**
+- Simple questions
+- Single-file edits
+- Quick lookups
+
+## Templates
+
+Copy these templates to start:
+
+- [templates/task_plan.md](templates/task_plan.md) — Phase tracking
+- [templates/findings.md](templates/findings.md) — Research storage
+- [templates/progress.md](templates/progress.md) — Session logging
+
+## Scripts
+
+Helper scripts for automation:
+
+- `scripts/init-session.sh` — Initialize all planning files
+- `scripts/check-complete.sh` — Verify all phases complete
+- `scripts/session-catchup.py` — Recover context from previous session (v2.2.0)
+
+## Advanced Topics
+
+- **Manus Principles:** See [reference.md](reference.md)
+- **Real Examples:** See [examples.md](examples.md)
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+| Don't | Do Instead |
+|-------|------------|
+| Use TodoWrite for persistence | Create task_plan.md file |
+| State goals once and forget | Re-read plan before decisions |
+| Hide errors and retry silently | Log errors to plan file |
+| Stuff everything in context | Store large content in files |
+| Start executing immediately | Create plan file FIRST |
+| Repeat failed actions | Track attempts, mutate approach |
+| Create files in skill directory | Create files in your project |

+# Findings & Decisions
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Your knowledge base for the task. Stores everything you discover and decide.

+  WHEN: Update after ANY discovery, especially after 2 view/browser/search operations (2-Action Rule).
+-->
+
+## Requirements
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: What the user asked for, broken down into specific requirements.
+  WHY: Keeps requirements visible so you don't forget what you're building.
+  WHEN: Fill this in during Phase 1 (Requirements & Discovery).
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Command-line interface
+    - Add tasks
+    - List all tasks
+    - Delete tasks
+    - Python implementation
+-->
+<!-- Captured from user request -->
+-
+
+## Research Findings
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Key discoveries from web searches, documentation reading, or exploration.
+  WHY: Multimodal content (images, browser results) doesn't persist. Write it down immediately.
+  WHEN: After EVERY 2 view/browser/search operations, update this section (2-Action Rule).
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Python's argparse module supports subcommands for clean CLI design
+    - JSON module handles file persistence easily
+    - Standard pattern: python script.py <command> [args]

+  WHAT: Architecture and implementation choices you've made, with reasoning.
+  WHY: You'll forget why you chose a technology or approach. This table preserves that knowledge.
+  WHEN: Update whenever you make a significant technical choice.

+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Problems you ran into and how you solved them.
+  WHY: Similar to errors in task_plan.md, but focused on broader issues (not just code errors).
+  WHEN: Document when you encounter blockers or unexpected challenges.

+
+## Resources
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: URLs, file paths, API references, documentation links you've found useful.
+  WHY: Easy reference for later. Don't lose important links in context.
+  WHEN: Add as you discover useful resources.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Python argparse docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html
+    - Project structure: src/main.py, src/utils.py

+
+## Decisions Made
+- Using CSS custom properties for theme
+- Storing preference in localStorage
+- Toggle component in SettingsPage.tsx
+
+## Status
+**Currently in Phase 3** - Building toggle component
+```
+
+**notes.md:**
+```markdown
+# Notes: Dark Mode Implementation
+
+## Existing Theme System
+- Located in: src/styles/theme.ts
+- Uses: CSS custom properties
+- Current themes: light only
+
+## Files to Modify
+1. src/styles/theme.ts - Add dark theme colors
+2. src/components/SettingsPage.tsx - Add toggle
+3. src/hooks/useTheme.ts - Create new hook
+4. src/App.tsx - Wrap with ThemeProvider
+
+## Color Decisions
+- Dark background: #1a1a2e
+- Dark surface: #16213e
+- Dark text: #eaeaea
+```
+
+**dark_mode_implementation.md:** (deliverable)
+```markdown
+# Dark Mode Implementation
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Added dark theme colors
+File: src/styles/theme.ts
+...
+
+### 2. Created useTheme hook
+File: src/hooks/useTheme.ts
+...
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example 4: Error Recovery Pattern
+
+When something fails, DON'T hide it:
+
+### Before (Wrong)
+```
+Action: Read config.json
+Error: File not found
+Action: Read config.json  # Silent retry
+Action: Read config.json  # Another retry
+```
+
+### After (Correct)
+```
+Action: Read config.json
+Error: File not found
+
+# Update task_plan.md:
+## Errors Encountered
+- config.json not found → Will create default config
+
+Action: Write config.json (default config)
+Action: Read config.json
+Success!
+```
+
+---
+
+## The Read-Before-Decide Pattern
+
+**Always read your plan before major decisions:**
+
+```
+[Many tool calls have happened...]
+[Context is getting long...]
+[Original goal might be forgotten...]
+
+→ Read task_plan.md          # This brings goals back into attention!
+→ Now make the decision       # Goals are fresh in context
+```
+
+This is why Manus can handle ~50 tool calls without losing track. The plan file acts as a "goal refresh" mechanism.

+# Reference: Manus Context Engineering Principles
+
+This skill is based on context engineering principles from Manus, the AI agent company acquired by Meta for $2 billion in December 2025.
+
+## The 6 Manus Principles
+
+### Principle 1: Design Around KV-Cache
+
+> "KV-cache hit rate is THE single most important metric for production AI agents."
+
+**Statistics:**
+- ~100:1 input-to-output token ratio
+- Cached tokens: $0.30/MTok vs Uncached: $3/MTok
+- 10x cost difference!
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Keep prompt prefixes STABLE (single-token change invalidates cache)
+- NO timestamps in system prompts
+- Make context APPEND-ONLY with deterministic serialization
+
+### Principle 2: Mask, Don't Remove
+
+Don't dynamically remove tools (breaks KV-cache). Use logit masking instead.
+
+**Best Practice:** Use consistent action prefixes (e.g., `browser_`, `shell_`, `file_`) for easier masking.
+
+### Principle 3: Filesystem as External Memory
+
+> "Markdown is my 'working memory' on disk."
+
+**The Formula:**
+```
+Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
+Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
+```
+
+**Compression Must Be Restorable:**
+- Keep URLs even if web content is dropped
+- Keep file paths when dropping document contents
+- Never lose the pointer to full data
+
+### Principle 4: Manipulate Attention Through Recitation
+
+> "Creates and updates todo.md throughout tasks to push global plan into model's recent attention span."
+
+**Problem:** After ~50 tool calls, models forget original goals ("lost in the middle" effect).
+
+**Solution:** Re-read `task_plan.md` before each decision. Goals appear in the attention window.
+
+```
+Start of context: [Original goal - far away, forgotten]
+...many tool calls...
+End of context: [Recently read task_plan.md - gets ATTENTION!]
+```
+
+### Principle 5: Keep the Wrong Stuff In
+
+> "Leave the wrong turns in the context."
+
+**Why:**
+- Failed actions with stack traces let model implicitly update beliefs
+- Reduces mistake repetition
+- Error recovery is "one of the clearest signals of TRUE agentic behavior"
+
+### Principle 6: Don't Get Few-Shotted
+
+> "Uniformity breeds fragility."
+
+**Problem:** Repetitive action-observation pairs cause drift and hallucination.
+
+**Solution:** Introduce controlled variation:
+- Vary phrasings slightly
+- Don't copy-paste patterns blindly
+- Recalibrate on repetitive tasks
+
+---
+
+## The 3 Context Engineering Strategies
+
+Based on Lance Martin's analysis of Manus architecture.
+
+### Strategy 1: Context Reduction
+
+**Compaction:**
+```
+Tool calls have TWO representations:
+├── FULL: Raw tool content (stored in filesystem)
+└── COMPACT: Reference/file path only
+
+RULES:
+- Apply compaction to STALE (older) tool results
+- Keep RECENT results FULL (to guide next decision)
+```
+
+**Summarization:**
+- Applied when compaction reaches diminishing returns
+- Generated using full tool results
+- Creates standardized summary objects
+
+### Strategy 2: Context Isolation (Multi-Agent)
+
+**Architecture:**
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────┐
+│         PLANNER AGENT           │
+│  └─ Assigns tasks to sub-agents │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│       KNOWLEDGE MANAGER         │
+│  └─ Reviews conversations       │
+│  └─ Determines filesystem store │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│      EXECUTOR SUB-AGENTS        │
+│  └─ Perform assigned tasks      │
+│  └─ Have own context windows    │
+└─────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Key Insight:** Manus originally used `todo.md` for task planning but found ~33% of actions were spent updating it. Shifted to dedicated planner agent calling executor sub-agents.
+
+### Strategy 3: Context Offloading
+
+**Tool Design:**
+- Use <20 atomic functions total
+- Store full results in filesystem, not context
+- Use `glob` and `grep` for searching
+- Progressive disclosure: load information only as needed
+
+---
+
+## The Agent Loop
+
+Manus operates in a continuous 7-step loop:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  1. ANALYZE CONTEXT                      │
+│     - Understand user intent             │
+│     - Assess current state               │
+│     - Review recent observations         │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  2. THINK                                │
+│     - Should I update the plan?          │
+│     - What's the next logical action?    │
+│     - Are there blockers?                │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  3. SELECT TOOL                          │
+│     - Choose ONE tool                    │
+│     - Ensure parameters available        │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  4. EXECUTE ACTION                       │
+│     - Tool runs in sandbox               │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  5. RECEIVE OBSERVATION                  │
+│     - Result appended to context         │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  6. ITERATE                              │
+│     - Return to step 1                   │
+│     - Continue until complete            │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  7. DELIVER OUTCOME                      │
+│     - Send results to user               │
+│     - Attach all relevant files          │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```

+## File Types Manus Creates
+
+| File | Purpose | When Created | When Updated |
+|------|---------|--------------|--------------|
+| `task_plan.md` | Phase tracking, progress | Task start | After completing phases |
+| `findings.md` | Discoveries, decisions | After ANY discovery | After viewing images/PDFs |
+| `progress.md` | Session log, what's done | At breakpoints | Throughout session |
+| Code files | Implementation | Before execution | After errors |
+
+---
+
+## Critical Constraints
+
+- **Single-Action Execution:** ONE tool call per turn. No parallel execution.
+- **Plan is Required:** Agent must ALWAYS know: goal, current phase, remaining phases
+- **Files are Memory:** Context = volatile. Filesystem = persistent.
+- **Never Repeat Failures:** If action failed, next action MUST be different
+- **Communication is a Tool:** Message types: `info` (progress), `ask` (blocking), `result` (terminal)
+
+---
+
+## Manus Statistics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Average tool calls per task | ~50 |
+| Input-to-output token ratio | 100:1 |
+| Acquisition price | $2 billion |
+| Time to $100M revenue | 8 months |
+| Framework refactors since launch | 5 times |
+
+---
+
+## Key Quotes
+
+> "Context window = RAM (volatile, limited). Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited). Anything important gets written to disk."
+
+> "if action_failed: next_action != same_action. Track what you tried. Mutate the approach."
+
+> "Error recovery is one of the clearest signals of TRUE agentic behavior."
+
+> "KV-cache hit rate is the single most important metric for a production-stage AI agent."
+
+> "Leave the wrong turns in the context."

+# 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:
+
+```bash
+python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/session-catchup.py "$(pwd)"
+```
+
+If catchup report shows unsynced context:
+1. Run `git diff --stat` to see actual code changes
+2. Read current planning files
+3. Update planning files based on catchup + git diff
+4. 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:
+
+1. **Create `task_plan.md`** — Use [templates/task_plan.md](templates/task_plan.md) as reference
+2. **Create `findings.md`** — Use [templates/findings.md](templates/findings.md) as reference
+3. **Create `progress.md`** — Use [templates/progress.md](templates/progress.md) as reference
+4. **Re-read plan before decisions** — Refreshes goals in attention window
+5. **Update after each phase** — Mark complete, log errors
+
+> **Note:** Planning files go in your project root, not the skill installation folder.
+
+## The Core Pattern
+
+```
+Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
+Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
+
+→ Anything important gets written to disk.
+```
+
+## File Purposes
+
+| File | Purpose | When to Update |
+|------|---------|----------------|
+| `task_plan.md` | Phases, progress, decisions | After each phase |
+| `findings.md` | Research, discoveries | After ANY discovery |
+| `progress.md` | Session log, test results | Throughout session |
+
+## Critical Rules
+
+### 1. Create Plan First
+Never start a complex task without `task_plan.md`. Non-negotiable.
+
+### 2. The 2-Action Rule
+> "After every 2 view/browser/search operations, IMMEDIATELY save key findings to text files."
+
+This prevents visual/multimodal information from being lost.
+
+### 3. Read Before Decide
+Before major decisions, read the plan file. This keeps goals in your attention window.
+
+### 4. Update After Act
+After completing any phase:
+- Mark phase status: `in_progress` → `complete`
+- Log any errors encountered
+- Note files created/modified
+
+### 5. Log ALL Errors
+Every error goes in the plan file. This builds knowledge and prevents repetition.
+
+```markdown
+## Errors Encountered
+| Error | Attempt | Resolution |
+|-------|---------|------------|
+| FileNotFoundError | 1 | Created default config |
+| API timeout | 2 | Added retry logic |
+```
+
+### 6. Never Repeat Failures
+```
+if action_failed:
+    next_action != same_action
+```
+Track what you tried. Mutate the approach.
+
+## The 3-Strike Error Protocol
+
+```
+ATTEMPT 1: Diagnose & Fix
+  → Read error carefully
+  → Identify root cause
+  → Apply targeted fix
+
+ATTEMPT 2: Alternative Approach
+  → Same error? Try different method
+  → Different tool? Different library?
+  → NEVER repeat exact same failing action
+
+ATTEMPT 3: Broader Rethink
+  → Question assumptions
+  → Search for solutions
+  → Consider updating the plan
+
+AFTER 3 FAILURES: Escalate to User
+  → Explain what you tried
+  → Share the specific error
+  → Ask for guidance
+```
+
+## Read vs Write Decision Matrix
+
+| Situation | Action | Reason |
+|-----------|--------|--------|
+| Just wrote a file | DON'T read | Content still in context |
+| Viewed image/PDF | Write findings NOW | Multimodal → text before lost |
+| Browser returned data | Write to file | Screenshots don't persist |
+| Starting new phase | Read plan/findings | Re-orient if context stale |
+| Error occurred | Read relevant file | Need current state to fix |
+| Resuming after gap | Read all planning files | Recover state |
+
+## The 5-Question Reboot Test
+
+If you can answer these, your context management is solid:
+
+| Question | Answer Source |
+|----------|---------------|
+| Where am I? | Current phase in task_plan.md |
+| Where am I going? | Remaining phases |
+| What's the goal? | Goal statement in plan |
+| What have I learned? | findings.md |
+| What have I done? | progress.md |
+
+## When to Use This Pattern
+
+**Use for:**
+- Multi-step tasks (3+ steps)
+- Research tasks
+- Building/creating projects
+- Tasks spanning many tool calls
+- Anything requiring organization
+
+**Skip for:**
+- Simple questions
+- Single-file edits
+- Quick lookups
+
+## Templates
+
+Copy these templates to start:
+
+- [templates/task_plan.md](templates/task_plan.md) — Phase tracking
+- [templates/findings.md](templates/findings.md) — Research storage
+- [templates/progress.md](templates/progress.md) — Session logging
+
+## Scripts
+
+Helper scripts for automation:
+
+- `scripts/init-session.sh` — Initialize all planning files
+- `scripts/check-complete.sh` — Verify all phases complete
+- `scripts/session-catchup.py` — Recover context from previous session (v2.2.0)
+
+## Advanced Topics
+
+- **Manus Principles:** See [reference.md](reference.md)
+- **Real Examples:** See [examples.md](examples.md)
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+| Don't | Do Instead |
+|-------|------------|
+| Use TodoWrite for persistence | Create task_plan.md file |
+| State goals once and forget | Re-read plan before decisions |
+| Hide errors and retry silently | Log errors to plan file |
+| Stuff everything in context | Store large content in files |
+| Start executing immediately | Create plan file FIRST |
+| Repeat failed actions | Track attempts, mutate approach |
+| Create files in skill directory | Create files in your project |

+# Examples: Planning with Files in Action
+
+## Example 1: Research Task
+
+**User Request:** "Research the benefits of morning exercise and write a summary"
+
+### Loop 1: Create Plan
+```bash
+Write task_plan.md
+```
+
+```markdown
+# Task Plan: Morning Exercise Benefits Research
+
+## Goal
+Create a research summary on the benefits of morning exercise.
+
+## Phases
+- [ ] Phase 1: Create this plan ✓
+- [ ] Phase 2: Search and gather sources
+- [ ] Phase 3: Synthesize findings
+- [ ] Phase 4: Deliver summary
+
+## Key Questions
+1. What are the physical health benefits?
+2. What are the mental health benefits?
+3. What scientific studies support this?
+
+## Status
+**Currently in Phase 1** - Creating plan
+```
+
+### Loop 2: Research
+```bash
+Read task_plan.md           # Refresh goals
+WebSearch "morning exercise benefits"
+Write notes.md              # Store findings
+Edit task_plan.md           # Mark Phase 2 complete
+```
+
+### Loop 3: Synthesize
+```bash
+Read task_plan.md           # Refresh goals
+Read notes.md               # Get findings
+Write morning_exercise_summary.md
+Edit task_plan.md           # Mark Phase 3 complete
+```
+
+### Loop 4: Deliver
+```bash
+Read task_plan.md           # Verify complete
+Deliver morning_exercise_summary.md
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example 2: Bug Fix Task
+
+**User Request:** "Fix the login bug in the authentication module"
+
+### task_plan.md
+```markdown
+# Task Plan: Fix Login Bug
+
+## Goal
+Identify and fix the bug preventing successful login.
+
+## Phases
+- [x] Phase 1: Understand the bug report ✓
+- [x] Phase 2: Locate relevant code ✓
+- [ ] Phase 3: Identify root cause (CURRENT)
+- [ ] Phase 4: Implement fix
+- [ ] Phase 5: Test and verify
+
+## Key Questions
+1. What error message appears?
+2. Which file handles authentication?
+3. What changed recently?
+
+## Decisions Made
+- Auth handler is in src/auth/login.ts
+- Error occurs in validateToken() function
+
+## Errors Encountered
+- [Initial] TypeError: Cannot read property 'token' of undefined
+  → Root cause: user object not awaited properly
+
+## Status
+**Currently in Phase 3** - Found root cause, preparing fix
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example 3: Feature Development
+
+**User Request:** "Add a dark mode toggle to the settings page"
+
+### The 3-File Pattern in Action
+
+**task_plan.md:**
+```markdown
+# Task Plan: Dark Mode Toggle
+
+## Goal
+Add functional dark mode toggle to settings.
+
+## Phases
+- [x] Phase 1: Research existing theme system ✓
+- [x] Phase 2: Design implementation approach ✓
+- [ ] Phase 3: Implement toggle component (CURRENT)
+- [ ] Phase 4: Add theme switching logic
+- [ ] Phase 5: Test and polish
+
+## Decisions Made
+- Using CSS custom properties for theme
+- Storing preference in localStorage
+- Toggle component in SettingsPage.tsx
+
+## Status
+**Currently in Phase 3** - Building toggle component
+```
+
+**notes.md:**
+```markdown
+# Notes: Dark Mode Implementation
+
+## Existing Theme System
+- Located in: src/styles/theme.ts
+- Uses: CSS custom properties
+- Current themes: light only
+
+## Files to Modify
+1. src/styles/theme.ts - Add dark theme colors
+2. src/components/SettingsPage.tsx - Add toggle
+3. src/hooks/useTheme.ts - Create new hook
+4. src/App.tsx - Wrap with ThemeProvider
+
+## Color Decisions
+- Dark background: #1a1a2e
+- Dark surface: #16213e
+- Dark text: #eaeaea
+```
+
+**dark_mode_implementation.md:** (deliverable)
+```markdown
+# Dark Mode Implementation
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Added dark theme colors
+File: src/styles/theme.ts
+...
+
+### 2. Created useTheme hook
+File: src/hooks/useTheme.ts
+...
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example 4: Error Recovery Pattern
+
+When something fails, DON'T hide it:
+
+### Before (Wrong)
+```
+Action: Read config.json
+Error: File not found
+Action: Read config.json  # Silent retry
+Action: Read config.json  # Another retry
+```
+
+### After (Correct)
+```
+Action: Read config.json
+Error: File not found
+
+# Update task_plan.md:
+## Errors Encountered
+- config.json not found → Will create default config
+
+Action: Write config.json (default config)
+Action: Read config.json
+Success!
+```
+
+---
+
+## The Read-Before-Decide Pattern
+
+**Always read your plan before major decisions:**
+
+```
+[Many tool calls have happened...]
+[Context is getting long...]
+[Original goal might be forgotten...]
+
+→ Read task_plan.md          # This brings goals back into attention!
+→ Now make the decision       # Goals are fresh in context
+```
+
+This is why Manus can handle ~50 tool calls without losing track. The plan file acts as a "goal refresh" mechanism.

+# Reference: Manus Context Engineering Principles
+
+This skill is based on context engineering principles from Manus, the AI agent company acquired by Meta for $2 billion in December 2025.
+
+## The 6 Manus Principles
+
+### Principle 1: Design Around KV-Cache
+
+> "KV-cache hit rate is THE single most important metric for production AI agents."
+
+**Statistics:**
+- ~100:1 input-to-output token ratio
+- Cached tokens: $0.30/MTok vs Uncached: $3/MTok
+- 10x cost difference!
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Keep prompt prefixes STABLE (single-token change invalidates cache)
+- NO timestamps in system prompts
+- Make context APPEND-ONLY with deterministic serialization
+
+### Principle 2: Mask, Don't Remove
+
+Don't dynamically remove tools (breaks KV-cache). Use logit masking instead.
+
+**Best Practice:** Use consistent action prefixes (e.g., `browser_`, `shell_`, `file_`) for easier masking.
+
+### Principle 3: Filesystem as External Memory
+
+> "Markdown is my 'working memory' on disk."
+
+**The Formula:**
+```
+Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
+Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
+```
+
+**Compression Must Be Restorable:**
+- Keep URLs even if web content is dropped
+- Keep file paths when dropping document contents
+- Never lose the pointer to full data
+
+### Principle 4: Manipulate Attention Through Recitation
+
+> "Creates and updates todo.md throughout tasks to push global plan into model's recent attention span."
+
+**Problem:** After ~50 tool calls, models forget original goals ("lost in the middle" effect).
+
+**Solution:** Re-read `task_plan.md` before each decision. Goals appear in the attention window.
+
+```
+Start of context: [Original goal - far away, forgotten]
+...many tool calls...
+End of context: [Recently read task_plan.md - gets ATTENTION!]
+```
+
+### Principle 5: Keep the Wrong Stuff In
+
+> "Leave the wrong turns in the context."
+
+**Why:**
+- Failed actions with stack traces let model implicitly update beliefs
+- Reduces mistake repetition
+- Error recovery is "one of the clearest signals of TRUE agentic behavior"
+
+### Principle 6: Don't Get Few-Shotted
+
+> "Uniformity breeds fragility."
+
+**Problem:** Repetitive action-observation pairs cause drift and hallucination.
+
+**Solution:** Introduce controlled variation:
+- Vary phrasings slightly
+- Don't copy-paste patterns blindly
+- Recalibrate on repetitive tasks
+
+---
+
+## The 3 Context Engineering Strategies
+
+Based on Lance Martin's analysis of Manus architecture.
+
+### Strategy 1: Context Reduction
+
+**Compaction:**
+```
+Tool calls have TWO representations:
+├── FULL: Raw tool content (stored in filesystem)
+└── COMPACT: Reference/file path only
+
+RULES:
+- Apply compaction to STALE (older) tool results
+- Keep RECENT results FULL (to guide next decision)
+```
+
+**Summarization:**
+- Applied when compaction reaches diminishing returns
+- Generated using full tool results
+- Creates standardized summary objects
+
+### Strategy 2: Context Isolation (Multi-Agent)
+
+**Architecture:**
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────┐
+│         PLANNER AGENT           │
+│  └─ Assigns tasks to sub-agents │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│       KNOWLEDGE MANAGER         │
+│  └─ Reviews conversations       │
+│  └─ Determines filesystem store │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│      EXECUTOR SUB-AGENTS        │
+│  └─ Perform assigned tasks      │
+│  └─ Have own context windows    │
+└─────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Key Insight:** Manus originally used `todo.md` for task planning but found ~33% of actions were spent updating it. Shifted to dedicated planner agent calling executor sub-agents.
+
+### Strategy 3: Context Offloading
+
+**Tool Design:**
+- Use <20 atomic functions total
+- Store full results in filesystem, not context
+- Use `glob` and `grep` for searching
+- Progressive disclosure: load information only as needed
+
+---
+
+## The Agent Loop
+
+Manus operates in a continuous 7-step loop:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  1. ANALYZE CONTEXT                      │
+│     - Understand user intent             │
+│     - Assess current state               │
+│     - Review recent observations         │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  2. THINK                                │
+│     - Should I update the plan?          │
+│     - What's the next logical action?    │
+│     - Are there blockers?                │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  3. SELECT TOOL                          │
+│     - Choose ONE tool                    │
+│     - Ensure parameters available        │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  4. EXECUTE ACTION                       │
+│     - Tool runs in sandbox               │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  5. RECEIVE OBSERVATION                  │
+│     - Result appended to context         │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  6. ITERATE                              │
+│     - Return to step 1                   │
+│     - Continue until complete            │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  7. DELIVER OUTCOME                      │
+│     - Send results to user               │
+│     - Attach all relevant files          │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

+## File Types Manus Creates
+
+| File | Purpose | When Created | When Updated |
+|------|---------|--------------|--------------|
+| `task_plan.md` | Phase tracking, progress | Task start | After completing phases |
+| `findings.md` | Discoveries, decisions | After ANY discovery | After viewing images/PDFs |
+| `progress.md` | Session log, what's done | At breakpoints | Throughout session |
+| Code files | Implementation | Before execution | After errors |
+
+---
+
+## Critical Constraints
+
+- **Single-Action Execution:** ONE tool call per turn. No parallel execution.
+- **Plan is Required:** Agent must ALWAYS know: goal, current phase, remaining phases
+- **Files are Memory:** Context = volatile. Filesystem = persistent.
+- **Never Repeat Failures:** If action failed, next action MUST be different
+- **Communication is a Tool:** Message types: `info` (progress), `ask` (blocking), `result` (terminal)
+
+---
+
+## Manus Statistics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Average tool calls per task | ~50 |
+| Input-to-output token ratio | 100:1 |
+| Acquisition price | $2 billion |
+| Time to $100M revenue | 8 months |
+| Framework refactors since launch | 5 times |
+
+---
+
+## Key Quotes
+
+> "Context window = RAM (volatile, limited). Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited). Anything important gets written to disk."
+
+> "if action_failed: next_action != same_action. Track what you tried. Mutate the approach."
+
+> "Error recovery is one of the clearest signals of TRUE agentic behavior."
+
+> "KV-cache hit rate is the single most important metric for a production-stage AI agent."
+
+> "Leave the wrong turns in the context."

+# Findings & Decisions
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Your knowledge base for the task. Stores everything you discover and decide.
+  WHY: Context windows are limited. This file is your "external memory" - persistent and unlimited.
+  WHEN: Update after ANY discovery, especially after 2 view/browser/search operations (2-Action Rule).
+-->
+
+## Requirements
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: What the user asked for, broken down into specific requirements.
+  WHY: Keeps requirements visible so you don't forget what you're building.
+  WHEN: Fill this in during Phase 1 (Requirements & Discovery).
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Command-line interface
+    - Add tasks
+    - List all tasks
+    - Delete tasks
+    - Python implementation
+-->
+<!-- Captured from user request -->
+-
+
+## Research Findings
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Key discoveries from web searches, documentation reading, or exploration.
+  WHY: Multimodal content (images, browser results) doesn't persist. Write it down immediately.
+  WHEN: After EVERY 2 view/browser/search operations, update this section (2-Action Rule).
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Python's argparse module supports subcommands for clean CLI design
+    - JSON module handles file persistence easily
+    - Standard pattern: python script.py <command> [args]
+-->
+<!-- Key discoveries during exploration -->
+-

+## Technical Decisions
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Architecture and implementation choices you've made, with reasoning.
+  WHY: You'll forget why you chose a technology or approach. This table preserves that knowledge.
+  WHEN: Update whenever you make a significant technical choice.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    | Use JSON for storage | Simple, human-readable, built-in Python support |
+    | argparse with subcommands | Clean CLI: python todo.py add "task" |

+## Issues Encountered
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Problems you ran into and how you solved them.
+  WHY: Similar to errors in task_plan.md, but focused on broader issues (not just code errors).
+  WHEN: Document when you encounter blockers or unexpected challenges.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    | Empty file causes JSONDecodeError | Added explicit empty file check before json.load() |

+<!-- Errors and how they were resolved -->
+| Issue | Resolution |
+|-------|------------|
+|       |            |

+## Resources
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: URLs, file paths, API references, documentation links you've found useful.
+  WHY: Easy reference for later. Don't lose important links in context.
+  WHEN: Add as you discover useful resources.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Python argparse docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html
+    - Project structure: src/main.py, src/utils.py
+-->

+## Visual/Browser Findings
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Information you learned from viewing images, PDFs, or browser results.
+  WHY: CRITICAL - Visual/multimodal content doesn't persist in context. Must be captured as text.
+  WHEN: IMMEDIATELY after viewing images or browser results. Don't wait!

-
-### Principle 1: Filesystem as External Memory
-Store large content in files, keep only paths in context. Agent can "look up" information when needed.
-
-### Principle 2: Attention Manipulation
-After ~50 tool calls, models forget original goals ("lost in the middle" effect). Re-reading `task_plan.md` brings goals back into the attention window.
-
-### Principle 3: Keep Failure Traces
-Keep failed actions in the plan file. The model updates its understanding when seeing failures. Error recovery is "one of the clearest signals of TRUE agentic behavior."

+## Example 3: Feature Development
+
+**User Request:** "Add a dark mode toggle to the settings page"
+
+### The 3-File Pattern in Action
+
+**task_plan.md:**
+```markdown
+# Task Plan: Dark Mode Toggle
+
+## Goal
+Add functional dark mode toggle to settings.
+
+## Phases
+- [x] Phase 1: Research existing theme system ✓
+- [x] Phase 2: Design implementation approach ✓
+- [ ] Phase 3: Implement toggle component (CURRENT)
+- [ ] Phase 4: Add theme switching logic
+- [ ] Phase 5: Test and polish
+
+## Decisions Made
+- Using CSS custom properties for theme
+- Storing preference in localStorage
+- Toggle component in SettingsPage.tsx
+
+## Status
+**Currently in Phase 3** - Building toggle component
+```
+
+**notes.md:**
+```markdown
+# Notes: Dark Mode Implementation
+
+## Existing Theme System
+- Located in: src/styles/theme.ts
+- Uses: CSS custom properties
+- Current themes: light only
+
+## Files to Modify
+1. src/styles/theme.ts - Add dark theme colors
+2. src/components/SettingsPage.tsx - Add toggle
+3. src/hooks/useTheme.ts - Create new hook
+4. src/App.tsx - Wrap with ThemeProvider
+
+## Color Decisions
+- Dark background: #1a1a2e
+- Dark surface: #16213e
+- Dark text: #eaeaea
+```
+
+**dark_mode_implementation.md:** (deliverable)
+```markdown
+# Dark Mode Implementation
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Added dark theme colors
+File: src/styles/theme.ts
+...
+
+### 2. Created useTheme hook
+File: src/hooks/useTheme.ts
+...
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example 4: Error Recovery Pattern
+
+When something fails, DON'T hide it:
+
+### Before (Wrong)
+```
+Action: Read config.json
+Error: File not found
+Action: Read config.json  # Silent retry
+Action: Read config.json  # Another retry
+```
+
+### After (Correct)
+```
+Action: Read config.json
+Error: File not found
+
+# Update task_plan.md:
+## Errors Encountered
+- config.json not found → Will create default config
+
+Action: Write config.json (default config)
+Action: Read config.json
+Success!
+```
+
+---
+
+## The Read-Before-Decide Pattern
+
+**Always read your plan before major decisions:**
+
+```
+[Many tool calls have happened...]
+[Context is getting long...]
+[Original goal might be forgotten...]
+
+→ Read task_plan.md          # This brings goals back into attention!
+→ Now make the decision       # Goals are fresh in context
+```
+
+This is why Manus can handle ~50 tool calls without losing track. The plan file acts as a "goal refresh" mechanism.

+# Reference: Manus Context Engineering Principles
+
+This skill is based on context engineering principles from Manus, the AI agent company acquired by Meta for $2 billion in December 2025.
+
+## The 6 Manus Principles
+
+### Principle 1: Design Around KV-Cache
+
+> "KV-cache hit rate is THE single most important metric for production AI agents."
+
+**Statistics:**
+- ~100:1 input-to-output token ratio
+- Cached tokens: $0.30/MTok vs Uncached: $3/MTok
+- 10x cost difference!
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Keep prompt prefixes STABLE (single-token change invalidates cache)
+- NO timestamps in system prompts
+- Make context APPEND-ONLY with deterministic serialization
+
+### Principle 2: Mask, Don't Remove
+
+Don't dynamically remove tools (breaks KV-cache). Use logit masking instead.
+
+**Best Practice:** Use consistent action prefixes (e.g., `browser_`, `shell_`, `file_`) for easier masking.
+
+### Principle 3: Filesystem as External Memory
+
+> "Markdown is my 'working memory' on disk."
+
+**The Formula:**
+```
+Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
+Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
+```
+
+**Compression Must Be Restorable:**
+- Keep URLs even if web content is dropped
+- Keep file paths when dropping document contents
+- Never lose the pointer to full data
+
+### Principle 4: Manipulate Attention Through Recitation
+
+> "Creates and updates todo.md throughout tasks to push global plan into model's recent attention span."
+
+**Problem:** After ~50 tool calls, models forget original goals ("lost in the middle" effect).
+
+**Solution:** Re-read `task_plan.md` before each decision. Goals appear in the attention window.
+
+```
+Start of context: [Original goal - far away, forgotten]
+...many tool calls...
+End of context: [Recently read task_plan.md - gets ATTENTION!]
+```
+
+### Principle 5: Keep the Wrong Stuff In
+
+> "Leave the wrong turns in the context."
+
+**Why:**
+- Failed actions with stack traces let model implicitly update beliefs
+- Reduces mistake repetition
+- Error recovery is "one of the clearest signals of TRUE agentic behavior"
+
+### Principle 6: Don't Get Few-Shotted
+
+> "Uniformity breeds fragility."
+
+**Problem:** Repetitive action-observation pairs cause drift and hallucination.
+
+**Solution:** Introduce controlled variation:
+- Vary phrasings slightly
+- Don't copy-paste patterns blindly
+- Recalibrate on repetitive tasks
+
+---
+
+## The 3 Context Engineering Strategies
+
+Based on Lance Martin's analysis of Manus architecture.
+
+### Strategy 1: Context Reduction
+
+**Compaction:**
+```
+Tool calls have TWO representations:
+├── FULL: Raw tool content (stored in filesystem)
+└── COMPACT: Reference/file path only
+
+RULES:
+- Apply compaction to STALE (older) tool results
+- Keep RECENT results FULL (to guide next decision)
+```
+
+**Summarization:**
+- Applied when compaction reaches diminishing returns
+- Generated using full tool results
+- Creates standardized summary objects
+
+### Strategy 2: Context Isolation (Multi-Agent)
+
+**Architecture:**
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────┐
+│         PLANNER AGENT           │
+│  └─ Assigns tasks to sub-agents │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│       KNOWLEDGE MANAGER         │
+│  └─ Reviews conversations       │
+│  └─ Determines filesystem store │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│      EXECUTOR SUB-AGENTS        │
+│  └─ Perform assigned tasks      │
+│  └─ Have own context windows    │
+└─────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Key Insight:** Manus originally used `todo.md` for task planning but found ~33% of actions were spent updating it. Shifted to dedicated planner agent calling executor sub-agents.
+
+### Strategy 3: Context Offloading
+
+**Tool Design:**
+- Use <20 atomic functions total
+- Store full results in filesystem, not context
+- Use `glob` and `grep` for searching
+- Progressive disclosure: load information only as needed
+
+---
+
+## The Agent Loop
+
+Manus operates in a continuous 7-step loop:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  1. ANALYZE CONTEXT                      │
+│     - Understand user intent             │
+│     - Assess current state               │
+│     - Review recent observations         │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  2. THINK                                │
+│     - Should I update the plan?          │
+│     - What's the next logical action?    │
+│     - Are there blockers?                │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  3. SELECT TOOL                          │
+│     - Choose ONE tool                    │
+│     - Ensure parameters available        │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  4. EXECUTE ACTION                       │
+│     - Tool runs in sandbox               │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  5. RECEIVE OBSERVATION                  │
+│     - Result appended to context         │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  6. ITERATE                              │
+│     - Return to step 1                   │
+│     - Continue until complete            │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  7. DELIVER OUTCOME                      │
+│     - Send results to user               │
+│     - Attach all relevant files          │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

+## File Types Manus Creates
+
+| File | Purpose | When Created | When Updated |
+|------|---------|--------------|--------------|
+| `task_plan.md` | Phase tracking, progress | Task start | After completing phases |
+| `findings.md` | Discoveries, decisions | After ANY discovery | After viewing images/PDFs |
+| `progress.md` | Session log, what's done | At breakpoints | Throughout session |
+| Code files | Implementation | Before execution | After errors |
+
+---
+
+## Critical Constraints
+
+- **Single-Action Execution:** ONE tool call per turn. No parallel execution.
+- **Plan is Required:** Agent must ALWAYS know: goal, current phase, remaining phases
+- **Files are Memory:** Context = volatile. Filesystem = persistent.
+- **Never Repeat Failures:** If action failed, next action MUST be different
+- **Communication is a Tool:** Message types: `info` (progress), `ask` (blocking), `result` (terminal)
+
+---
+
+## Manus Statistics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Average tool calls per task | ~50 |
+| Input-to-output token ratio | 100:1 |
+| Acquisition price | $2 billion |
+| Time to $100M revenue | 8 months |
+| Framework refactors since launch | 5 times |
+
+---
+
+## Key Quotes
+
+> "Context window = RAM (volatile, limited). Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited). Anything important gets written to disk."
+
+> "if action_failed: next_action != same_action. Track what you tried. Mutate the approach."
+
+> "Error recovery is one of the clearest signals of TRUE agentic behavior."
+
+> "KV-cache hit rate is the single most important metric for a production-stage AI agent."
+
+> "Leave the wrong turns in the context."

+# Findings & Decisions
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Your knowledge base for the task. Stores everything you discover and decide.
+  WHY: Context windows are limited. This file is your "external memory" - persistent and unlimited.
+  WHEN: Update after ANY discovery, especially after 2 view/browser/search operations (2-Action Rule).
+-->
+
+## Requirements
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: What the user asked for, broken down into specific requirements.
+  WHY: Keeps requirements visible so you don't forget what you're building.
+  WHEN: Fill this in during Phase 1 (Requirements & Discovery).
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Command-line interface
+    - Add tasks
+    - List all tasks
+    - Delete tasks
+    - Python implementation
+-->
+<!-- Captured from user request -->
+-
+
+## Research Findings
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Key discoveries from web searches, documentation reading, or exploration.
+  WHY: Multimodal content (images, browser results) doesn't persist. Write it down immediately.
+  WHEN: After EVERY 2 view/browser/search operations, update this section (2-Action Rule).
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Python's argparse module supports subcommands for clean CLI design
+    - JSON module handles file persistence easily
+    - Standard pattern: python script.py <command> [args]
+-->
+<!-- Key discoveries during exploration -->
+-
+
+## Technical Decisions
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Architecture and implementation choices you've made, with reasoning.
+  WHY: You'll forget why you chose a technology or approach. This table preserves that knowledge.
+  WHEN: Update whenever you make a significant technical choice.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    | Use JSON for storage | Simple, human-readable, built-in Python support |
+    | argparse with subcommands | Clean CLI: python todo.py add "task" |
+-->
+<!-- Decisions made with rationale -->
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+|          |           |
+
+## Issues Encountered
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Problems you ran into and how you solved them.
+  WHY: Similar to errors in task_plan.md, but focused on broader issues (not just code errors).
+  WHEN: Document when you encounter blockers or unexpected challenges.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    | Empty file causes JSONDecodeError | Added explicit empty file check before json.load() |
+-->
+<!-- Errors and how they were resolved -->
+| Issue | Resolution |
+|-------|------------|
+|       |            |
+
+## Resources
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: URLs, file paths, API references, documentation links you've found useful.
+  WHY: Easy reference for later. Don't lose important links in context.
+  WHEN: Add as you discover useful resources.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Python argparse docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html
+    - Project structure: src/main.py, src/utils.py
+-->
+<!-- URLs, file paths, API references -->
+-
+
+## Visual/Browser Findings
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Information you learned from viewing images, PDFs, or browser results.
+  WHY: CRITICAL - Visual/multimodal content doesn't persist in context. Must be captured as text.
+  WHEN: IMMEDIATELY after viewing images or browser results. Don't wait!
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Screenshot shows login form has email and password fields
+    - Browser shows API returns JSON with "status" and "data" keys
+-->
+<!-- CRITICAL: Update after every 2 view/browser operations -->
+<!-- Multimodal content must be captured as text immediately -->

+description: Implements Manus-style file-based planning for complex tasks. Creates task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. Use when starting complex multi-step tasks, research projects, or any task requiring >5 tool calls.
+---
+
+# Planning with Files
+
+Work like Manus: Use persistent markdown files as your "working memory on disk."
+
+## Important: Where Files Go
+
+- **Templates** are in this skill's `templates/` folder
+- **Your planning files** go in **your project directory**
+
+| Location | What Goes There |
+|----------|-----------------|
+| Skill directory | Templates, scripts, reference docs |
+| Your project directory | `task_plan.md`, `findings.md`, `progress.md` |
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Before ANY complex task:
+
+1. **Create `task_plan.md`** — Use [templates/task_plan.md](templates/task_plan.md) as reference
+2. **Create `findings.md`** — Use [templates/findings.md](templates/findings.md) as reference
+3. **Create `progress.md`** — Use [templates/progress.md](templates/progress.md) as reference
+4. **Re-read plan before decisions** — Refreshes goals in attention window
+5. **Update after each phase** — Mark complete, log errors
+
+> **Note:** Planning files go in your project root, not the skill installation folder.
+
+## The Core Pattern
+
+```
+Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
+Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
+
+→ Anything important gets written to disk.
+```
+
+## File Purposes
+
+| File | Purpose | When to Update |
+|------|---------|----------------|
+| `task_plan.md` | Phases, progress, decisions | After each phase |
+| `findings.md` | Research, discoveries | After ANY discovery |
+| `progress.md` | Session log, test results | Throughout session |
+
+## Critical Rules

+### 1. Create Plan First
+Never start a complex task without `task_plan.md`. Non-negotiable.
+
+### 2. The 2-Action Rule
+> "After every 2 view/browser/search operations, IMMEDIATELY save key findings to text files."
+
+This prevents visual/multimodal information from being lost.
+
+### 3. Read Before Decide
+Before major decisions, read the plan file. This keeps goals in your attention window.
+
+### 4. Update After Act
+After completing any phase:
+- Mark phase status: `in_progress` → `complete`
+- Log any errors encountered
+- Note files created/modified
+
+### 5. Log ALL Errors
+Every error goes in the plan file. This builds knowledge and prevents repetition.
+
+```markdown
+## Errors Encountered
+| Error | Attempt | Resolution |
+|-------|---------|------------|
+| FileNotFoundError | 1 | Created default config |
+| API timeout | 2 | Added retry logic |
+```
+
+### 6. Never Repeat Failures
+```
+if action_failed:
+    next_action != same_action
+```
+Track what you tried. Mutate the approach.
+
+## The 3-Strike Error Protocol
+
+```
+ATTEMPT 1: Diagnose & Fix
+  → Read error carefully
+  → Identify root cause
+  → Apply targeted fix
+
+ATTEMPT 2: Alternative Approach
+  → Same error? Try different method
+  → Different tool? Different library?
+  → NEVER repeat exact same failing action
+
+ATTEMPT 3: Broader Rethink
+  → Question assumptions
+  → Search for solutions
+  → Consider updating the plan
+
+AFTER 3 FAILURES: Escalate to User
+  → Explain what you tried
+  → Share the specific error
+  → Ask for guidance
+```
+
+## Read vs Write Decision Matrix
+
+| Situation | Action | Reason |
+|-----------|--------|--------|
+| Just wrote a file | DON'T read | Content still in context |
+| Viewed image/PDF | Write findings NOW | Multimodal → text before lost |
+| Browser returned data | Write to file | Screenshots don't persist |
+| Starting new phase | Read plan/findings | Re-orient if context stale |
+| Error occurred | Read relevant file | Need current state to fix |
+| Resuming after gap | Read all planning files | Recover state |
+
+## The 5-Question Reboot Test
+
+If you can answer these, your context management is solid:
+
+| Question | Answer Source |
+|----------|---------------|
+| Where am I? | Current phase in task_plan.md |
+| Where am I going? | Remaining phases |
+| What's the goal? | Goal statement in plan |
+| What have I learned? | findings.md |
+| What have I done? | progress.md |
+
+## When to Use This Pattern
+
+**Use for:**
+- Multi-step tasks (3+ steps)
+- Research tasks
+- Building/creating projects
+- Tasks spanning many tool calls
+- Anything requiring organization
+
+**Skip for:**
+- Simple questions
+- Single-file edits
+- Quick lookups
+
+## Templates
+
+Copy these templates to start:
+
+- [templates/task_plan.md](templates/task_plan.md) — Phase tracking
+- [templates/findings.md](templates/findings.md) — Research storage
+- [templates/progress.md](templates/progress.md) — Session logging
+
+## Scripts
+
+Helper scripts for automation:
+
+- `scripts/init-session.sh` — Initialize all planning files
+- `scripts/check-complete.sh` — Verify all phases complete
+
+## Advanced Topics
+
+- **Manus Principles:** See [references/reference.md](references/reference.md)
+- **Real Examples:** See [references/examples.md](references/examples.md)
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+| Don't | Do Instead |
+|-------|------------|
+| State goals once and forget | Re-read plan before decisions |
+| Hide errors and retry silently | Log errors to plan file |
+| Stuff everything in context | Store large content in files |
+| Start executing immediately | Create plan file FIRST |
+| Repeat failed actions | Track attempts, mutate approach |
+| Create files in skill directory | Create files in your project |

+# Examples: Planning with Files in Action
+
+## Example 1: Research Task
+
+**User Request:** "Research the benefits of morning exercise and write a summary"
+
+### Loop 1: Create Plan
+```bash
+Write task_plan.md
+```
+
+```markdown
+# Task Plan: Morning Exercise Benefits Research
+
+## Goal
+Create a research summary on the benefits of morning exercise.
+
+## Phases
+- [ ] Phase 1: Create this plan ✓
+- [ ] Phase 2: Search and gather sources
+- [ ] Phase 3: Synthesize findings
+- [ ] Phase 4: Deliver summary
+
+## Key Questions
+1. What are the physical health benefits?
+2. What are the mental health benefits?
+3. What scientific studies support this?
+
+## Status
+**Currently in Phase 1** - Creating plan
+```
+
+### Loop 2: Research
+```bash
+Read task_plan.md           # Refresh goals
+WebSearch "morning exercise benefits"
+Write notes.md              # Store findings
+Edit task_plan.md           # Mark Phase 2 complete
+```
+
+### Loop 3: Synthesize
+```bash
+Read task_plan.md           # Refresh goals
+Read notes.md               # Get findings
+Write morning_exercise_summary.md
+Edit task_plan.md           # Mark Phase 3 complete
+```
+
+### Loop 4: Deliver
+```bash
+Read task_plan.md           # Verify complete
+Deliver morning_exercise_summary.md
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example 2: Bug Fix Task
+
+**User Request:** "Fix the login bug in the authentication module"
+
+### task_plan.md
+```markdown
+# Task Plan: Fix Login Bug
+
+## Goal
+Identify and fix the bug preventing successful login.
+
+## Phases
+- [x] Phase 1: Understand the bug report ✓
+- [x] Phase 2: Locate relevant code ✓
+- [ ] Phase 3: Identify root cause (CURRENT)
+- [ ] Phase 4: Implement fix
+- [ ] Phase 5: Test and verify
+
+## Key Questions
+1. What error message appears?
+2. Which file handles authentication?
+3. What changed recently?
+
+## Decisions Made
+- Auth handler is in src/auth/login.ts
+- Error occurs in validateToken() function
+
+## Errors Encountered
+- [Initial] TypeError: Cannot read property 'token' of undefined
+  → Root cause: user object not awaited properly
+
+## Status
+**Currently in Phase 3** - Found root cause, preparing fix
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example 3: Feature Development
+
+**User Request:** "Add a dark mode toggle to the settings page"
+
+### The 3-File Pattern in Action
+
+**task_plan.md:**
+```markdown
+# Task Plan: Dark Mode Toggle
+
+## Goal
+Add functional dark mode toggle to settings.
+
+## Phases
+- [x] Phase 1: Research existing theme system ✓
+- [x] Phase 2: Design implementation approach ✓
+- [ ] Phase 3: Implement toggle component (CURRENT)
+- [ ] Phase 4: Add theme switching logic
+- [ ] Phase 5: Test and polish
+
+## Decisions Made
+- Using CSS custom properties for theme
+- Storing preference in localStorage
+- Toggle component in SettingsPage.tsx
+
+## Status
+**Currently in Phase 3** - Building toggle component
+```
+
+**notes.md:**
+```markdown
+# Notes: Dark Mode Implementation
+
+## Existing Theme System
+- Located in: src/styles/theme.ts
+- Uses: CSS custom properties
+- Current themes: light only
+
+## Files to Modify
+1. src/styles/theme.ts - Add dark theme colors
+2. src/components/SettingsPage.tsx - Add toggle
+3. src/hooks/useTheme.ts - Create new hook
+4. src/App.tsx - Wrap with ThemeProvider
+
+## Color Decisions
+- Dark background: #1a1a2e
+- Dark surface: #16213e
+- Dark text: #eaeaea
+```
+
+**dark_mode_implementation.md:** (deliverable)
+```markdown
+# Dark Mode Implementation
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Added dark theme colors
+File: src/styles/theme.ts
+...
+
+### 2. Created useTheme hook
+File: src/hooks/useTheme.ts
+...
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example 4: Error Recovery Pattern
+
+When something fails, DON'T hide it:
+
+### Before (Wrong)
+```
+Action: Read config.json
+Error: File not found
+Action: Read config.json  # Silent retry
+Action: Read config.json  # Another retry
+```
+
+### After (Correct)
+```
+Action: Read config.json
+Error: File not found
+
+# Update task_plan.md:
+## Errors Encountered
+- config.json not found → Will create default config
+
+Action: Write config.json (default config)
+Action: Read config.json
+Success!
+```
+
+---
+
+## The Read-Before-Decide Pattern
+
+**Always read your plan before major decisions:**
+
+```
+[Many tool calls have happened...]
+[Context is getting long...]
+[Original goal might be forgotten...]
+
+→ Read task_plan.md          # This brings goals back into attention!
+→ Now make the decision       # Goals are fresh in context
+```
+
+This is why Manus can handle ~50 tool calls without losing track. The plan file acts as a "goal refresh" mechanism.

+# Reference: Manus Context Engineering Principles
+
+This skill is based on context engineering principles from Manus, the AI agent company acquired by Meta for $2 billion in December 2025.
+
+## The 6 Manus Principles
+
+### Principle 1: Design Around KV-Cache
+
+> "KV-cache hit rate is THE single most important metric for production AI agents."
+
+**Statistics:**
+- ~100:1 input-to-output token ratio
+- Cached tokens: $0.30/MTok vs Uncached: $3/MTok
+- 10x cost difference!
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Keep prompt prefixes STABLE (single-token change invalidates cache)
+- NO timestamps in system prompts
+- Make context APPEND-ONLY with deterministic serialization
+
+### Principle 2: Mask, Don't Remove
+
+Don't dynamically remove tools (breaks KV-cache). Use logit masking instead.
+
+**Best Practice:** Use consistent action prefixes (e.g., `browser_`, `shell_`, `file_`) for easier masking.
+
+### Principle 3: Filesystem as External Memory
+
+> "Markdown is my 'working memory' on disk."
+
+**The Formula:**
+```
+Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
+Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
+```
+
+**Compression Must Be Restorable:**
+- Keep URLs even if web content is dropped
+- Keep file paths when dropping document contents
+- Never lose the pointer to full data
+
+### Principle 4: Manipulate Attention Through Recitation
+
+> "Creates and updates todo.md throughout tasks to push global plan into model's recent attention span."
+
+**Problem:** After ~50 tool calls, models forget original goals ("lost in the middle" effect).
+
+**Solution:** Re-read `task_plan.md` before each decision. Goals appear in the attention window.
+
+```
+Start of context: [Original goal - far away, forgotten]
+...many tool calls...
+End of context: [Recently read task_plan.md - gets ATTENTION!]
+```
+
+### Principle 5: Keep the Wrong Stuff In
+
+> "Leave the wrong turns in the context."
+
+**Why:**
+- Failed actions with stack traces let model implicitly update beliefs
+- Reduces mistake repetition
+- Error recovery is "one of the clearest signals of TRUE agentic behavior"
+
+### Principle 6: Don't Get Few-Shotted
+
+> "Uniformity breeds fragility."
+
+**Problem:** Repetitive action-observation pairs cause drift and hallucination.
+
+**Solution:** Introduce controlled variation:
+- Vary phrasings slightly
+- Don't copy-paste patterns blindly
+- Recalibrate on repetitive tasks
+
+---
+
+## The 3 Context Engineering Strategies
+
+Based on Lance Martin's analysis of Manus architecture.
+
+### Strategy 1: Context Reduction
+
+**Compaction:**
+```
+Tool calls have TWO representations:
+├── FULL: Raw tool content (stored in filesystem)
+└── COMPACT: Reference/file path only
+
+RULES:
+- Apply compaction to STALE (older) tool results
+- Keep RECENT results FULL (to guide next decision)
+```
+
+**Summarization:**
+- Applied when compaction reaches diminishing returns
+- Generated using full tool results
+- Creates standardized summary objects
+
+### Strategy 2: Context Isolation (Multi-Agent)
+
+**Architecture:**
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────┐
+│         PLANNER AGENT           │
+│  └─ Assigns tasks to sub-agents │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│       KNOWLEDGE MANAGER         │
+│  └─ Reviews conversations       │
+│  └─ Determines filesystem store │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│      EXECUTOR SUB-AGENTS        │
+│  └─ Perform assigned tasks      │
+│  └─ Have own context windows    │
+└─────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Key Insight:** Manus originally used `todo.md` for task planning but found ~33% of actions were spent updating it. Shifted to dedicated planner agent calling executor sub-agents.
+
+### Strategy 3: Context Offloading
+
+**Tool Design:**
+- Use <20 atomic functions total
+- Store full results in filesystem, not context
+- Use `glob` and `grep` for searching
+- Progressive disclosure: load information only as needed
+
+---
+
+## The Agent Loop
+
+Manus operates in a continuous 7-step loop:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  1. ANALYZE CONTEXT                      │
+│     - Understand user intent             │
+│     - Assess current state               │
+│     - Review recent observations         │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  2. THINK                                │
+│     - Should I update the plan?          │
+│     - What's the next logical action?    │
+│     - Are there blockers?                │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  3. SELECT TOOL                          │
+│     - Choose ONE tool                    │
+│     - Ensure parameters available        │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  4. EXECUTE ACTION                       │
+│     - Tool runs in sandbox               │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  5. RECEIVE OBSERVATION                  │
+│     - Result appended to context         │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  6. ITERATE                              │
+│     - Return to step 1                   │
+│     - Continue until complete            │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  7. DELIVER OUTCOME                      │
+│     - Send results to user               │
+│     - Attach all relevant files          │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```

+## File Types Manus Creates
+
+| File | Purpose | When Created | When Updated |
+|------|---------|--------------|--------------|
+| `task_plan.md` | Phase tracking, progress | Task start | After completing phases |
+| `findings.md` | Discoveries, decisions | After ANY discovery | After viewing images/PDFs |
+| `progress.md` | Session log, what's done | At breakpoints | Throughout session |
+| Code files | Implementation | Before execution | After errors |
+
+---
+
+## Critical Constraints
+
+- **Single-Action Execution:** ONE tool call per turn. No parallel execution.
+- **Plan is Required:** Agent must ALWAYS know: goal, current phase, remaining phases
+- **Files are Memory:** Context = volatile. Filesystem = persistent.
+- **Never Repeat Failures:** If action failed, next action MUST be different
+- **Communication is a Tool:** Message types: `info` (progress), `ask` (blocking), `result` (terminal)
+
+---
+
+## Manus Statistics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Average tool calls per task | ~50 |
+| Input-to-output token ratio | 100:1 |
+| Acquisition price | $2 billion |
+| Time to $100M revenue | 8 months |
+| Framework refactors since launch | 5 times |
+
+---
+
+## Key Quotes
+
+> "Context window = RAM (volatile, limited). Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited). Anything important gets written to disk."
+
+> "if action_failed: next_action != same_action. Track what you tried. Mutate the approach."
+
+> "Error recovery is one of the clearest signals of TRUE agentic behavior."
+
+> "KV-cache hit rate is the single most important metric for a production-stage AI agent."

+# Findings & Decisions
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Your knowledge base for the task. Stores everything you discover and decide.
+  WHY: Context windows are limited. This file is your "external memory" - persistent and unlimited.
+  WHEN: Update after ANY discovery, especially after 2 view/browser/search operations (2-Action Rule).
+-->
+
+## Requirements
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: What the user asked for, broken down into specific requirements.
+  WHY: Keeps requirements visible so you don't forget what you're building.
+  WHEN: Fill this in during Phase 1 (Requirements & Discovery).
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Command-line interface
+    - Add tasks
+    - List all tasks
+    - Delete tasks
+    - Python implementation
+-->
+<!-- Captured from user request -->
+-
+
+## Research Findings
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Key discoveries from web searches, documentation reading, or exploration.
+  WHY: Multimodal content (images, browser results) doesn't persist. Write it down immediately.
+  WHEN: After EVERY 2 view/browser/search operations, update this section (2-Action Rule).
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Python's argparse module supports subcommands for clean CLI design
+    - JSON module handles file persistence easily
+    - Standard pattern: python script.py <command> [args]
+-->
+<!-- Key discoveries during exploration -->
+-
+
+## Technical Decisions
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Architecture and implementation choices you've made, with reasoning.
+  WHY: You'll forget why you chose a technology or approach. This table preserves that knowledge.
+  WHEN: Update whenever you make a significant technical choice.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    | Use JSON for storage | Simple, human-readable, built-in Python support |
+    | argparse with subcommands | Clean CLI: python todo.py add "task" |
+-->
+<!-- Decisions made with rationale -->
+| Decision | Rationale |

+|          |           |
+
+## Issues Encountered
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Problems you ran into and how you solved them.
+  WHY: Similar to errors in task_plan.md, but focused on broader issues (not just code errors).
+  WHEN: Document when you encounter blockers or unexpected challenges.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    | Empty file causes JSONDecodeError | Added explicit empty file check before json.load() |
+-->
+<!-- Errors and how they were resolved -->
+| Issue | Resolution |
+|-------|------------|
+|       |            |
+
+## Resources
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: URLs, file paths, API references, documentation links you've found useful.
+  WHY: Easy reference for later. Don't lose important links in context.
+  WHEN: Add as you discover useful resources.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Python argparse docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html
+    - Project structure: src/main.py, src/utils.py
+-->
+<!-- URLs, file paths, API references -->
+-
+
+## Visual/Browser Findings
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Information you learned from viewing images, PDFs, or browser results.
+  WHY: CRITICAL - Visual/multimodal content doesn't persist in context. Must be captured as text.
+  WHEN: IMMEDIATELY after viewing images or browser results. Don't wait!
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Screenshot shows login form has email and password fields
+    - Browser shows API returns JSON with "status" and "data" keys
+-->

+# 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:
+
+```bash
+python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/session-catchup.py "$(pwd)"
+```
+
+If catchup report shows unsynced context:
+1. Run `git diff --stat` to see actual code changes
+2. Read current planning files
+3. Update planning files based on catchup + git diff
+4. 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:
+
+1. **Create `task_plan.md`** — Use [templates/task_plan.md](templates/task_plan.md) as reference
+2. **Create `findings.md`** — Use [templates/findings.md](templates/findings.md) as reference
+3. **Create `progress.md`** — Use [templates/progress.md](templates/progress.md) as reference
+4. **Re-read plan before decisions** — Refreshes goals in attention window
+5. **Update after each phase** — Mark complete, log errors
+
+> **Note:** Planning files go in your project root, not the skill installation folder.
+
+## The Core Pattern
+
+```
+Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
+Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
+
+→ Anything important gets written to disk.
+```
+
+## File Purposes
+
+| File | Purpose | When to Update |
+|------|---------|----------------|
+| `task_plan.md` | Phases, progress, decisions | After each phase |
+| `findings.md` | Research, discoveries | After ANY discovery |
+| `progress.md` | Session log, test results | Throughout session |
+
+## Critical Rules
+
+### 1. Create Plan First
+Never start a complex task without `task_plan.md`. Non-negotiable.
+
+### 2. The 2-Action Rule
+> "After every 2 view/browser/search operations, IMMEDIATELY save key findings to text files."
+
+This prevents visual/multimodal information from being lost.
+
+### 3. Read Before Decide
+Before major decisions, read the plan file. This keeps goals in your attention window.
+
+### 4. Update After Act
+After completing any phase:
+- Mark phase status: `in_progress` → `complete`
+- Log any errors encountered
+- Note files created/modified
+
+### 5. Log ALL Errors
+Every error goes in the plan file. This builds knowledge and prevents repetition.
+
+```markdown
+## Errors Encountered
+| Error | Attempt | Resolution |
+|-------|---------|------------|
+| FileNotFoundError | 1 | Created default config |
+| API timeout | 2 | Added retry logic |
+```
+
+### 6. Never Repeat Failures
+```
+if action_failed:
+    next_action != same_action
+```
+Track what you tried. Mutate the approach.
+
+## The 3-Strike Error Protocol
+
+```
+ATTEMPT 1: Diagnose & Fix
+  → Read error carefully
+  → Identify root cause
+  → Apply targeted fix
+
+ATTEMPT 2: Alternative Approach
+  → Same error? Try different method
+  → Different tool? Different library?
+  → NEVER repeat exact same failing action
+
+ATTEMPT 3: Broader Rethink
+  → Question assumptions
+  → Search for solutions
+  → Consider updating the plan
+
+AFTER 3 FAILURES: Escalate to User
+  → Explain what you tried
+  → Share the specific error
+  → Ask for guidance
+```
+
+## Read vs Write Decision Matrix
+
+| Situation | Action | Reason |
+|-----------|--------|--------|
+| Just wrote a file | DON'T read | Content still in context |
+| Viewed image/PDF | Write findings NOW | Multimodal → text before lost |
+| Browser returned data | Write to file | Screenshots don't persist |
+| Starting new phase | Read plan/findings | Re-orient if context stale |
+| Error occurred | Read relevant file | Need current state to fix |
+| Resuming after gap | Read all planning files | Recover state |
+
+## The 5-Question Reboot Test
+
+If you can answer these, your context management is solid:
+
+| Question | Answer Source |
+|----------|---------------|
+| Where am I? | Current phase in task_plan.md |
+| Where am I going? | Remaining phases |
+| What's the goal? | Goal statement in plan |
+| What have I learned? | findings.md |
+| What have I done? | progress.md |
+
+## When to Use This Pattern
+
+**Use for:**
+- Multi-step tasks (3+ steps)
+- Research tasks
+- Building/creating projects
+- Tasks spanning many tool calls
+- Anything requiring organization
+
+**Skip for:**
+- Simple questions
+- Single-file edits
+- Quick lookups
+
+## Templates
+
+Copy these templates to start:
+
+- [templates/task_plan.md](templates/task_plan.md) — Phase tracking
+- [templates/findings.md](templates/findings.md) — Research storage
+- [templates/progress.md](templates/progress.md) — Session logging
+
+## Scripts
+
+Helper scripts for automation:
+
+- `scripts/init-session.sh` — Initialize all planning files
+- `scripts/check-complete.sh` — Verify all phases complete
+- `scripts/session-catchup.py` — Recover context from previous session (v2.2.0)
+
+## Advanced Topics
+
+- **Manus Principles:** See [reference.md](reference.md)
+- **Real Examples:** See [examples.md](examples.md)
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+| Don't | Do Instead |
+|-------|------------|
+| Use TodoWrite for persistence | Create task_plan.md file |
+| State goals once and forget | Re-read plan before decisions |
+| Hide errors and retry silently | Log errors to plan file |
+| Stuff everything in context | Store large content in files |
+| Start executing immediately | Create plan file FIRST |
+| Repeat failed actions | Track attempts, mutate approach |
+| Create files in skill directory | Create files in your project |

+## Example 4: Error Recovery Pattern
+
+When something fails, DON'T hide it:
+
+### Before (Wrong)
+```
+Action: Read config.json
+Error: File not found
+Action: Read config.json  # Silent retry
+Action: Read config.json  # Another retry
+```
+
+### After (Correct)
+```
+Action: Read config.json
+Error: File not found
+
+# Update task_plan.md:
+## Errors Encountered
+- config.json not found → Will create default config
+
+Action: Write config.json (default config)
+Action: Read config.json
+Success!
+```
+
+---
+
+## The Read-Before-Decide Pattern
+
+**Always read your plan before major decisions:**
+
+```
+[Many tool calls have happened...]
+[Context is getting long...]
+[Original goal might be forgotten...]
+
+→ Read task_plan.md          # This brings goals back into attention!
+→ Now make the decision       # Goals are fresh in context
+```
+
+This is why Manus can handle ~50 tool calls without losing track. The plan file acts as a "goal refresh" mechanism.

+# Reference: Manus Context Engineering Principles
+
+This skill is based on context engineering principles from Manus, the AI agent company acquired by Meta for $2 billion in December 2025.
+
+## The 6 Manus Principles
+
+### Principle 1: Design Around KV-Cache
+
+> "KV-cache hit rate is THE single most important metric for production AI agents."
+
+**Statistics:**
+- ~100:1 input-to-output token ratio
+- Cached tokens: $0.30/MTok vs Uncached: $3/MTok
+- 10x cost difference!
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Keep prompt prefixes STABLE (single-token change invalidates cache)
+- NO timestamps in system prompts
+- Make context APPEND-ONLY with deterministic serialization
+
+### Principle 2: Mask, Don't Remove
+
+Don't dynamically remove tools (breaks KV-cache). Use logit masking instead.
+
+**Best Practice:** Use consistent action prefixes (e.g., `browser_`, `shell_`, `file_`) for easier masking.
+
+### Principle 3: Filesystem as External Memory
+
+> "Markdown is my 'working memory' on disk."
+
+**The Formula:**
+```
+Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
+Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
+```
+
+**Compression Must Be Restorable:**
+- Keep URLs even if web content is dropped
+- Keep file paths when dropping document contents
+- Never lose the pointer to full data
+
+### Principle 4: Manipulate Attention Through Recitation
+
+> "Creates and updates todo.md throughout tasks to push global plan into model's recent attention span."
+
+**Problem:** After ~50 tool calls, models forget original goals ("lost in the middle" effect).
+
+**Solution:** Re-read `task_plan.md` before each decision. Goals appear in the attention window.
+
+```
+Start of context: [Original goal - far away, forgotten]
+...many tool calls...
+End of context: [Recently read task_plan.md - gets ATTENTION!]
+```
+
+### Principle 5: Keep the Wrong Stuff In
+
+> "Leave the wrong turns in the context."
+
+**Why:**
+- Failed actions with stack traces let model implicitly update beliefs
+- Reduces mistake repetition
+- Error recovery is "one of the clearest signals of TRUE agentic behavior"
+
+### Principle 6: Don't Get Few-Shotted
+
+> "Uniformity breeds fragility."
+
+**Problem:** Repetitive action-observation pairs cause drift and hallucination.
+
+**Solution:** Introduce controlled variation:
+- Vary phrasings slightly
+- Don't copy-paste patterns blindly
+- Recalibrate on repetitive tasks
+
+---
+
+## The 3 Context Engineering Strategies
+
+Based on Lance Martin's analysis of Manus architecture.
+
+### Strategy 1: Context Reduction
+
+**Compaction:**
+```
+Tool calls have TWO representations:
+├── FULL: Raw tool content (stored in filesystem)
+└── COMPACT: Reference/file path only
+
+RULES:
+- Apply compaction to STALE (older) tool results
+- Keep RECENT results FULL (to guide next decision)
+```
+
+**Summarization:**
+- Applied when compaction reaches diminishing returns
+- Generated using full tool results
+- Creates standardized summary objects
+
+### Strategy 2: Context Isolation (Multi-Agent)
+
+**Architecture:**
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────┐
+│         PLANNER AGENT           │
+│  └─ Assigns tasks to sub-agents │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│       KNOWLEDGE MANAGER         │
+│  └─ Reviews conversations       │
+│  └─ Determines filesystem store │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│      EXECUTOR SUB-AGENTS        │
+│  └─ Perform assigned tasks      │
+│  └─ Have own context windows    │
+└─────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Key Insight:** Manus originally used `todo.md` for task planning but found ~33% of actions were spent updating it. Shifted to dedicated planner agent calling executor sub-agents.
+
+### Strategy 3: Context Offloading
+
+**Tool Design:**
+- Use <20 atomic functions total
+- Store full results in filesystem, not context
+- Use `glob` and `grep` for searching
+- Progressive disclosure: load information only as needed
+
+---
+
+## The Agent Loop
+
+Manus operates in a continuous 7-step loop:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  1. ANALYZE CONTEXT                      │
+│     - Understand user intent             │
+│     - Assess current state               │
+│     - Review recent observations         │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  2. THINK                                │
+│     - Should I update the plan?          │
+│     - What's the next logical action?    │
+│     - Are there blockers?                │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  3. SELECT TOOL                          │
+│     - Choose ONE tool                    │
+│     - Ensure parameters available        │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  4. EXECUTE ACTION                       │
+│     - Tool runs in sandbox               │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  5. RECEIVE OBSERVATION                  │
+│     - Result appended to context         │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  6. ITERATE                              │
+│     - Return to step 1                   │
+│     - Continue until complete            │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  7. DELIVER OUTCOME                      │
+│     - Send results to user               │
+│     - Attach all relevant files          │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────┘

+## File Types Manus Creates
+
+| File | Purpose | When Created | When Updated |
+|------|---------|--------------|--------------|
+| `task_plan.md` | Phase tracking, progress | Task start | After completing phases |
+| `findings.md` | Discoveries, decisions | After ANY discovery | After viewing images/PDFs |
+| `progress.md` | Session log, what's done | At breakpoints | Throughout session |
+| Code files | Implementation | Before execution | After errors |
+
+---
+
+## Critical Constraints
+
+- **Single-Action Execution:** ONE tool call per turn. No parallel execution.
+- **Plan is Required:** Agent must ALWAYS know: goal, current phase, remaining phases
+- **Files are Memory:** Context = volatile. Filesystem = persistent.
+- **Never Repeat Failures:** If action failed, next action MUST be different
+- **Communication is a Tool:** Message types: `info` (progress), `ask` (blocking), `result` (terminal)
+
+---
+
+## Manus Statistics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Average tool calls per task | ~50 |
+| Input-to-output token ratio | 100:1 |
+| Acquisition price | $2 billion |
+| Time to $100M revenue | 8 months |
+| Framework refactors since launch | 5 times |
+
+---
+
+## Key Quotes
+
+> "Context window = RAM (volatile, limited). Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited). Anything important gets written to disk."
+
+> "if action_failed: next_action != same_action. Track what you tried. Mutate the approach."
+
+> "Error recovery is one of the clearest signals of TRUE agentic behavior."
+
+> "KV-cache hit rate is the single most important metric for a production-stage AI agent."
+
+> "Leave the wrong turns in the context."

+# Findings & Decisions
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Your knowledge base for the task. Stores everything you discover and decide.
+  WHY: Context windows are limited. This file is your "external memory" - persistent and unlimited.
+  WHEN: Update after ANY discovery, especially after 2 view/browser/search operations (2-Action Rule).
+-->
+
+## Requirements
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: What the user asked for, broken down into specific requirements.
+  WHY: Keeps requirements visible so you don't forget what you're building.
+  WHEN: Fill this in during Phase 1 (Requirements & Discovery).
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Command-line interface
+    - Add tasks
+    - List all tasks
+    - Delete tasks
+    - Python implementation
+-->
+<!-- Captured from user request -->
+-
+
+## Research Findings
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Key discoveries from web searches, documentation reading, or exploration.
+  WHY: Multimodal content (images, browser results) doesn't persist. Write it down immediately.
+  WHEN: After EVERY 2 view/browser/search operations, update this section (2-Action Rule).
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Python's argparse module supports subcommands for clean CLI design
+    - JSON module handles file persistence easily
+    - Standard pattern: python script.py <command> [args]
+-->
+<!-- Key discoveries during exploration -->
+-
+
+## Technical Decisions
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Architecture and implementation choices you've made, with reasoning.
+  WHY: You'll forget why you chose a technology or approach. This table preserves that knowledge.
+  WHEN: Update whenever you make a significant technical choice.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    | Use JSON for storage | Simple, human-readable, built-in Python support |
+    | argparse with subcommands | Clean CLI: python todo.py add "task" |
+-->
+<!-- Decisions made with rationale -->
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+|          |           |
+
+## Issues Encountered
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Problems you ran into and how you solved them.
+  WHY: Similar to errors in task_plan.md, but focused on broader issues (not just code errors).
+  WHEN: Document when you encounter blockers or unexpected challenges.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    | Empty file causes JSONDecodeError | Added explicit empty file check before json.load() |
+-->
+<!-- Errors and how they were resolved -->
+| Issue | Resolution |
+|-------|------------|
+|       |            |
+
+## Resources
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: URLs, file paths, API references, documentation links you've found useful.
+  WHY: Easy reference for later. Don't lose important links in context.
+  WHEN: Add as you discover useful resources.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Python argparse docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html
+    - Project structure: src/main.py, src/utils.py
+-->
+<!-- URLs, file paths, API references -->
+-
+
+## Visual/Browser Findings
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Information you learned from viewing images, PDFs, or browser results.
+  WHY: CRITICAL - Visual/multimodal content doesn't persist in context. Must be captured as text.
+  WHEN: IMMEDIATELY after viewing images or browser results. Don't wait!
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Screenshot shows login form has email and password fields
+    - Browser shows API returns JSON with "status" and "data" keys

+## FIRST: Check for Previous Session (v2.2.0)
+
+**Before starting work**, check for unsynced context from a previous session:
+
+```bash
+python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/session-catchup.py "$(pwd)"
+```
+
+If catchup report shows unsynced context:
+1. Run `git diff --stat` to see actual code changes
+2. Read current planning files
+3. Update planning files based on catchup + git diff
+4. 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:
+
+1. **Create `task_plan.md`** — Use [templates/task_plan.md](templates/task_plan.md) as reference
+2. **Create `findings.md`** — Use [templates/findings.md](templates/findings.md) as reference
+3. **Create `progress.md`** — Use [templates/progress.md](templates/progress.md) as reference
+4. **Re-read plan before decisions** — Refreshes goals in attention window
+5. **Update after each phase** — Mark complete, log errors
+
+> **Note:** Planning files go in your project root, not the skill installation folder.
+
+## The Core Pattern
+
+```
+Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
+Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
+
+→ Anything important gets written to disk.
+```
+
+## File Purposes
+
+| File | Purpose | When to Update |
+|------|---------|----------------|
+| `task_plan.md` | Phases, progress, decisions | After each phase |
+| `findings.md` | Research, discoveries | After ANY discovery |
+| `progress.md` | Session log, test results | Throughout session |
+
+## Critical Rules
+
+### 1. Create Plan First
+Never start a complex task without `task_plan.md`. Non-negotiable.
+
+### 2. The 2-Action Rule
+> "After every 2 view/browser/search operations, IMMEDIATELY save key findings to text files."
+
+This prevents visual/multimodal information from being lost.
+
+### 3. Read Before Decide
+Before major decisions, read the plan file. This keeps goals in your attention window.
+
+### 4. Update After Act
+After completing any phase:
+- Mark phase status: `in_progress` → `complete`
+- Log any errors encountered
+- Note files created/modified
+
+### 5. Log ALL Errors
+Every error goes in the plan file. This builds knowledge and prevents repetition.
+
+```markdown
+## Errors Encountered
+| Error | Attempt | Resolution |
+|-------|---------|------------|
+| FileNotFoundError | 1 | Created default config |
+| API timeout | 2 | Added retry logic |
+```
+
+### 6. Never Repeat Failures
+```
+if action_failed:
+    next_action != same_action
+```
+Track what you tried. Mutate the approach.
+
+## The 3-Strike Error Protocol
+
+```
+ATTEMPT 1: Diagnose & Fix
+  → Read error carefully
+  → Identify root cause
+  → Apply targeted fix
+
+ATTEMPT 2: Alternative Approach
+  → Same error? Try different method
+  → Different tool? Different library?
+  → NEVER repeat exact same failing action
+
+ATTEMPT 3: Broader Rethink
+  → Question assumptions
+  → Search for solutions
+  → Consider updating the plan
+
+AFTER 3 FAILURES: Escalate to User
+  → Explain what you tried
+  → Share the specific error
+  → Ask for guidance
+```
+
+## Read vs Write Decision Matrix
+
+| Situation | Action | Reason |
+|-----------|--------|--------|
+| Just wrote a file | DON'T read | Content still in context |
+| Viewed image/PDF | Write findings NOW | Multimodal → text before lost |
+| Browser returned data | Write to file | Screenshots don't persist |
+| Starting new phase | Read plan/findings | Re-orient if context stale |
+| Error occurred | Read relevant file | Need current state to fix |
+| Resuming after gap | Read all planning files | Recover state |
+
+## The 5-Question Reboot Test
+
+If you can answer these, your context management is solid:
+
+| Question | Answer Source |
+|----------|---------------|
+| Where am I? | Current phase in task_plan.md |
+| Where am I going? | Remaining phases |
+| What's the goal? | Goal statement in plan |
+| What have I learned? | findings.md |
+| What have I done? | progress.md |
+
+## When to Use This Pattern
+
+**Use for:**
+- Multi-step tasks (3+ steps)
+- Research tasks
+- Building/creating projects
+- Tasks spanning many tool calls
+- Anything requiring organization
+
+**Skip for:**
+- Simple questions
+- Single-file edits
+- Quick lookups
+
+## Templates
+
+Copy these templates to start:
+
+- [templates/task_plan.md](templates/task_plan.md) — Phase tracking
+- [templates/findings.md](templates/findings.md) — Research storage
+- [templates/progress.md](templates/progress.md) — Session logging
+
+## Scripts
+
+Helper scripts for automation:
+
+- `scripts/init-session.sh` — Initialize all planning files
+- `scripts/check-complete.sh` — Verify all phases complete
+- `scripts/session-catchup.py` — Recover context from previous session (v2.2.0)
+
+## Advanced Topics
+
+- **Manus Principles:** See [reference.md](reference.md)
+- **Real Examples:** See [examples.md](examples.md)
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+| Don't | Do Instead |
+|-------|------------|
+| Use TodoWrite for persistence | Create task_plan.md file |
+| State goals once and forget | Re-read plan before decisions |
+| Hide errors and retry silently | Log errors to plan file |
+| Stuff everything in context | Store large content in files |
+| Start executing immediately | Create plan file FIRST |
+| Repeat failed actions | Track attempts, mutate approach |
+| Create files in skill directory | Create files in your project |

+
+## Example 1: Research Task
+
+**User Request:** "Research the benefits of morning exercise and write a summary"
+
+### Loop 1: Create Plan
+```bash
+Write task_plan.md
+```
+
+```markdown
+# Task Plan: Morning Exercise Benefits Research
+
+## Goal
+Create a research summary on the benefits of morning exercise.

+## Phases
+- [ ] Phase 1: Create this plan ✓
+- [ ] Phase 2: Search and gather sources
+- [ ] Phase 3: Synthesize findings
+- [ ] Phase 4: Deliver summary
+
+## Key Questions
+1. What are the physical health benefits?
+2. What are the mental health benefits?
+3. What scientific studies support this?
+
+## Status
+**Currently in Phase 1** - Creating plan
+```
+
+### Loop 2: Research
+```bash
+Read task_plan.md           # Refresh goals
+WebSearch "morning exercise benefits"
+Write notes.md              # Store findings
+Edit task_plan.md           # Mark Phase 2 complete

+# Task Plan: Fix Login Bug
+
+## Goal
+Identify and fix the bug preventing successful login.

+## Key Questions
+1. What error message appears?
+2. Which file handles authentication?
+3. What changed recently?
+
+## Decisions Made
+- Auth handler is in src/auth/login.ts
+- Error occurs in validateToken() function
+
+## Errors Encountered
+- [Initial] TypeError: Cannot read property 'token' of undefined
+  → Root cause: user object not awaited properly

+
+## Existing Theme System
+- Located in: src/styles/theme.ts
+- Uses: CSS custom properties
+- Current themes: light only
+
+## Files to Modify
+1. src/styles/theme.ts - Add dark theme colors
+2. src/components/SettingsPage.tsx - Add toggle
+3. src/hooks/useTheme.ts - Create new hook
+4. src/App.tsx - Wrap with ThemeProvider
+
+## Color Decisions
+- Dark background: #1a1a2e
+- Dark surface: #16213e
+- Dark text: #eaeaea
+```
+
+**dark_mode_implementation.md:** (deliverable)
+```markdown
+# Dark Mode Implementation
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Added dark theme colors
+File: src/styles/theme.ts
+...
+
+### 2. Created useTheme hook
+File: src/hooks/useTheme.ts
+...
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example 4: Error Recovery Pattern
+
+When something fails, DON'T hide it:
+
+### Before (Wrong)
+```
+Action: Read config.json
+Error: File not found
+Action: Read config.json  # Silent retry
+Action: Read config.json  # Another retry
+```
+
+### After (Correct)
+```
+Action: Read config.json
+Error: File not found
+
+# Update task_plan.md:
+## Errors Encountered
+- config.json not found → Will create default config
+
+Action: Write config.json (default config)
+Action: Read config.json
+Success!
+```
+
+---
+
+## The Read-Before-Decide Pattern
+
+**Always read your plan before major decisions:**
+
+```
+[Many tool calls have happened...]
+[Context is getting long...]
+[Original goal might be forgotten...]
+
+→ Read task_plan.md          # This brings goals back into attention!
+→ Now make the decision       # Goals are fresh in context
+```
+
+This is why Manus can handle ~50 tool calls without losing track. The plan file acts as a "goal refresh" mechanism.

+# Reference: Manus Context Engineering Principles
+
+This skill is based on context engineering principles from Manus, the AI agent company acquired by Meta for $2 billion in December 2025.
+
+## The 6 Manus Principles
+
+### Principle 1: Design Around KV-Cache
+
+> "KV-cache hit rate is THE single most important metric for production AI agents."
+
+**Statistics:**
+- ~100:1 input-to-output token ratio
+- Cached tokens: $0.30/MTok vs Uncached: $3/MTok
+- 10x cost difference!
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Keep prompt prefixes STABLE (single-token change invalidates cache)
+- NO timestamps in system prompts
+- Make context APPEND-ONLY with deterministic serialization
+
+### Principle 2: Mask, Don't Remove
+
+Don't dynamically remove tools (breaks KV-cache). Use logit masking instead.
+
+**Best Practice:** Use consistent action prefixes (e.g., `browser_`, `shell_`, `file_`) for easier masking.
+
+### Principle 3: Filesystem as External Memory
+
+> "Markdown is my 'working memory' on disk."
+
+**The Formula:**
+```
+Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
+Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
+```
+
+**Compression Must Be Restorable:**
+- Keep URLs even if web content is dropped
+- Keep file paths when dropping document contents
+- Never lose the pointer to full data
+
+### Principle 4: Manipulate Attention Through Recitation
+
+> "Creates and updates todo.md throughout tasks to push global plan into model's recent attention span."
+
+**Problem:** After ~50 tool calls, models forget original goals ("lost in the middle" effect).
+
+**Solution:** Re-read `task_plan.md` before each decision. Goals appear in the attention window.
+
+```
+Start of context: [Original goal - far away, forgotten]
+...many tool calls...
+End of context: [Recently read task_plan.md - gets ATTENTION!]
+```
+
+### Principle 5: Keep the Wrong Stuff In
+
+> "Leave the wrong turns in the context."
+
+**Why:**
+- Failed actions with stack traces let model implicitly update beliefs
+- Reduces mistake repetition
+- Error recovery is "one of the clearest signals of TRUE agentic behavior"
+
+### Principle 6: Don't Get Few-Shotted
+
+> "Uniformity breeds fragility."
+
+**Problem:** Repetitive action-observation pairs cause drift and hallucination.
+
+**Solution:** Introduce controlled variation:
+- Vary phrasings slightly
+- Don't copy-paste patterns blindly
+- Recalibrate on repetitive tasks
+
+---
+
+## The 3 Context Engineering Strategies
+
+Based on Lance Martin's analysis of Manus architecture.
+
+### Strategy 1: Context Reduction
+
+**Compaction:**
+```
+Tool calls have TWO representations:
+├── FULL: Raw tool content (stored in filesystem)
+└── COMPACT: Reference/file path only
+
+RULES:
+- Apply compaction to STALE (older) tool results
+- Keep RECENT results FULL (to guide next decision)
+```
+
+**Summarization:**
+- Applied when compaction reaches diminishing returns
+- Generated using full tool results
+- Creates standardized summary objects
+
+### Strategy 2: Context Isolation (Multi-Agent)
+
+**Architecture:**
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────┐
+│         PLANNER AGENT           │
+│  └─ Assigns tasks to sub-agents │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│       KNOWLEDGE MANAGER         │
+│  └─ Reviews conversations       │
+│  └─ Determines filesystem store │
+├─────────────────────────────────┤
+│      EXECUTOR SUB-AGENTS        │
+│  └─ Perform assigned tasks      │
+│  └─ Have own context windows    │
+└─────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Key Insight:** Manus originally used `todo.md` for task planning but found ~33% of actions were spent updating it. Shifted to dedicated planner agent calling executor sub-agents.
+
+### Strategy 3: Context Offloading
+
+**Tool Design:**
+- Use <20 atomic functions total
+- Store full results in filesystem, not context
+- Use `glob` and `grep` for searching
+- Progressive disclosure: load information only as needed
+
+---
+
+## The Agent Loop
+
+Manus operates in a continuous 7-step loop:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│  1. ANALYZE CONTEXT                      │
+│     - Understand user intent             │
+│     - Assess current state               │
+│     - Review recent observations         │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  2. THINK                                │
+│     - Should I update the plan?          │
+│     - What's the next logical action?    │
+│     - Are there blockers?                │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  3. SELECT TOOL                          │
+│     - Choose ONE tool                    │
+│     - Ensure parameters available        │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  4. EXECUTE ACTION                       │
+│     - Tool runs in sandbox               │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  5. RECEIVE OBSERVATION                  │
+│     - Result appended to context         │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  6. ITERATE                              │
+│     - Return to step 1                   │
+│     - Continue until complete            │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  7. DELIVER OUTCOME                      │
+│     - Send results to user               │
+│     - Attach all relevant files          │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```

+## File Types Manus Creates
+
+| File | Purpose | When Created | When Updated |
+|------|---------|--------------|--------------|
+| `task_plan.md` | Phase tracking, progress | Task start | After completing phases |
+| `findings.md` | Discoveries, decisions | After ANY discovery | After viewing images/PDFs |
+| `progress.md` | Session log, what's done | At breakpoints | Throughout session |
+| Code files | Implementation | Before execution | After errors |
+
+---
+
+## Critical Constraints
+
+- **Single-Action Execution:** ONE tool call per turn. No parallel execution.
+- **Plan is Required:** Agent must ALWAYS know: goal, current phase, remaining phases
+- **Files are Memory:** Context = volatile. Filesystem = persistent.
+- **Never Repeat Failures:** If action failed, next action MUST be different
+- **Communication is a Tool:** Message types: `info` (progress), `ask` (blocking), `result` (terminal)
+
+---
+
+## Manus Statistics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Average tool calls per task | ~50 |
+| Input-to-output token ratio | 100:1 |
+| Acquisition price | $2 billion |
+| Time to $100M revenue | 8 months |
+| Framework refactors since launch | 5 times |

+# Findings & Decisions
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Your knowledge base for the task. Stores everything you discover and decide.
+  WHY: Context windows are limited. This file is your "external memory" - persistent and unlimited.
+  WHEN: Update after ANY discovery, especially after 2 view/browser/search operations (2-Action Rule).
+-->
+
+## Requirements
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: What the user asked for, broken down into specific requirements.
+  WHY: Keeps requirements visible so you don't forget what you're building.
+  WHEN: Fill this in during Phase 1 (Requirements & Discovery).
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Command-line interface
+    - Add tasks
+    - List all tasks
+    - Delete tasks
+    - Python implementation
+-->
+<!-- Captured from user request -->
+-
+
+## Research Findings
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Key discoveries from web searches, documentation reading, or exploration.
+  WHY: Multimodal content (images, browser results) doesn't persist. Write it down immediately.
+  WHEN: After EVERY 2 view/browser/search operations, update this section (2-Action Rule).
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Python's argparse module supports subcommands for clean CLI design
+    - JSON module handles file persistence easily
+    - Standard pattern: python script.py <command> [args]
+-->
+<!-- Key discoveries during exploration -->
+-
+
+## Technical Decisions
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Architecture and implementation choices you've made, with reasoning.
+  WHY: You'll forget why you chose a technology or approach. This table preserves that knowledge.
+  WHEN: Update whenever you make a significant technical choice.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    | Use JSON for storage | Simple, human-readable, built-in Python support |
+    | argparse with subcommands | Clean CLI: python todo.py add "task" |
+-->
+<!-- Decisions made with rationale -->
+| Decision | Rationale |
+|----------|-----------|
+|          |           |
+
+## Issues Encountered
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Problems you ran into and how you solved them.
+  WHY: Similar to errors in task_plan.md, but focused on broader issues (not just code errors).
+  WHEN: Document when you encounter blockers or unexpected challenges.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    | Empty file causes JSONDecodeError | Added explicit empty file check before json.load() |
+-->
+<!-- Errors and how they were resolved -->
+| Issue | Resolution |
+|-------|------------|
+|       |            |
+
+## Resources
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: URLs, file paths, API references, documentation links you've found useful.
+  WHY: Easy reference for later. Don't lose important links in context.
+  WHEN: Add as you discover useful resources.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Python argparse docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html
+    - Project structure: src/main.py, src/utils.py
+-->
+<!-- URLs, file paths, API references -->
+-
+
+## Visual/Browser Findings
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Information you learned from viewing images, PDFs, or browser results.
+  WHY: CRITICAL - Visual/multimodal content doesn't persist in context. Must be captured as text.
+  WHEN: IMMEDIATELY after viewing images or browser results. Don't wait!
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Screenshot shows login form has email and password fields
+    - Browser shows API returns JSON with "status" and "data" keys

+  3. What's the goal? → Goal statement in task_plan.md
+  4. What have I learned? → See findings.md

+## Help Us Test Session Management Features!
+
+I've implemented session management patterns from Anthropic's article ["Effective harnesses for long-running agents"](https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/effective-harnesses-for-long-running-agents) in the **`feature/anthropic-patterns`** branch.
+
+These features need testing before merging to main. **Your feedback is critical!**
+
+---
+
+## What's New
+
+### 1. Session Initialization Script
+Run at the start of every session:
+```bash
+bash scripts/init-session.sh
+```
+
+**What it does:**
+- ✅ Verifies planning files exist
+- ✅ Shows current phase and git status
+- ✅ Displays last commit
+- ✅ Logs session start to progress.md
+- ✅ Creates missing files if needed
+
+### 2. Pass/Fail Status Tracking
+Enhanced `task_plan.md` template with:
+- Status icons: ⏸️ Pending | 🔄 In Progress | ✅ Pass | ❌ Fail | ⏭️ Skipped
+- Test Results table for each phase
+- Git Checkpoints table to log commits
+- Phase Summary table for quick overview
+
+### 3. Git Checkpoint Workflow
+New documentation: `docs/git-checkpoints.md`
+- "One phase, one commit" pattern
+- Use git commits as rollback points
+- Integrates with task_plan.md
+
+### 4. Session-Start Verification
+Automated checklist that verifies:
+- Planning files present
+- Git working tree clean
+- Current branch status
+- Last commit information
+
+---
+
+## How to Test
+
+### 1. Checkout the Branch
+```bash
+cd your-planning-with-files-repo
+git fetch origin
+git checkout feature/anthropic-patterns
+```
+
+### 2. Try It In a Test Project
+```bash
+cd ~/your-test-project
+bash /path/to/planning-with-files/scripts/init-session.sh
+```
+
+### 3. Work Through a Multi-Phase Task
+- Let the script create planning files
+- Define some phases in task_plan.md
+- Complete a phase and test it
+- Mark it as ✅ Pass with test results
+- Commit: `git commit -m "feat(Phase 1): description"`
+- Log the commit hash in Git Checkpoints table
+- Start a new session and run init-session.sh again
+
+### 4. Read the Implementation Summary
+See `IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md` in the branch for full details.
+
+---
+
+## What We Need Feedback On
+
+1. **Does init-session.sh work on your system?**
+   - Unix/Mac: Does the bash script run smoothly?
+   - Windows: Does the PowerShell version work?
+
+2. **Is the new task_plan.md template helpful?**
+   - Are the status icons clear?
+   - Is the Test Results table useful?
+   - Does the Git Checkpoints table make sense?
+
+3. **Does the workflow feel natural?**
+   - Plan → Implement → Verify → Commit
+   - Does session recovery work when you restart?
+
+4. **Any bugs or issues?**
+   - Errors when running scripts?
+   - Confusing documentation?
+   - Missing features?
+
+5. **Suggestions for improvement?**
+   - What would make this better?
+   - Any patterns from the Anthropic article we missed?

+## Session Recovery (NEW in v2.2.0)
+
+When your context window fills up and you run `/clear`, this skill automatically recovers unsynced work from your previous session.
+
+### Optimal Workflow
+
+For the best experience, we recommend:
+
+1. **Disable auto-compact** in Claude Code settings (use full context window)
+2. **Start a fresh session** in your project
+3. **Run `/planning-with-files`** when ready to work on a complex task
+4. **Work until context fills up** (Claude will warn you)
+5. **Run `/clear`** to start fresh
+6. **Run `/planning-with-files`** again — it will automatically recover where you left off
+
+### How Recovery Works
+
+When you invoke `/planning-with-files`, the skill:
+
+1. Checks for previous session data (stored in `~/.claude/projects/`)
+2. Finds the last time planning files were updated
+3. Extracts conversation that happened after (potentially lost context)
+4. Shows a catchup report so you can sync planning files
+
+This means even if context filled up before you could update your planning files, the skill will recover that context in your next session.
+
+### Disabling Auto-Compact
+
+To use the full context window without automatic compaction:
+
+```bash
+# In your Claude Code settings or .claude/settings.json
+{
+  "autoCompact": false
+}
+```
+
+This lets you maximize context usage before manually clearing with `/clear`.

+# Welcome to planning-with-files
+
+> **Work like Manus** — the AI agent company Meta acquired for **$2 billion**.
+
+This is a Claude Code skill that transforms your workflow to use persistent markdown files for planning, progress tracking, and knowledge storage.
+
+## What This Project Does
+
+Instead of relying on volatile context windows, planning-with-files teaches Claude to use **files as memory**:
+
+- `task_plan.md` - Your roadmap (phases, progress, decisions)
+- `findings.md` - Research and discoveries
+- `progress.md` - Session logs and test results
+
+When context fills up, you don't lose work. Everything important is on disk.
+
+## Why It Exists
+
+After 50+ tool calls, Claude forgets your original goals. This skill solves that by:
+- Re-reading the plan before major decisions (hooks)
+- Storing findings in files instead of context
+- Logging errors to prevent repetition
+- Verifying completion before stopping
+
+## Inspired By
+
+Manus AI pioneered this pattern and went from launch to $100M+ revenue in 8 months. Their secret? **Context engineering through persistent files.**
+
+## Community ❤️

+# Antigravity IDE Setup
+
+Using planning-with-files with [Google Antigravity](https://antigravity.google/).
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+Antigravity auto-discovers skills from `.agent/skills/` directories. Two installation methods:
+
+### Method 1: Workspace Installation (Recommended)
+
+Share the skill with your entire team by adding it to your repository:
+
+```bash
+# In your project repository
+git clone https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files.git /tmp/planning-with-files
+
+# Copy the Antigravity skill to your repo
+cp -r /tmp/planning-with-files/.agent .
+
+# Commit to share with team
+git add .agent/
+git commit -m "Add planning-with-files skill for Antigravity"
+git push
+
+# Clean up
+rm -rf /tmp/planning-with-files
+```
+
+Now everyone on your team using Antigravity will have access to the skill!
+
+### Method 2: Personal Installation
+
+Install just for yourself:
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repo
+git clone https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files.git /tmp/planning-with-files
+
+# Copy to your personal Antigravity skills folder
+mkdir -p ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills
+cp -r /tmp/planning-with-files/.agent/skills/planning-with-files ~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/
+
+# Clean up
+rm -rf /tmp/planning-with-files
+```
+
+### Verification
+
+Restart your Antigravity session, then the skill will auto-activate when you work on complex tasks.
+
+No slash command needed - Antigravity automatically invokes skills based on your task description!
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Auto-Activation
+
+Antigravity scans your task and automatically activates the skill when you:
+- Mention "complex task" or "multi-step project"
+- Request planning or organization
+- Start research tasks
+- Work on projects requiring >5 steps
+
+### Trigger Phrases
+
+Increase auto-activation likelihood by using these phrases:
+- "Create a task plan for..."
+- "This is a multi-step project..."
+- "I need planning for..."
+- "Help me organize this complex task..."
+
+### Example Request
+
+```
+I need to build a REST API with authentication,
+database integration, and comprehensive testing.
+This is a complex multi-step project that will
+require careful planning.
+```
+
+Antigravity will automatically invoke `planning-with-files` and create the three planning files.
+
+---
+
+## The Three Files
+
+Once activated, the skill creates:
+
+| File | Purpose | Location |
+|------|---------|----------|
+| `task_plan.md` | Phases, progress, decisions | Your project root |
+| `findings.md` | Research, discoveries | Your project root |
+| `progress.md` | Session log, test results | Your project root |
+
+### Templates
+
+The skill includes starter templates in `.agent/skills/planning-with-files/references/`:
+- `task_plan.md` — Phase tracking template
+- `findings.md` — Research storage template
+- `progress.md` — Session logging template
+
+---
+
+## Usage Pattern
+
+### 1. Start Complex Task
+
+Describe your task with complexity indicators:
+
+```
+I'm building a user authentication system.
+This is a multi-phase project requiring database
+setup, API endpoints, testing, and documentation.
+```
+
+### 2. Skill Auto-Activates
+
+Antigravity invokes `planning-with-files` and creates the planning files.
+
+### 3. Work Through Phases
+
+The AI will:
+- ✅ Create `task_plan.md` with phases
+- ✅ Update progress as work completes
+- ✅ Store research in `findings.md`
+- ✅ Log actions in `progress.md`
+- ✅ Re-read plans before major decisions
+
+### 4. Track Everything
+
+All important information gets written to disk, not lost in context window.
+
+---
+
+## Skill Features
+
+### The 3-Strike Error Protocol
+
+When errors occur, the AI:
+1. **Attempt 1:** Diagnose and fix
+2. **Attempt 2:** Try alternative approach
+3. **Attempt 3:** Broader rethink
+4. **After 3 failures:** Escalate to you
+
+### The 2-Action Rule
+
+After every 2 search/view operations, findings are saved to `findings.md`.
+
+Prevents losing visual/multimodal information.
+
+### Read Before Decide
+
+Before major decisions, the AI re-reads planning files to refresh goals.
+
+Prevents goal drift in long sessions.
+
+---
+
+## Team Workflow
+
+### Workspace Skills (Recommended)
+
+With workspace installation (`.agent/skills/`):
+- ✅ Everyone on team has the skill
+- ✅ Consistent planning across projects
+- ✅ Version controlled with your repo
+- ✅ Changes sync via git
+
+### Personal Skills
+
+With personal installation (`~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/`):
+- ✅ Use across all your projects
+- ✅ Keep it even if you switch teams
+- ❌ Not shared with teammates
+
+---
+
+## Why This Works
+
+This pattern is why Manus AI (acquired by Meta for $2 billion) succeeded:
+
+> "Markdown is my 'working memory' on disk. Since I process information iteratively and my active context has limits, Markdown files serve as scratch pads for notes, checkpoints for progress, building blocks for final deliverables."
+> — Manus AI
+
+**Key insight:** Context window = RAM (volatile). Filesystem = Disk (persistent).
+
+Write important information to disk, not context.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Skill Not Activating?
+
+1. **Add trigger phrases:** Use "complex task", "multi-step", "planning" in your request
+2. **Be explicit:** Mention number of phases or complexity
+3. **Restart Antigravity:** Agent rescans skills on restart
+
+### Files Not Created?
+
+Check:
+- Current directory is writable
+- No file permission issues
+- Agent has file system access
+
+### Need Templates?
+
+Templates are in:
+- **Workspace:** `.agent/skills/planning-with-files/references/`
+- **Personal:** `~/.gemini/antigravity/skills/planning-with-files/references/`
+
+Copy them to your project root and customize.
+
+---
+
+## Advanced: Customization
+
+### Modify the Skill
+
+Edit `.agent/skills/planning-with-files/SKILL.md` to customize:
+- Change trigger phrases in description
+- Adjust planning patterns
+- Add team-specific rules
+
+### Add Custom Templates
+
+Place custom templates in:
+```
+.agent/skills/planning-with-files/references/
+```
+
+Antigravity will reference them automatically.
+
+---
+
+## Agent Skills Standard
+
+This skill follows the [Agent Skills Specification](https://agentskills.io/specification), an open standard for AI coding assistants.
+
+The same skill format works across:
+- Google Antigravity
+- Claude Code
+- Cursor
+- And other Agent Skills-compatible IDEs

+Now everyone on your team using Factory Droid will have access to the skill!
+
+### Method 2: Personal Installation
+
+Install just for yourself:
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repo
+git clone https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files.git /tmp/planning-with-files
+
+# Copy to your personal Factory skills folder
+mkdir -p ~/.factory/skills
+cp -r /tmp/planning-with-files/.factory/skills/planning-with-files ~/.factory/skills/
+
+# Clean up
+rm -rf /tmp/planning-with-files
+```
+
+### Verification
+
+Restart your Factory Droid session, then the skill will auto-activate when you work on complex tasks.
+
+No slash command needed - Factory Droid automatically invokes skills based on your task description!
+
+---
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Auto-Activation
+
+Factory Droid scans your task and automatically activates the skill when you:
+- Mention "complex task" or "multi-step project"
+- Request planning or organization
+- Start research tasks
+- Work on projects requiring >5 steps
+
+### Trigger Phrases
+
+Increase auto-activation likelihood by using these phrases:
+- "Create a task plan for..."
+- "This is a multi-step project..."
+- "I need planning for..."
+- "Help me organize this complex task..."
+
+### Example Request
+
+```
+I need to build a REST API with authentication,
+database integration, and comprehensive testing.
+This is a complex multi-step project that will
+require careful planning.
+```
+
+Factory Droid will automatically invoke `planning-with-files` and create the three planning files.
+
+---
+
+## The Three Files
+
+Once activated, the skill creates:
+
+| File | Purpose | Location |
+|------|---------|----------|
+| `task_plan.md` | Phases, progress, decisions | Your project root |
+| `findings.md` | Research, discoveries | Your project root |
+| `progress.md` | Session log, test results | Your project root |
+
+### Templates
+
+The skill includes starter templates in `.factory/skills/planning-with-files/templates/`:
+- `task_plan.md` — Phase tracking template
+- `findings.md` — Research storage template
+- `progress.md` — Session logging template
+
+---
+
+## Usage Pattern
+
+### 1. Start Complex Task
+
+Describe your task with complexity indicators:
+
+```
+I'm building a user authentication system.
+This is a multi-phase project requiring database
+setup, API endpoints, testing, and documentation.
+```
+
+### 2. Skill Auto-Activates
+
+Factory Droid invokes `planning-with-files` and creates the planning files.
+
+### 3. Work Through Phases
+
+The AI will:
+- ✅ Create `task_plan.md` with phases
+- ✅ Update progress as work completes
+- ✅ Store research in `findings.md`
+- ✅ Log actions in `progress.md`
+- ✅ Re-read plans before major decisions
+
+### 4. Track Everything
+
+All important information gets written to disk, not lost in context window.
+
+---
+
+## Skill Features
+
+### The 3-Strike Error Protocol
+
+When errors occur, the AI:
+1. **Attempt 1:** Diagnose and fix
+2. **Attempt 2:** Try alternative approach
+3. **Attempt 3:** Broader rethink
+4. **After 3 failures:** Escalate to you
+
+### The 2-Action Rule
+
+After every 2 search/view operations, findings are saved to `findings.md`.
+
+Prevents losing visual/multimodal information.
+
+### Read Before Decide
+
+Before major decisions, the AI re-reads planning files to refresh goals.
+
+Prevents goal drift in long sessions.
+
+---
+
+## Team Workflow
+
+### Workspace Skills (Recommended)
+
+With workspace installation (`.factory/skills/`):
+- ✅ Everyone on team has the skill
+- ✅ Consistent planning across projects
+- ✅ Version controlled with your repo
+- ✅ Changes sync via git
+
+### Personal Skills
+
+With personal installation (`~/.factory/skills/`):
+- ✅ Use across all your projects
+- ✅ Keep it even if you switch teams
+- ❌ Not shared with teammates
+
+---
+
+## Why This Works
+
+This pattern is why Manus AI (acquired by Meta for $2 billion) succeeded:
+
+> "Markdown is my 'working memory' on disk. Since I process information iteratively and my active context has limits, Markdown files serve as scratch pads for notes, checkpoints for progress, building blocks for final deliverables."
+> — Manus AI
+
+**Key insight:** Context window = RAM (volatile). Filesystem = Disk (persistent).
+
+Write important information to disk, not context.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Skill Not Activating?
+
+1. **Add trigger phrases:** Use "complex task", "multi-step", "planning" in your request
+2. **Be explicit:** Mention number of phases or complexity
+3. **Restart Droid:** Factory Droid rescans skills on restart
+
+### Files Not Created?
+
+Check:
+- Current directory is writable
+- No file permission issues
+- Droid has file system access
+
+### Need Templates?
+
+Templates are in:
+- **Workspace:** `.factory/skills/planning-with-files/templates/`
+- **Personal:** `~/.factory/skills/planning-with-files/templates/`
+
+Copy them to your project root and customize.
+
+---
+
+## Advanced: Customization
+
+### Modify the Skill
+
+Edit `.factory/skills/planning-with-files/SKILL.md` to customize:
+- Change trigger phrases in description
+- Adjust planning patterns
+- Add team-specific rules
+
+### Add Custom Templates
+
+Place custom templates in:
+```
+.factory/skills/planning-with-files/templates/
+```
+
+Factory Droid will reference them automatically.

+# Gemini CLI Setup
+
+This guide explains how to install and use planning-with-files with [Gemini CLI](https://geminicli.com/).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Gemini CLI v0.23 or later
+- Agent Skills enabled in settings
+
+## Enable Agent Skills
+
+Agent Skills is an experimental feature. Enable it first:
+
+```bash
+# Open settings
+gemini /settings
+
+# Search for "Skills" → Toggle "Agent Skills" to true → Press Esc to save
+```
+
+Or edit `~/.gemini/settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "experimental": {
+    "skills": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Installation Methods
+
+### Method 1: Install from GitHub (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+gemini skills install https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files --path .gemini/skills/planning-with-files
+```
+
+### Method 2: Manual Installation (User-level)
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files.git
+
+# Copy to Gemini skills folder
+cp -r planning-with-files/.gemini/skills/planning-with-files ~/.gemini/skills/
+```
+
+### Method 3: Manual Installation (Workspace-level)
+
+For project-specific installation:
+
+```bash
+# In your project directory
+mkdir -p .gemini/skills
+
+# Copy skill
+cp -r /path/to/planning-with-files/.gemini/skills/planning-with-files .gemini/skills/
+```
+
+## Verify Installation
+
+```bash
+# List all skills
+gemini skills list
+
+# Should show:
+# - planning-with-files: Implements Manus-style file-based planning...
+```
+
+Or in an interactive session:
+
+```
+/skills list
+```
+
+## Skill Discovery Tiers
+
+Skills are loaded from three locations with this precedence:
+
+| Tier | Location | Scope |
+|------|----------|-------|
+| Workspace | `.gemini/skills/` | Project-specific (highest priority) |
+| User | `~/.gemini/skills/` | All projects |
+| Extension | Bundled with extensions | Lowest priority |
+
+Higher-precedence locations override lower ones when names conflict.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Automatic Activation
+
+Gemini will automatically detect when to use this skill based on the task description. For complex multi-step tasks, it will prompt you:
+
+```
+Gemini wants to activate skill: planning-with-files
+Purpose: Implements Manus-style file-based planning for complex tasks
+Allow? [y/n]
+```
+
+### Manual Activation
+
+You can also manually enable/disable skills:
+
+```
+/skills enable planning-with-files
+/skills disable planning-with-files
+/skills reload
+```
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. **Session Start**: Gemini loads skill names and descriptions
+2. **Task Detection**: When you describe a complex task, Gemini matches it to the skill
+3. **Activation Prompt**: You approve the skill activation
+4. **Instructions Loaded**: Full SKILL.md content is added to context
+5. **Execution**: Gemini follows the planning workflow
+
+## Skill Structure

+
+To make the skill available across all projects:
+
+**Unix/Linux/macOS:**
+```bash
+# Copy to global skills directory
+mkdir -p ~/.kilocode/skills
+cp -r planning-with-files/skills/planning-with-files ~/.kilocode/skills/planning-with-files
+
+# Copy the rules file (optional, but recommended)
+mkdir -p ~/.kilocode/rules
+cp planning-with-files/.kilocode/rules/planning-with-files.md ~/.kilocode/rules/planning-with-files.md
+```
+
+**Windows (PowerShell):**
+```powershell
+# Copy to global skills directory (replace YourUsername with your actual username)
+New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path C:\Users\YourUsername\.kilocode\skills
+Copy-Item -Recurse -Force planning-with-files\skills\planning-with-files C:\Users\YourUsername\.kilocode\skills\planning-with-files
+
+# Copy the rules file (optional, but recommended)
+New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path C:\Users\YourUsername\.kilocode\rules
+Copy-Item -Force planning-with-files\.kilocode\rules\planning-with-files.md C:\Users\YourUsername\.kilocode\rules\planning-with-files.md
+
+# Copy PowerShell scripts (optional, but recommended)
+Copy-Item -Force planning-with-files\scripts\init-session.ps1 C:\Users\YourUsername\.kilocode\skills\planning-with-files\scripts\init-session.ps1
+Copy-Item -Force planning-with-files\scripts\check-complete.ps1 C:\Users\YourUsername\.kilocode\skills\planning-with-files\scripts\check-complete.ps1
+```
+
+### Verifying Installation
+
+After installation, verify the skill is loaded:
+
+1. **Restart Kilo Code** (if needed)
+2. Ask the agent: "Do you have access to the planning-with-files skill?"
+3. The agent should confirm the skill is loaded
+4. Rules also load automatically from `~/.kilocode/rules/planning-with-files.md` (global) or `.kilocode/rules/planning-with-files.md` (project)
+
+**Testing PowerShell Scripts (Windows):**
+
+After installation, you can test the PowerShell scripts:
+
+```powershell
+# Test init-session.ps1
+.\.kilocode\skills\planning-with-files\scripts\init-session.ps1
+
+# Test check-complete.ps1
+.\.kilocode\skills\planning-with-files\scripts\check-complete.ps1
+```
+
+The scripts should create `task_plan.md`, `findings.md`, and `progress.md` files in your project root.
+
+### File Structure
+
+The installation consists of the skill directory and the rules file:
+
+**Skill Directory:**
+
+```
+~/.kilocode/skills/planning-with-files/          (Global)
+OR
+.kilocode/skills/planning-with-files/             (Project)
+├── SKILL.md              # Skill definition
+├── examples.md           # Real-world examples
+├── reference.md          # Advanced reference
+├── templates/            # Planning file templates
+│   ├── task_plan.md
+│   ├── findings.md
+│   └── progress.md
+└── scripts/              # Utility scripts
+    ├── init-session.sh    # Unix/Linux/macOS
+    ├── check-complete.sh  # Unix/Linux/macOS
+    ├── init-session.ps1  # Windows (PowerShell)
+    └── check-complete.ps1 # Windows (PowerShell)
+```
+
+**Rules File:**
+
+```
+~/.kilocode/rules/planning-with-files.md        (Global)
+OR
+.kilocode/rules/planning-with-files.md           (Project)
+```
+
+**Important**: The `name` field in `SKILL.md` must match the directory name (`planning-with-files`).
+
+## File Locations
+
+| Type | Global Location | Project Location |
+|------|-----------------|------------------|
+| **Rules** | `~/.kilocode/rules/planning-with-files.md` | `.kilocode/rules/planning-with-files.md` |
+| **Skill** | `~/.kilocode/skills/planning-with-files/SKILL.md` | `.kilocode/skills/planning-with-files/SKILL.md` |
+| **Templates** | `~/.kilocode/skills/planning-with-files/templates/` | `.kilocode/skills/planning-with-files/templates/` |

+## Templates not found in cache (after update)
+
+**Issue:** After updating to a new version, `/planning-with-files` fails with "template files not found in cache" or similar errors.
+
+**Why this happens:** Claude Code caches plugin files, and the cache may not refresh properly after an update.
+
+**Solutions:**
+
+### Solution 1: Clean reinstall (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+/plugin uninstall planning-with-files@planning-with-files
+/plugin marketplace add OthmanAdi/planning-with-files
+/plugin install planning-with-files@planning-with-files
+```
+
+### Solution 2: Clear Claude Code cache
+
+Restart Claude Code completely (close and reopen terminal/IDE).
+
+### Solution 3: Manual cache clear
+
+```bash
+# Find and remove cached plugin
+rm -rf ~/.claude/cache/plugins/planning-with-files
+```
+
+Then reinstall the plugin.
+
+**Note:** This was fixed in v2.1.2 by adding templates at the repo root level.
+

 ## Planning files created in wrong directory
 
 **Issue:** When using `/planning-with-files`, the files (`task_plan.md`, `findings.md`, `progress.md`) are created in the skill installation directory instead of your project.

 # 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:
+
+```bash
+python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/session-catchup.py "$(pwd)"
+```
+
+If catchup report shows unsynced context:
+1. Run `git diff --stat` to see actual code changes
+2. Read current planning files
+3. Update planning files based on catchup + git diff
+4. Then proceed with task
+
 ## Important: Where Files Go
 
-When using this skill:
-
-- **Templates** are stored in the skill directory at `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/`
-- **Your planning files** (`task_plan.md`, `findings.md`, `progress.md`) should be created in **your project directory** — the folder where you're working
+- **Templates** are in `${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` |
 
-This ensures your planning files live alongside your code, not buried in the skill installation folder.
-
 ## Quick Start
 
 Before ANY complex task:
 
-1. **Create `task_plan.md`** in your project — Use [templates/task_plan.md](templates/task_plan.md) as reference
-2. **Create `findings.md`** in your project — Use [templates/findings.md](templates/findings.md) as reference
-3. **Create `progress.md`** in your project — Use [templates/progress.md](templates/progress.md) as reference
+1. **Create `task_plan.md`** — Use [templates/task_plan.md](templates/task_plan.md) as reference
+2. **Create `findings.md`** — Use [templates/findings.md](templates/findings.md) as reference
+3. **Create `progress.md`** — Use [templates/progress.md](templates/progress.md) as reference
 4. **Re-read plan before decisions** — Refreshes goals in attention window
 5. **Update after each phase** — Mark complete, log errors
 
-> **Note:** All three planning files should be created in your current working directory (your project root), not in the skill's installation folder.
+> **Note:** Planning files go in your project root, not the skill installation folder.

+  WHAT: Key discoveries from web searches, documentation reading, or exploration.
+  WHY: Multimodal content (images, browser results) doesn't persist. Write it down immediately.

+## Resources
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: URLs, file paths, API references, documentation links you've found useful.
+  WHY: Easy reference for later. Don't lose important links in context.
+  WHEN: Add as you discover useful resources.
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Python argparse docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html
+    - Project structure: src/main.py, src/utils.py
+-->

+## Visual/Browser Findings
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Information you learned from viewing images, PDFs, or browser results.
+  WHY: CRITICAL - Visual/multimodal content doesn't persist in context. Must be captured as text.
+  WHEN: IMMEDIATELY after viewing images or browser results. Don't wait!
+  EXAMPLE:
+    - Screenshot shows login form has email and password fields

+# Task Plan: [Brief Description]
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: This is your roadmap for the entire task. Think of it as your "working memory on disk."
+  WHY: After 50+ tool calls, your original goals can get forgotten. This file keeps them fresh.
+  WHEN: Create this FIRST, before starting any work. Update after each phase completes.
+-->
+
+## Goal
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: One clear sentence describing what you're trying to achieve.
+  WHY: This is your north star. Re-reading this keeps you focused on the end state.
+  EXAMPLE: "Create a Python CLI todo app with add, list, and delete functionality."
+-->
+[One sentence describing the end state]
+
+## Current Phase
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Which phase you're currently working on (e.g., "Phase 1", "Phase 3").
+  WHY: Quick reference for where you are in the task. Update this as you progress.
+-->
+Phase 1
+
+## Phases
+<!-- 
+  WHAT: Break your task into 3-7 logical phases. Each phase should be completable.
