+# Planning with Files
+
+Work like Manus: Use persistent markdown files as your "working memory on disk."
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Before ANY complex task:
+
+1. **Create `task_plan.md`** — Phase tracking and progress
+2. **Create `findings.md`** — Research and discoveries
+3. **Create `progress.md`** — Session log and test results
+4. **Re-read plan before decisions** — Refreshes goals in attention window
+5. **Update after each phase** — Mark complete, log errors
+
+## 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 |
+
+## Manus Principles
+
+### 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."
+
+### Principle 4: Avoid Few-Shot Overfitting
+Vary phrasings slightly. Don't copy-paste patterns blindly. Uniformity breeds fragility.
+
+## 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
+
+## 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 |

+## Kilo Code Support
+
+This skill also supports Kilo Code AI through the `.kilocode/rules/` directory.
+
+The [`.kilocode/rules/planning-with-files.md`](.kilocode/rules/planning-with-files.md) file contains all the planning guidelines formatted for Kilo Code's rules system, providing the same Manus-style planning workflow for Kilo Code users.
+
+**Windows users:** The skill now includes PowerShell scripts ([`init-session.ps1`](skills/planning-with-files/scripts/init-session.ps1) and [`check-complete.ps1`](skills/planning-with-files/scripts/check-complete.ps1)) for native Windows support.

+# Kilo Code Support
+
+Planning with Files is fully supported on Kilo Code through native integration.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. Open your project in Kilo Code
+2. Rules load automatically from global (`~/.kilocode/rules/`) or project (`.kilocode/rules/`) directories
+3. Start a complex task — Kilo Code will automatically create planning files

+
+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:**
+

+## 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 with Files
+
+Work like Manus: Use persistent markdown files as your "working memory on disk."
+
+## Important: Where Files Go
+
+When using this skill:
+
+- **Templates** are stored in the skill directory at `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/`
+- **Your planning files** (`task_plan.md`, `findings.md`, `progress.md`) should be created in **your project directory** — the folder where you're working
+
+| Location | What Goes There |
+|----------|-----------------|
+| Skill directory (`${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
+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.
+
+## 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 [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

+
+Action: Write config.json (default config)
+Action: Read config.json

+## 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                    │

+│     - Continue until complete            │
+├─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│  7. DELIVER OUTCOME                      │

+## 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."

+-->
+
+## 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]

+## 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

+  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]

+## 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

OthmanAdiandClaude Opus 4.5	dcb92c0a64	fix: add root-level templates/scripts for CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT resolution (v2.1.2) Fixes #18 - Templates not found in cache after update Root cause: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} resolves to repo root, but templates were only in subfolders (planning-with-files/ and skills/planning-with-files/). Solution: Added templates/ and scripts/ at repo root level so they're accessible regardless of how CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT resolves. Changes: - Add templates/ directory at repo root - Add scripts/ directory at repo root - Bump version to 2.1.2 in all manifests - Update CHANGELOG with fix details - Update troubleshooting.md with cache clearing instructions - Update README file structure diagram Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-01-11 21:47:04 +01:00
