OthmanAdi 2ade778cf2 fix: folder structure - removed duplicate planning-with-files/ folder (v2.4.1) 2026-01-20 11:08:32 +01:00
OthmanAdi 3e08dd9bd5 fix: remove duplicate planning-with-files/ folder - only skills/ should exist 2026-01-20 11:08:10 +01:00
OthmanAdi 1e5066957a fix: simplify SKILL.md to minimum spec - only name, description, license 2026-01-20 11:01:56 +01:00
OthmanAdi ac76baea26 fix: SKILL.md frontmatter now complies with Agent Skills spec (fixes #39)
BREAKING CHANGE: Removed non-standard frontmatter fields

Changes:
- Removed invalid 'hooks:' field (not supported in SKILL.md per spec)
- Removed invalid top-level 'version:' (moved to metadata.version)
- Removed 'user-invocable:' field (not in official spec)
- Changed 'allowed-tools:' from YAML list to space-delimited string
- Removed ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable references

This should fix /planning-with-files slash command not appearing.

OthmanAdi 7de9247951 fix: replace CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT with IDE-specific paths for cross-platform compatibility
Fixes #38

- Replaced ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} in documentation with explicit paths for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor
- The variable works in YAML hooks but not in user-facing commands
- Users can now copy-paste the correct path for their IDE
- Maintains backward compatibility with Claude Code while fixing Codex support

OthmanAdi c5690231ac chore: Remove internal analysis file from repo
- Remove COMPREHENSIVE_ISSUE_ANALYSIS.md (internal notes)
- This file was accidentally committed and should not be public

Nicolas MaroisandClaude Opus 4.5 3237ad2763 fix: Session-agnostic catchup scanning across all sessions (#37)
The session-catchup.py script now properly scans across ALL sessions to find
unsynced context since the last planning file update.

Changes:
- Skip the current session (most recently modified)
- Find the most recent planning file update across all previous sessions
- Collect ALL conversation from that point forward, across all sessions
- Show session markers [Session: xxx...] when context spans multiple sessions
- Include intermediate sessions that have no planning updates but have work
- Show up to 100 messages (was 20), with note if truncated

Example: If planning was updated in session A, then work continued in sessions
B and C without updates, the catchup now shows context from A, B, and C.

## Prerequisites
- Codex IDE installed
- Git installed (optional, for cloning)
## Installation
### Option 1: Clone Repository (Recommended)
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.codex/skills
cd ~/.codex/skills
git clone https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files.git
```
### Option 2: Manual Copy
1. Download or clone this repository
2. Copy the entire `planning-with-files/` directory to `~/.codex/skills/`
3. Ensure the structure matches:
```
~/.codex/skills/planning-with-files/
├── planning-with-files/
│ ├── SKILL.md
│ ├── templates/
│ └── scripts/
```
## Usage
### If Using Superpowers
If you have [obra/superpowers](https://github.com/obra/superpowers) installed:
```bash
~/.codex/superpowers/.codex/superpowers-codex use-skill planning-with-files
```
Superpowers will find it in your personal skills directory.
### If NOT Using Superpowers
Manually read the skill file when starting complex tasks:
```bash
cat ~/.codex/skills/planning-with-files/planning-with-files/SKILL.md
```
Or add to your `~/.codex/AGENTS.md`:
```markdown
## Planning with Files
<IMPORTANT>
For complex multi-step tasks (3+ steps, research, building projects):
1. Read the planning-with-files skill: `cat ~/.codex/skills/planning-with-files/planning-with-files/SKILL.md`
2. Create task_plan.md, findings.md, progress.md in your project directory
3. Follow the 3-file pattern throughout the task
</IMPORTANT>
```
## Verification
Check that the skill exists:
```bash
ls -la ~/.codex/skills/planning-with-files/planning-with-files/SKILL.md
```
## Troubleshooting
### Skill not found
- Verify path: `~/.codex/skills/planning-with-files/planning-with-files/SKILL.md`
- Check file exists and is readable
- Ensure SKILL.md has proper YAML frontmatter
### Scripts not executing
**Windows users:**
- Use PowerShell versions: `*.ps1`
- Set execution policy: `Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser`
**Unix/Mac users:**
- Make scripts executable: `chmod +x ~/.codex/skills/planning-with-files/scripts/*.sh`

# Installing planning-with-files for OpenCode
## Prerequisites
- OpenCode.ai installed
- Git installed (optional, for cloning)
## Installation
### Option 1: Global Installation (All Projects)
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/opencode/skills
cd ~/.config/opencode/skills
git clone https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files.git
```
### Option 2: Project-Specific Installation
```bash
# In your OpenCode project root
mkdir -p .opencode/skills
cd .opencode/skills
git clone https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files.git
```
### Option 3: Manual Copy
**For global installation:**
1. Download or clone this repository
2. Copy to `~/.config/opencode/skills/planning-with-files/`
**For project installation:**
1. Download or clone this repository
2. Copy to `.opencode/skills/planning-with-files/` in your project
## File Structure
After installation:
```
~/.config/opencode/skills/planning-with-files/ (or .opencode/skills/planning-with-files/)
├── planning-with-files/
│ ├── SKILL.md # Main skill file
│ ├── templates/
│ │ ├── task_plan.md
│ │ ├── findings.md
│ │ └── progress.md
│ └── scripts/
│ ├── check-complete.sh
│ ├── check-complete.ps1
│ ├── init-session.sh
│ ├── init-session.ps1
│ └── session-catchup.py
```
## Usage
### If Using Superpowers Plugin
If you have [obra/superpowers](https://github.com/obra/superpowers) installed as an OpenCode plugin:
```
Use the use_skill tool with skill_name: "planning-with-files"
```
OpenCode will find it automatically (personal skills override superpowers skills).
### If NOT Using Superpowers
You can still manually load the skill:
1. Navigate to `~/.config/opencode/skills/planning-with-files/planning-with-files/`
2. Read SKILL.md
3. Follow the instructions for creating task_plan.md, findings.md, progress.md
Or create a custom tool/command to load it.
## Skill Priority
If installed as:
- **Project skill** (`.opencode/skills/planning-with-files/`) - Highest priority
- **Personal skill** (`~/.config/opencode/skills/planning-with-files/`) - Medium priority
- If superpowers has a planning-with-files skill - Lowest priority
Project skills override personal skills, which override superpowers skills.
## Verification
**Global installation:**
```bash
ls -la ~/.config/opencode/skills/planning-with-files/planning-with-files/SKILL.md
```
**Project installation:**
```bash
ls -la .opencode/skills/planning-with-files/planning-with-files/SKILL.md
```
## Troubleshooting
### Skill not loading
1. Verify SKILL.md exists at the correct path
2. Check YAML frontmatter is valid:
```yaml
---
name: planning-with-files
description: ...
---
```
3. If using superpowers plugin, use `find_skills` tool to verify it's discovered
### Scripts not executing
**Windows:**
- Use PowerShell versions: `*.ps1`
- Set execution policy: `Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser`
**Unix/Mac:**
- Make executable: `chmod +x ~/.config/opencode/skills/planning-with-files/scripts/*.sh`
### oh-my-opencode Blocking
If using oh-my-opencode and the skill isn't recognized:
1. Check `~/.config/opencode/oh-my-opencode.json`
2. Ensure planning-with-files is NOT in `disabled_skills` array:
```json
{
"disabled_skills": []
}
```
3. Restart OpenCode

## 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?
---
## Related Issue
This work resolves [Issue #19](https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files/issues/19) requested by @wqh17101.

# 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 ❤️
This project grew from **one developer's experiment** to **9,600+ stars** and **10+ contributors** in weeks.
**Thank you to everyone who:**
- ⭐ Starred the repo

# 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" |
-->
<!-- 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 -->
-
---
<!--
REMINDER: The 2-Action Rule
After every 2 view/browser/search operations, you MUST update this file.
This prevents visual information from being lost when context resets.

WHY: Provides context for what was done, making it easier to resume or debug.
WHEN: Update as you work through the phase, or at least when you complete it.
-->
- **Status:** in_progress
- **Started:** [timestamp]
<!--
STATUS: Same as task_plan.md (pending, in_progress, complete)
TIMESTAMP: When you started this phase (e.g., "2026-01-15 10:00")
-->
- Actions taken:
<!--
WHAT: List of specific actions you performed.
EXAMPLE:
- Created todo.py with basic structure
- Implemented add functionality
- Fixed FileNotFoundError
-->
-
- Files created/modified:
<!--
WHAT: Which files you created or changed.
WHY: Quick reference for what was touched. Helps with debugging and review.
EXAMPLE:
- todo.py (created)
- todos.json (created by app)
- task_plan.md (updated)
-->
-
### Phase 2: [Title]
<!--
WHAT: Same structure as Phase 1, for the next phase.
WHY: Keep a separate log entry for each phase to track progress clearly.
-->
- **Status:** pending
- Actions taken:
-
- Files created/modified:
-
## Test Results
<!--
WHAT: Table of tests you ran, what you expected, what actually happened.
WHY: Documents verification of functionality. Helps catch regressions.
WHEN: Update as you test features, especially during Phase 4 (Testing & Verification).
EXAMPLE:
| Add task | python todo.py add "Buy milk" | Task added | Task added successfully | ✓ |
| List tasks | python todo.py list | Shows all tasks | Shows all tasks | ✓ |
-->
| Test | Input | Expected | Actual | Status |
|------|-------|----------|--------|--------|
| | | | | |
## Error Log
<!--
WHAT: Detailed log of every error encountered, with timestamps and resolution attempts.
WHY: More detailed than task_plan.md's error table. Helps you learn from mistakes.
WHEN: Add immediately when an error occurs, even if you fix it quickly.
EXAMPLE:
| 2026-01-15 10:35 | FileNotFoundError | 1 | Added file existence check |
| 2026-01-15 10:37 | JSONDecodeError | 2 | Added empty file handling |
-->
<!-- Keep ALL errors - they help avoid repetition -->
| Timestamp | Error | Attempt | Resolution |
|-----------|-------|---------|------------|
| | | 1 | |
## 5-Question Reboot Check
<!--
WHAT: Five questions that verify your context is solid. If you can answer these, you're on track.
WHY: This is the "reboot test" - if you can answer all 5, you can resume work effectively.
WHEN: Update periodically, especially when resuming after a break or context reset.
THE 5 QUESTIONS:
1. Where am I? → Current phase in task_plan.md
2. Where am I going? → Remaining phases
3. What's the goal? → Goal statement in task_plan.md
4. What have I learned? → See findings.md
5. What have I done? → See progress.md (this file)
-->
<!-- If you can answer these, context is solid -->

| Where am I? | Phase X |
| Where am I going? | Remaining phases |
| What's the goal? | [goal statement] |
| What have I learned? | See findings.md |
| What have I done? | See above |

# 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.
WHY: Breaking work into phases prevents overwhelm and makes progress visible.
WHEN: Update status after completing each phase: pending → in_progress → complete
-->
### Phase 1: Requirements & Discovery
<!--
WHAT: Understand what needs to be done and gather initial information.
WHY: Starting without understanding leads to wasted effort. This phase prevents that.
-->
- [ ] Understand user intent
- [ ] Identify constraints and requirements
- [ ] Document findings in findings.md
- **Status:** in_progress
<!--
STATUS VALUES:
- pending: Not started yet
- in_progress: Currently working on this
- complete: Finished this phase
-->
### Phase 2: Planning & Structure
<!--
WHAT: Decide how you'll approach the problem and what structure you'll use.
WHY: Good planning prevents rework. Document decisions so you remember why you chose them.
-->
- [ ] Define technical approach
- [ ] Create project structure if needed
- [ ] Document decisions with rationale
- **Status:** pending
### Phase 3: Implementation
<!--
WHAT: Actually build/create/write the solution.
WHY: This is where the work happens. Break into smaller sub-tasks if needed.
-->
- [ ] Execute the plan step by step
- [ ] Write code to files before executing
- [ ] Test incrementally
- **Status:** pending
### Phase 4: Testing & Verification
<!--
WHAT: Verify everything works and meets requirements.
WHY: Catching issues early saves time. Document test results in progress.md.
-->
- [ ] Verify all requirements met
- [ ] Document test results in progress.md
- [ ] Fix any issues found
- **Status:** pending
### Phase 5: Delivery
<!--
WHAT: Final review and handoff to user.
WHY: Ensures nothing is forgotten and deliverables are complete.
-->
- [ ] Review all output files
- [ ] Ensure deliverables are complete
- [ ] Deliver to user
- **Status:** pending
## Key Questions
<!--
WHAT: Important questions you need to answer during the task.
WHY: These guide your research and decision-making. Answer them as you go.
EXAMPLE:
1. Should tasks persist between sessions? (Yes - need file storage)
2. What format for storing tasks? (JSON file)
-->
1. [Question to answer]
2. [Question to answer]
## Decisions Made
<!--
WHAT: Technical and design decisions you've made, with the reasoning behind them.
WHY: You'll forget why you made choices. This table helps you remember and justify decisions.
WHEN: Update whenever you make a significant choice (technology, approach, structure).
EXAMPLE:
| Use JSON for storage | Simple, human-readable, built-in Python support |
-->
| Decision | Rationale |
|----------|-----------|
| | |
## Errors Encountered
<!--
WHAT: Every error you encounter, what attempt number it was, and how you resolved it.
WHY: Logging errors prevents repeating the same mistakes. This is critical for learning.
WHEN: Add immediately when an error occurs, even if you fix it quickly.
EXAMPLE:
| FileNotFoundError | 1 | Check if file exists, create empty list if not |
| JSONDecodeError | 2 | Handle empty file case explicitly |
-->
| Error | Attempt | Resolution |
|-------|---------|------------|
| | 1 | |
## Notes
<!--
REMINDERS:
- Update phase status as you progress: pending → in_progress → complete
- Re-read this plan before major decisions (attention manipulation)
- Log ALL errors - they help avoid repetition
- Never repeat a failed action - mutate your approach instead
-->
- Update phase status as you progress: pending → in_progress → complete
