+name: planning-with-files
+description: Manus-style file-based planning for complex tasks. Creates and maintains task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md under .kiro/plan/. Use when planning, breaking down work, resuming a multi-step task, tracking phases, or restoring context after compaction. Trigger phrases include start planning, continue task, resume work, current phase, restore context.
+license: MIT
+compatibility: Requires a POSIX shell or PowerShell, Python 3 for session-catchup, and read/write access to the workspace. See Kiro Agent Skills — https://kiro.dev/docs/skills/
+allowed-tools: shell read write
+metadata:
+  version: "3.0.0-kiro"
+  integration: kiro
+---
+
+# Planning with Files (Kiro)
+
+Work like **Manus**: use persistent markdown as your **working memory on disk** while the model context behaves like volatile RAM. Deep background: [references/manus-principles.md](references/manus-principles.md).
+
+Kiro complements this with:
+
+- **Agent Skills** (this file) — progressive disclosure when the task matches the description.  
+- **Steering** — after bootstrap, `.kiro/steering/planning-context.md` uses `inclusion: auto` and `#[[file:…]]` live references ([Steering docs](https://kiro.dev/docs/steering/)).
+
+**Hooks are not bundled:** project-level hooks affect every chat in the workspace. Prefer this skill + steering + the reminder block below.
+
+---
+
+## STEP 0 — Bootstrap (once per workspace)
+
+From the **workspace root**:
+
+```bash
+sh .kiro/skills/planning-with-files/assets/scripts/bootstrap.sh
+```
+
+Windows (PowerShell):
+
+```powershell
+pwsh -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .kiro/skills/planning-with-files/assets/scripts/bootstrap.ps1
+```
+
+Creates:
+
+- `.kiro/plan/task_plan.md`, `findings.md`, `progress.md`
+- `.kiro/steering/planning-context.md` (auto + `#[[file:.kiro/plan/…]]`)
+
+Idempotent: existing files are not overwritten.
+
+**Import as a workspace skill (optional):** Kiro → *Agent Steering & Skills* → *Import a skill* → choose this `planning-with-files` folder ([Skills docs](https://kiro.dev/docs/skills/)).
+
+---
+
+## STEP 1 — Persistent reminder (after skill activation)
+
+Append the following block to the **end of your reply**, and repeat it at the **end of subsequent replies** while this planning session is active:
+
+> `[Planning Active]` Before each turn, read `.kiro/plan/task_plan.md` and `.kiro/plan/progress.md` to restore context.
+
+---
+
+## STEP 2 — Read plan every turn (while active)
+
+1. Read `.kiro/plan/task_plan.md` — goal, phases, status  
+2. Read `.kiro/plan/progress.md` — recent actions  
+3. Use `.kiro/plan/findings.md` for research and decisions  
+
+If `.kiro/plan/` is missing, run STEP 0.
+
+---
+
+## STEP 3 — Session catchup (after a long gap or suspected drift)
+
+Summaries + file mtimes (compare with `git diff --stat` if needed):
+
+```bash
+$(command -v python3 || command -v python) \
+  .kiro/skills/planning-with-files/assets/scripts/session-catchup.py "$(pwd)"
+```
+
+Windows:
+
+```powershell
+python .kiro/skills/planning-with-files/assets/scripts/session-catchup.py (Get-Location)
+```
+
+Then reconcile planning files with the actual codebase.
+
+---
+
+## Optional — Phase checklist
+
+From workspace root (defaults to `.kiro/plan/task_plan.md`):
+
+```bash
+sh .kiro/skills/planning-with-files/assets/scripts/check-complete.sh
+```
+
+```powershell
+pwsh -File .kiro/skills/planning-with-files/assets/scripts/check-complete.ps1
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rules (summary)
+
+Full detail: [references/planning-rules.md](references/planning-rules.md). Inline template skeletons: [references/planning-templates.md](references/planning-templates.md).
+
+1. **Plan first** — no open-ended multi-step work without `task_plan.md`.  
+2. **2-action rule** — after every two view/search/browser steps, write to `findings.md`.  
+3. **Read before big decisions** — refresh `task_plan.md` into attention.  
+4. **Update after each phase** — `in_progress` → `complete`, log errors.  
+5. **Never repeat the same failed action** — change tool, approach, or assumptions.
+
+## When to use
+
+**Use:** multi-step work, research, refactors, anything that spans many tool calls.  
+
+**Skip:** one-off questions, tiny single-file edits.
+
+## Anti-patterns
+
+| Avoid | Prefer |
+|-------|--------|
+| Goals only in chat | `.kiro/plan/task_plan.md` |
+| Silent retries | Log errors; change approach |
+| Huge pasted logs in chat | Append to `findings.md` or `progress.md` |

+## 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() |

+## 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.

+# Manus context engineering (reference)
+
+This workflow is inspired by **Manus**-style context engineering: treat markdown on disk as durable working memory while the model context window behaves like volatile RAM.
+
+**Kiro layout:** planning files live under **`.kiro/plan/`** (not the project root). See [Kiro Steering — file references](https://kiro.dev/docs/steering/) for `#[[file:path]]` live includes.
+
+---
+
+# 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 `.kiro/plan/task_plan.md` before major decisions. Goals appear in the attention window.
+
+### 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)
+```
+
+### Strategy 2: Context Isolation (Multi-Agent)
+
+Multi-agent setups can isolate exploration in separate contexts while persisting shared state in files (e.g. under `.kiro/plan/`).
+
+### Strategy 3: Context Offloading
+
+- Store full results in the filesystem, not only in context
+- Progressive disclosure: load information only as needed
+

-# Planning Rules
-
-Critical rules for effective file-based planning.
-
-## Rule 1: Create Plan First
-
-Never start a complex task without `task_plan.md`. Non-negotiable.
-
-## Rule 2: The 2-Action Rule
-
-After every 2 view/browser/search operations, IMMEDIATELY save key findings to `findings.md`.
-
-This prevents visual/multimodal information from being lost.
-
-## Rule 3: Read Before Decide
-
-Before major decisions, read `task_plan.md`. This keeps goals in your attention window.
-
-## Rule 4: Update After Act
-
-After completing any phase:
-- Mark phase status: `in_progress` → `complete`
-- Log any errors encountered
-- Note files created/modified
-
-## Rule 5: Log ALL Errors
-
-Every error goes in the plan file with this format:
-
-```markdown
-## Errors Encountered
-| Error | Attempt | Resolution |
-|-------|---------|------------|
-| FileNotFoundError | 1 | Created default config |
-| API timeout | 2 | Added retry logic |
-```
-
-## Rule 6: Never Repeat Failures
-
-If an action failed, the next action must be different. Track what you tried and 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
-  → 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
-```
-
-## 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 |

-# Planning with Files Workflow
-
-Use persistent markdown files as your "working memory on disk" — the Manus pattern that made a $2B acquisition.
-
-## The Core Pattern
-
-```
-Context Window = RAM (volatile, limited)
-Filesystem = Disk (persistent, unlimited)
-
-→ Anything important gets written to disk.
-```
-
-## Required Files
-
-Create these three files in your project root before starting complex tasks:
-
-| 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 |
-
-## Quick Start
-
-1. **Create `task_plan.md`** with goal, phases, and status tracking
-2. **Create `findings.md`** for research and technical decisions
-3. **Create `progress.md`** for session logging
-4. **Re-read plan before decisions** — keeps goals in attention
-5. **Update after each phase** — mark complete, log errors
-
-## 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

+## [2.27.0] - 2026-03-20
+
+### Added
+
+- **Kiro Agent Skill support** (PR #112 by @EListenX)
+  - Full `.kiro/skills/planning-with-files/` layout with SKILL.md, bootstrap scripts, templates, references
+  - Bootstrap creates `.kiro/plan/` for planning files and `.kiro/steering/planning-context.md` with `#[[file:]]` live references
+  - Includes session-catchup.py and check-complete scripts adapted for Kiro's `.kiro/plan/` path
+  - Replaces the old `.kiro/scripts/` and `.kiro/steering/` approach with proper Agent Skill format
+
+### Changed
+
+- Updated `scripts/sync-ide-folders.py` to skip `.kiro` (Kiro uses its own skill layout)
+- Rewrote `docs/kiro.md` to reflect new Agent Skill approach
+
+### Thanks
+
+- @EListenX (Yi Chenxi) for the thorough Kiro integration with proper Agent Skill format

-How to use planning-with-files with [Kiro](https://kiro.dev).
+Use **planning-with-files** with [Kiro](https://kiro.dev): **Agent Skills**, optional **Steering** (created by bootstrap), and on-disk markdown under `.kiro/plan/`.
+
+Official references:
+
+- [Agent Skills](https://kiro.dev/docs/skills/)
+- [Steering](https://kiro.dev/docs/steering/) (inclusion modes, `#[[file:path]]` live file references)

-## Important: Kiro Uses Steering Files
+## What ships in this repo
 
-Kiro doesn't use the standard `SKILL.md` format. Instead, it uses **Steering Files** — markdown documents in `.kiro/steering/` that provide persistent project knowledge.
-
-See: [Kiro Steering Docs](https://kiro.dev/docs/cli/steering/)
-
----
-
-## What This Integration Adds
+Only the workspace skill folder:
 
 ```

-│   ├── planning-workflow.md   # Core workflow and quick start
-│   ├── planning-rules.md      # Critical rules and error protocols

+    └── templates/       # task_plan, findings, progress, planning-context (steering)
 ```
 
+Running **bootstrap** (from the project root) creates:
+
+| Path | Role |
+|------|------|
+| `.kiro/plan/task_plan.md` | Goal, phases, decisions, errors |
+| `.kiro/plan/findings.md` | Research and technical decisions |
+| `.kiro/plan/progress.md` | Session log |
+| `.kiro/steering/planning-context.md` | `inclusion: auto` + `#[[file:.kiro/plan/…]]` |
+
+Design note: **hooks are not installed by default.** Hooks are workspace-wide. This integration uses the skill, generated steering, and the `[Planning Active]` reminder in `SKILL.md`.
+
 ---
 
-## Installation (Workspace)
-
-Copy to your project:
+## Install into your project
 
 ```bash
 git clone https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files.git
-cp -r planning-with-files/.kiro .kiro
-rm -rf planning-with-files
+mkdir -p .kiro/skills
+cp -r planning-with-files/.kiro/skills/planning-with-files ./.kiro/skills/
 ```
 
----
-
-## Installation (Global)
-
-Copy to your global Kiro config:
+Then from your **project root**:
 
 ```bash
-git clone https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files.git
-mkdir -p ~/.kiro/steering ~/.kiro/scripts
-cp planning-with-files/.kiro/steering/* ~/.kiro/steering/
-cp planning-with-files/.kiro/scripts/* ~/.kiro/scripts/
-rm -rf planning-with-files
+sh .kiro/skills/planning-with-files/assets/scripts/bootstrap.sh
 ```
 
-Global steering applies to all your projects.
+Windows (PowerShell):
+
+```powershell
+pwsh -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .kiro/skills/planning-with-files/assets/scripts/bootstrap.ps1
+```
 
 ---
 
-## Usage
+## Import the skill in Kiro
 
-1. Start Kiro in your project
-2. For complex tasks, create the planning files:
+1. Open **Agent Steering & Skills** in the Kiro panel.  
+2. **Import a skill** → local folder → `.kiro/skills/planning-with-files`  
+3. Or copy that folder to `~/.kiro/skills/planning-with-files` for a **global** skill ([scope](https://kiro.dev/docs/skills/#skill-scope)).
+
+---
+
+## Scripts (under the skill)
+
+All paths are relative to the **project root** after you have copied `.kiro/skills/planning-with-files/` into the project.
+
+| Script | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| `assets/scripts/bootstrap.sh` / `bootstrap.ps1` | Create `.kiro/plan/*` and `planning-context.md` (idempotent) |
+| `assets/scripts/session-catchup.py` | Print mtime + short summary of planning files |
+| `assets/scripts/check-complete.sh` / `check-complete.ps1` | Report phase completion vs `.kiro/plan/task_plan.md` |
+
+Examples:
 
 ```bash
-# Using the init script
-bash .kiro/scripts/init-session.sh
-
-# Or manually create:
-# - task_plan.md
-# - findings.md
-# - progress.md
+sh .kiro/skills/planning-with-files/assets/scripts/check-complete.sh
+$(command -v python3 || command -v python) \
+  .kiro/skills/planning-with-files/assets/scripts/session-catchup.py "$(pwd)"
 ```
 
-3. The steering files automatically guide Kiro to:
-   - Create plans before complex tasks
-   - Update findings after research
-   - Log progress and errors
-   - Follow the 3-strike error protocol
-
----
-
-## How Steering Works
-
-Kiro loads steering files automatically in every interaction. The planning guidance becomes part of Kiro's project understanding without you needing to explain it each time.
-
-| File | Purpose |
-|------|---------|
-| `planning-workflow.md` | Core pattern and quick start |
-| `planning-rules.md` | Critical rules and error handling |
-| `planning-templates.md` | Copy-paste templates |
-
----
-
-## Helper Scripts
-
-```bash
-# Initialize all planning files
-bash .kiro/scripts/init-session.sh
-
-# Windows PowerShell
-powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .kiro/scripts/init-session.ps1
-
-# Verify all phases complete
-bash .kiro/scripts/check-complete.sh
+```powershell
+pwsh -File .kiro/skills/planning-with-files/assets/scripts/check-complete.ps1
+python .kiro/skills/planning-with-files/assets/scripts/session-catchup.py (Get-Location)
 ```

-## Notes
+## Manus-style context engineering
 
-- Steering files are loaded automatically — no manual invocation needed
-- Workspace steering (`.kiro/`) takes priority over global (`~/.kiro/`)
-- Planning files (`task_plan.md`, etc.) go in your project root, not in `.kiro/`
+The skill description and [references/manus-principles.md](../.kiro/skills/planning-with-files/references/manus-principles.md) document the **filesystem-as-memory** pattern discussed in Manus-style agent context engineering.
+
+---
+
+## Template reference
+
+See [references/planning-templates.md](../.kiro/skills/planning-with-files/references/planning-templates.md) for compact paste-friendly skeletons. To use them as **manual steering** in Kiro, copy that file into `.kiro/steering/` and add the YAML front matter described at the top of that file.
