Manus-style persistent file-based planning for AI coding agents: keeps task\_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md on disk so work survives context loss and /clear. Use when asked to plan out, break down, or organize a multi-step project, research task, or any work requiring 5+ tool calls. Supports automatic session recovery after /clear.

## From README

Planning with Files Work like Manus: Use persistent markdown files as your "working memory on disk." FIRST: Restore Context (v2.2.0) Before doing anything else, check if planning files exist and read them: If taskplan.md exists, read taskplan.md, progress.md, and findings.md immediately.
