Persistent file-based planning for multi-step AI-agent work. Keeps task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md on disk; lifecycle hooks inject selected project planning context. Automatic recovery reads project planning files only. Explicit session-catchup.py --metadata reads same-project local agent session records and emits aggregate counts only; --replay may emit bounded nonce-framed excerpts. Optional gated mode can request continuation only when the host supports it and never runs commands…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Planning with Files

Work like Manus: Use persistent markdown files as your "working memory on disk."

## FIRST: Restore Project State

**Before continuing**, resolve the plan this task owns. Use the installed `scripts/resolve-plan-dir.sh` (or `.ps1`) with the host's `PLAN_ID` and `PWF_PLAN_ROOT`, then read `task_plan.md`, `progress.md`, and `findings.md` from that selected directory. If an explicit selector is rejected, or multiple named plans exist without `PLAN_ID`, correct the pin and do not fall back to another task. Run `git diff --stat` for code changes not yet recorded there. All planning filenames below mean that selected directory. For parallel tasks, pin each host before it starts or use separate worktrees; a child process export does not change its host. One orchestrator owns a shared plan and summaries, while workers use assigned files or ledgers.

```bash
# Linux/macOS (auto-detects python3 or python)
$(command -v python3 || command -v python) scripts/session-catchup.py --metadata "$(pwd)"
```

```powershell
# Windows PowerShell
python ".\scripts\session-catchup.py" --metadata (Get-Location)
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mxyhi/ok-skills/planning-with-files@sha256:73075ef7a8f4c9e1

The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.26.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
