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

> Hermes note: lifecycle automation for this skill comes from the Hermes adapter plugin in `.hermes/plugins/planning-with-files/`. Install it with `hermes plugins install OthmanAdi/planning-with-files/.hermes/plugins/planning-with-files`, then `hermes plugins enable planning-with-files`. Full guide: docs/hermes.md in the repository.

# Planning with Files

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

## FIRST: Restore Project State

**Before doing anything else**, check if planning files exist and read them:

1. If `task_plan.md` exists (in the project root, or in the active `.planning/<plan>/` directory), read `task_plan.md`, `progress.md`, and `findings.md` immediately. The `planning_with_files_status` tool or `/pwf-status` names the active plan.
   When several plans are available, use `planning_with_files_select` with the exact `.planning/` directory name and project `cwd`, or an absolute plan-directory path. The selection belongs to this Hermes conversation. A successful read of a named plan's `task_plan.md` also selects it when this conversation is unbound; reading another plan for reference does not switch an existing selection.
