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:

1. Use the installed `scripts/resolve-plan-dir.sh` (or `.ps1`) with the task's `PLAN_ID` and `PWF_PLAN_ROOT`. Read `task_plan.md`, `progress.md`, and `findings.md` from that one selected directory. A root `task_plan.md` must not override a selected `.planning/<id>/` plan.
2. If an explicit selector is rejected, or multiple named plans exist without `PLAN_ID`, stop plan recovery and correct the pin. Do not fall back to another task. Use the legacy project-root files only when no selector or named plan applies.
3. Run `git diff --stat` to see code changes that may not yet be recorded in the planning files.

All planning filenames below refer to this selected directory, even when the shell runs elsewhere. For parallel tasks, pin each host before starting it or use separate worktrees. A worker joining an existing task uses its assigned plan; it must not create or overwrite a competing root plan.
