Manus-style persistent markdown planning - use filesystem as working memory with task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md for complex multi-step tasks that survive context resets.
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 Skill Manus-style persistent markdown planning for complex tasks. ## Usage ``` /planning-with-files create "<task description>" /planning-with-files update <phase> <status> /planning-with-files status /planning-with-files finding "<finding text>" /planning-with-files progress "<progress note>" /planning-with-files recover ``` ## The 3-File Pattern For every complex task, THREE files are created: | File | Purpose | Updated When | | --- | --- | --- | | `task_plan.md` | Track phases and progress | Phase changes | | `findings.md` | Store research and discoveries | After research | | `progress.md` | Session log and test results | After actions | ## Core Principles ### Context Window = RAM, Filesystem = Disk ``` Context Window → Volatile, limited capacity Filesystem → Persistent, unlimited storage ``` ### The 2-Action Rule After every 2 view/browse/research operations, save findings to `findings.md`. ### Never Start Without a Plan Always create `task_plan.md` before beginning work. The plan is your persistent roadmap. ## Plan Template ```markdown # Task Plan: [Title] ## Objective [What we're trying to achieve] ## Phases …

How to install
mdr add chainlesschain/chainlesschain/planning-with-files@sha256:e1049732dea47573The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
