SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manus provides a filesystem-backed memory and planning pattern for long-running AI tasks, ensuring context is preserved across many tool interactions by persisting planning artifacts to disk.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persistent on-disk memory for task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md to maintain state across sessions.
  • Phase-based planning and structured templates to guide multi-step work and enable session recovery.
  • Scripted automation (init-session, session-catchup, and utilities) to manage planning workflow and error handling.

Quick Start

Initialize planning files with the provided templates and start a new planning session to manage a multi-phase task.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I persist task planning state across multiple AI agent sessions?▼

You can persist task planning state by writing planning artifacts like task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md to disk as a memory layer, ensuring context is preserved and recoverable across long-running agent sessions.

What is the best way to recover an interrupted multi-step planning task?▼

Recovering an interrupted multi-step planning task involves using script-based session recovery utilities like init-session and session-catchup to read persisted progress files and resume execution from the last completed phase.

How does filesystem-backed memory work for long-running research tasks?▼

Filesystem-backed memory for long-running research tasks works by continuously saving findings and phase-based plans to disk, creating a durable state record that prevents context loss during complex, multi-step iterative work.

Do I need specific templates to manage multi-phase task planning on disk?▼

Yes, managing multi-phase task planning on disk requires structured templates to initialize task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md files, which guides the workflow and enforces single-tool-per-turn execution constraints.

Why does my agent lose context during complex iterative project work?▼

An agent loses context during complex iterative project work because session state is held in memory only; persisting planning artifacts to disk as a memory layer prevents this loss across tool interactions.

Can I use scripts to automate planning workflow initialization and error handling?▼

Yes, you can use provided scripts like init-session and session-catchup to automate planning workflow initialization, manage session state recovery, and handle errors during long-running multi-step tasks.
