planning-with-files

To plan complex multi-step tasks with persistent memory, you create and maintain task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md files on disk. This durable file-based approach tracks phases, logs decisions, and ensures no information is lost across sessions.

The best way to track research phases and recover work after an interruption is using structured markdown files for session recovery. By enforcing an '2-Action' discipline and logging progress, you can resume multi-phase work exactly where you left off.

You document task progress and findings during long-running projects by writing structured entries to dedicated markdown files. The workflow enforces creating findings.md for discoveries and progress.md for logs, providing a durable memory for ongoing research.

Yes, file-based project planning works without external dependencies. It creates persistent on-disk artifacts like task_plan.md to guide multi-phase workflows, tracking statuses and decisions independently for structured project planning.

Your task plan loses information between sessions because it lacks a durable on-disk memory structure. Creating persistent files like task_plan.md and findings.md solves this by maintaining structured phase tracking and enforcing logging discipline.
