# Planning with Files

## Overview

Writing the plan as a file before acting turns vague intentions into reviewable, shareable, resumable work.

For AI agents: a plan file is the contract — the human reviews it, the agent executes it, both can resume from it.

For humans: plan files beat plans in heads or chat scrollback. They're versionable, linkable, and check-off-able.

Core practice: PLAN.md (or similar) with goal, steps, status, and decisions — updated as work progresses.
