Individual skill

planning-with-files

Persistent file-based planning for multi-step AI-agent work. Keeps task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md on disk; Kiro skill instructions and steering state read selected project planning context. Recovery reads project planning files and their timestamps only, not agent transcript stores. This adapter registers no Stop hook, never requests continuation, and never runs commands declared in Markdown. The skill has no network upload path. Use for research or work needing 5+ tool calls.

# Planning with Files (Kiro)

Work like **Manus**: use persistent markdown as your **working memory on disk** while the model context behaves like volatile RAM. Deep background: [references/manus-principles.md](references/manus-principles.md).

Kiro complements this with:

- **Agent Skills** (this file) — progressive disclosure when the task matches the description.  
- **Steering** — after bootstrap, `.kiro/steering/planning-context.md` uses `inclusion: auto` and `#[[file:.kiro/plan/…]]` live references ([Steering docs](https://kiro.dev/docs/steering/)).

**Hooks are not bundled:** project-level hooks affect every chat in the workspace. Prefer this skill + steering + the reminder block below.
