Persistent file-based planning for multi-step AI-agent work. Keeps task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md on disk; lifecycle hooks inject selected project planning context. Automatic recovery reads project planning files only. Explicit session-catchup.py --metadata reads same-project local agent session records and emits aggregate counts only; --replay may emit bounded nonce-framed excerpts. Optional gated mode can request continuation only when the host supports it and never runs commands declared in Markdown. The skill has no network upload path. Use for research or work needing 5+ tool calls.

> Hermes note: lifecycle automation for this skill comes from the Hermes adapter plugin in `.hermes/plugins/planning-with-files/`. Install it with `hermes plugins install OthmanAdi/planning-with-files/.hermes/plugins/planning-with-files`, then `hermes plugins enable planning-with-files`.

# Planning with Files

Work like Manus: Use persistent markdown files as your "working memory on disk."

## FIRST: Restore Project State

**Before doing anything else**, check if planning files exist and read them:

1. If `task_plan.md` exists (in the project root, or in the active `.planning/<plan>/` directory), read `task_plan.md`, `progress.md`, and `findings.md` immediately. The `planning_with_files_status` tool or `/pwf-status` names the active plan.
   When several plans are available, use `planning_with_files_select` with the exact `.planning/` directory name and project `cwd`, or an absolute plan-directory path. The selection belongs to this Hermes conversation. A successful read of a named plan's `task_plan.md` also selects it when this conversation is unbound; reading another plan for reference does not switch an existing selection.
2. Run `git diff --stat` to see code changes that may not yet be recorded in the planning files.
