# Planning with Files
Work like Manus: Use persistent markdown files as your "working memory on disk."
## Quick Start
Before ANY complex task:
1. **Create `task_plan.md`** in the working directory
2. **Define phases** with checkboxes
3. **Update after each phase** - mark [x] and change status
4. **Read before deciding** - refresh goals in attention window
## The 3-File Pattern
