OthmanAdi/planning-with-files
A plugin that teaches AI coding assistants to plan long-term tasks using Markdown files, preventing context loss in long chats, ideal for developers handling complex projects.
Claude Code skill implementing Manus-style persistent markdown planning — the workflow pattern behind the $2B acquisition.
AI Summary
What This Project Does
Simply put, this is a "notebook" plugin for AI coding assistants (like Claude Code), teaching them to write plans in Markdown files instead of just chatting.
What Problems It Solves
It solves the issue of AI "forgetting" or losing context during long tasks, solidifying progress in files that can be reviewed and resumed anytime.
Who It's For
Ideal for programmers using AI development tools like Claude Code or Cursor, and users needing AI help with complex multi-step tasks.
Typical Use Cases
1. Letting AI plan the entire development flow of a small software project.
2. Asking AI to remember previous feedback and continue unfinished coding tasks.
3. Using files as intermediate records for humans to check AI thinking during team collaboration.
4. Running automated scripts where AI executes steps without interruption.
Key Strengths & Highlights
It's built on the workflow of Manus, a company acquired by Meta, with high community validation and security-audited code, making it more reliable than random scripts.
Getting Started Requirements
Requires configuring a Claude Code or Skill-supporting AI environment; no coding needed, just install via README instructions, but some AI tool experience is helpful.
Purpose
Suitable for scenarios requiring AI to complete multi-step complex tasks continuously, like project development or automation flows, not for simple one-off Q&A or chatting.
