Organize complex tasks with three Markdown files for plans, findings, and progress. Keep goals, decisions, errors, and test results available across sessions so the agent can review its position and continue work with a clear next step.
Create and manage persistent markdown planning files for structured task execution. Use when the user asks to "create a plan", "track progress", "start a research project", or when a task requires more than 5 tool calls and needs structured phase tracking to stay focused and avoid goal drift.
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
Solve the execution problem -- staying focused during complex, multi-step tasks. Uses persistent markdown files to track goals, findings, and progress so you never lose context. Part of the AI Maestro suite.
Create in docs_dev/ (or $AIMAESTRO_PLANNING_DIR):
| File | Purpose | Update When |
|---|---|---|
task_plan.md | Goals, phases, decisions, errors | After each phase |
findings.md | Research, discoveries, resources | During research |
progress.md | Session log, test results | Throughout session |
PLAN_DIR="${AIMAESTRO_PLANNING_DIR:-docs_dev}"
mkdir -p "$PLAN_DIR"
Then create task_plan.md with:
# Task: [Goal]
## Phases
- [ ] Phase 1: Research
- [ ] Phase 2: Design
- [ ] Phase 3: Implement
- [ ] Phase 4: Test
## Decisions
| Decision | Rationale | Date |
|----------|-----------|------|
## Errors Encountered
| Error | Attempt | Resolution |
|-------|---------|------------|
task_plan.mdfindings.md| Strike | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Diagnose root cause, apply targeted fix |
| 2 | Try a different approach entirely |
| 3 | Question assumptions, search for similar issues |
| After 3 | Escalate to user with all attempts documented |
