A planning skill that keeps three markdown files in your project: task_plan.md (phases and checkboxes, the resume point after /clear), findings.md (research notes and decisions) and progress.md (session log and test results). Activated lifecycle hooks re-inject the active plan, so the agent resumes at the current phase after a context reset. It installs across 60+ agents via the Agent Skills standard, with native plugins for Claude Code, Codex CLI, Qoder CLI, Pi, Hermes Agent, OpenCode and DeepSeek Harness.

Highlights

• The plan is re-read from disk on the next turn after /clear, compaction or a crash
• Parallel tasks get isolated .planning/ directories with the same three files
• Optional SHA-256 plan attestation, a parallel-write guard and a gated completion check for long runs
• Author's evaluation: 96.7% assertion pass rate (29/30) with the skill vs 6.7% without, and 3 of 3 blind A/B wins
