GODMODE Planning with Files

Task: $ARGUMENTS

Step 1: Create tracking files

Create these 3 files in project's .claude/ directory:

task_plan.md

# Task Plan
## Goal: [one sentence]
## Steps:
1. [ ] Step description
2. [ ] Step description
...
## Dependencies: [what must exist before starting]
## Success criteria: [how to verify done]

findings.md

# Findings
## Discovered during execution:
- [timestamp] Finding description

progress.md

# Progress
## Completed:
- [timestamp] What was done
## Current: What's being worked on
## Blocked: Any blockers
## Next: What's coming

Step 2: Execute with continuous reference

During execution:

1. Before EACH step -> re-read task_plan.md to stay on track
2. After EACH step -> update progress.md
3. When discovering anything new -> add to findings.md
4. When completing a step -> check off in task_plan.md

Step 3: Completion

When all steps done:

1. Final update to all 3 files
2. Verify ALL success criteria met
3. Report summary to user

Rules:

• NEVER skip re-reading task_plan.md between steps
• findings.md captures ANYTHING unexpected
• progress.md always reflects CURRENT state
• If plan needs changing -> update task_plan.md FIRST, then continue
