| description | Manus-style file-based planning for multi-step work. Keep task_plan.md, findings.md, progress.md in your run workspace so the filesystem is your working memory. Use for any research/build with 5+ tool calls. Adapted for OpenMark sub-agents from Ahmad's planning-with-files v3.0.0. |

Planning with Files (OpenMark sub-agent edition)
Work like Manus: treat the context window as RAM (volatile, limited) and your
filesystem run workspace as disk (persistent, unlimited). Anything important
gets written to disk. You already have the tools: save_finding,
read_finding, list_findings, and the shell tool. Your run directory was
given to you in the system prompt under "Your filesystem workspace".
When to use this
Use for any mission with 5+ tool calls: deep research, multi-source comparison,
landscape scans, anything where findings would otherwise be lost to context
compaction. Skip for one-shot lookups.
The three files
Create these in your run workspace at the start of a non-trivial mission:
| File | Purpose | Update when |
|---|
task_plan.md | Phases, goal, decisions | after each phase |
findings.md | Raw discoveries, sources, URLs | after ANY discovery |
progress.md | What you did, errors, results | throughout |
