Manus-style persistent file-based planning for AI coding agents: keeps task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md on disk so work survives context loss and /clear. Use when asked to plan out, break down, or organize a multi-step project, research task, or any work requiring 5+ tool calls. Supports automatic session recovery after /clear.
