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. Hermes adaptation with minimal notes.

Same solid core as the original plus an unusually honest section admitting exactly where the Hermes lifecycle adapter falls short of the original hooks.
