--- name: planning description: Create and manage persistent markdown planning files for structured task execution. Use when the user asks to "create a plan", "track progress", "start a research project", or when a task requires more than 5 tool calls and needs structured phase tracking to stay focused and avoid goal drift. --- # AI Maestro Planning Solve the execution problem -- staying focused during complex, multi-step tasks. Uses persistent markdown files to track goals, findings, and progress so you never lose context. Part of the [AI Maestro](https://github.com/23blocks-OS/ai-maestro) suite. ## When to Use - Multi-step tasks (3+ steps) - Research projects - Building features requiring >5 tool calls - Any task where you might lose track of the goal ## The 3-File Pattern Create in `docs_dev/` (or `$AIMAESTRO_PLANNING_DIR`): | File | Purpose | Update When | |------|---------|-------------| | `task_plan.md` | Goals, phases, decisions, errors | After each phase | | `findings.md` | Research, discoveries, resources | During research | | `progress.md` | Session log, test results | Throughout session | ## Quick Start ```bash PLAN_DIR="${AIMAESTRO_PLANNING_DIR:-docs_dev}" mkdir -p "$PLAN_DIR"
