This skill implements a file-based planning system for complex, multi-step tasks by creating persistent markdown files to track goals, findings, and progress. It acts as an external working memory to maintain context and organization throughout long workflows or research projects.

Invoke the planning-with-files:planning-with-files skill and follow it exactly as presented to you.
Create the three planning files in the current project directory if they don't exist:

- findings.md — for research and discoveries
- progress.md — for session logging
Then guide the user through the planning workflow.
