# planning-with-files
Persistent markdown planning files that survive `/compact` via hook-based re-injection. Creates and maintains `task_plan.md`, `findings.md`, and `progress.md` for cross-session persistence.
**Upstream:** https://github.com/othmanadi/planning-with-files
## Install
> Install commands are from upstream documentation and may change. Check the [upstream repo](https://github.com/othmanadi/planning-with-files) for current instructions.
```bash
npx skills add planning-with-files
```
Or clone the repo and symlink into your project's `.claude/skills/`.
## What It Does
1. Creates structured planning files at project root
2. Hooks into Claude Code lifecycle to re-inject plan context after `/compact`
3. Maintains progress tracking across sessions
## Overlap Warning
This tool **heavily overlaps** with Loam's built-in planning infrastructure:
| planning-with-files | Loam equivalent |
|---|---|
| `task_plan.md` | Plan mode + `docs/plans/` |
| `findings.md` | Memory system + `.claude/rules/` |
| `progress.md` | `/handoff` skill |
| Hook re-injection | Always-loaded rules |
Install only if you prefer file-based planning over Loam's built-in approach. The two systems may conflict if used simultaneously.
## Requirements
- Node.js
- Bash or PowerShell

- MIT license
- Novel piece is hook-based re-injection after `/compact`
- Near-zero independent reviews despite popularity
