planning-with-files
55 / 100 · Review before installing
Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a research skill usually looks things up on the internet.
By Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar (GitHub) · research · 6,038 stars · scanned at commit d394fb5
Use this by default for non-trivial multi-step work that needs persistent planning, progress tracking, or durable notes on disk. Trigger when a task will likely span multiple tool calls, research steps, verification loops, or enough context that the plan should not live only in transient chat memory.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'planning-with-files' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'planning-with-files' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named planning-with-files already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd394fb599ed9e6ea2212a9e6daa864345fe97a26' -- 'skills/planning-with-files' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/planning-with-files' ~/.agents/skills/'planning-with-files' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'planning-with-files' ~/.claude/skills/'planning-with-files' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
