Multi Manus Planning

If no .planning/ found:

• Use current directory as {project_path} (backward compatible)
• Planning files go directly in CWD

Session ID:

Claude Code exposes $CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID (a UUID) in all execution contexts. Use this for session-local override files. TTY detection doesn't work because Claude Code's Bash tool runs without a TTY attached.

Planning File Locations

All planning files use {project_path}:

• {project_path}/task_plan.md
• {project_path}/findings.md
• {project_path}/progress.md

Project Commands

Recognize these natural language patterns:

Adding a Project

When user says "add project [name]":

First, check if project already exists in the Projects table:

• If exists: "Project '[name]' already exists. Would you like to update it, use a different name, or switch to it?"
• If not exists: continue with creation flow

1. Ask for planning location using AskUserQuestion:

   • Option 1: "Default location ({default_path}/[name]/)" [Recommended]
   • Option 2: "Somewhere else (I'll specify)"

2. If "somewhere else", ask for the custom planning path

3. Ask for source/working folder:

   • "What's the source/working folder for this project?"
   • This is where the actual code lives

4. Create the project:

   • Create the planning directory if it doesn't exist
   • Create task_plan.md with Source header (see template)
   • Create findings.md
   • Create progress.md
   • Add row to Projects table in index.md
   • Set as active project

5. Report:

   Created project "[name]":
   - Planning: [resolved planning path]
   - Source: [source path]
   - Files: task_plan.md, findings.md, progress.md
   

Switching Projects (Session-Local)

When user requests a project switch with "switch to [name]":

1. Read .planning/index.md
2. Verify the requested project exists in the Projects table
3. Get session ID from $CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID environment variable
4. Write the project name to .planning/.active.override.$CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID
   • This is session-local - does NOT modify index.md
   • Other Claude Code sessions are unaffected
5. Read the new project's task_plan.md if it exists
6. Report: "Switched to [name] (this session). Current task: [summary from task_plan.md or 'No active task']"

If the requested project doesn't exist, offer to create it.

Setting Workspace Default

When user says "set default [name]":

1. Verify the requested project exists in the Projects table
2. Update the active: field in .planning/index.md
3. Report: "Set [name] as workspace default. New sessions will start with this project."

This changes the default project for all new sessions in this workspace.

Intent Mismatch Detection

If the user mentions working on a project different from the active one:

• Example: Active is "bracket" but user says "let's work on the college advisor"
• Prompt: "You mentioned college-advisor but we're in bracket context. Switch projects?"
