Please allow me to ask a potentially silly question.
After using the "planning-with-files" skill to complete a complex task, should the generated Markdown file be deleted or archived to a specific folder before starting the next task?
Should these files be committed to Git? What constitutes "good" practice in this regard?

hello @juzi5201314 thank you so much for the question. following the best pracitses based on me who studied CS before generative AI i would strongly advise you to NEVER git track them, store them for reading yes, or for some form of renewable caching for future tasks, which is what i do to follow a successful working schema if i ever need to do so. fo example, after 2 weeks i see that a bug has occured in a system that i built with this skill, i create a new session but i dont use the skill just to fix that bug rather the research and planning docuemtn from that feature. this is a super valid point a really good pracitse i suggest you to follow.

the thing is that those tokens you paid and used to the research can somehow be reused. i have a huge folder with few thousands markdwosn that i reuse sometimes... but sadely yes they will be removed one day.

BUT! this is only for personal use. i image in some industries praticses they could be kept, documetned, even git tracked locally. but for personal use, either reuse when needing to expand or debug a feature you built before or delete.

i hope i was able to answer your question.
