Teams running multi-stage projects (product development, research, consulting) where conversation continuity and plan evolution matter more than linear task lists.

Things to check

  • Skill-only installs (npx skills add) do not ship the /plan-goal and /plan-loop command wrappers — those come with the /plugin install route; a manual fallback is documented in SKILL.md. Windows support has had recurring gaps (session-catchup was non-functional on Windows until v3.2.0).
