Planwise

planwise

**Your AI project manager that never forgets.**

planwise is a plugin for [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) that helps you plan, execute, review, and track your work across sessions. It keeps everything organized in simple markdown files so nothing gets lost between conversations.

The problem

Ever had Claude Code forget what you were working on? Started a new session and had to re-explain everything? Watched tasks pile up with no way to prioritize them?

**planwise fixes that.** It gives your projects a persistent memory — structured plans, scored backlogs, and lessons learned that survive across every session.

Getting started

This guide walks you through everything from zero. No prior experience with plugins or terminals required.

What you'll need

• Claude Code installed and working (get it here if you haven't already)
• Python 3.8+ installed on your computer (planwise uses small Python scripts for backlog scoring)
• A project you want to manage
• Optional: GitHub CLI (gh) — only needed if you want /planwise feedback to file its issue for you. Without it, feedback still works: your report is saved as a draft file and you paste it into the issues page yourself. You don't have to install it up
