Plane CLI

CLI for Plane.so project management. Output is JSON by default — pipe to jq or consume directly.

Setup

uv tool install plane-cli   # or: pip install plane-cli
plane config init            # interactive setup wizard

Config: ~/.config/plane-cli/config.toml. All values can be set via env vars (PLANE_API_KEY, PLANE_WORKSPACE_SLUG, PLANE_BASE_URL, PLANE_PROJECT) or CLI flags.

Command Discovery

Do not guess command names or options. Use --help:

plane --help
plane issues --help
plane issues create --help

Quick Reference

Common Workflows

Create an issue:

plane issues create --title "Fix login bug" --priority high --state <state-id>

List issues with filters:

plane issues list --state <state-id> --assignee <user-id> --all

Update issue state (move to "In Progress"):

# First, find the state ID
plane states list --project <pid>
# Then update
plane issues update <issue-id> --state <state-id>

Add a comment (supports stdin with -):

plane issues comment add <issue-id> --body "Deployed to staging"
git diff HEAD~1 | plane issues comment add <issue-id> --body -

Important Conventions

• --project is optional when defaults.project is configured
• Destructive commands (delete) require --yes in non-TTY (agent) contexts
• --description and --body accept - to read from stdin
• --all fetches all pages (capped at 1000); default is first 20 results
• --pretty renders Rich tables — avoid in scripts, parse JSON instead
• Errors go to stderr as JSON: {"error": {"type": "...", "message": "...", "status_code": N}}
• Exit codes: 0 success, 1 error, 2 rate-limited (retry safe)

[!CAUTION] delete commands are destructive — always confirm with the user before executing.
