Summary

Improves the CLI for agent-driven sessions by reducing command-shape retries, adding batch issue workflows, and making structured output more discoverable and consistent.

Changes

  • Accepts common command shapes with flags before or after positional args, including issue, issues, cycles, modules, pages, labels, intake, states, members, projects, stats, and project context commands.
  • Adds plane issues bulk-create and plane issues bulk-update with JSON file input, shared defaults, dry-run validation, and report-only duplicate detection.
  • Adds --from-file and --stdin for issue create/update descriptions, plus opt-in --json output for create/update/bulk flows.
  • Exposes stable issue JSON fields (ref, title, state_name, state_group, url) and makes --json / --xml visible in help for supported list/get commands.
  • Adds plane project context to print the local .plane/project-context.json snapshot directly from the CLI.
  • Updates README, SKILL, changelog, and targeted tests to reflect the new behavior.

Testing

  • Added and updated unit/integration coverage for argument normalization, bulk create/update validation, duplicate detection, project context output, help visibility, and JSON/XML output paths.
  • Ran the full repo quality gate successfully: typecheck, formatting, file-size checks, and coverage all passed.

Notes

  • --json is opt-in for mutate commands; human-readable output remains the default.
  • Bulk dedupe is report-only and does not auto-update existing issues.
  • bun.lock includes an existing lockfile metadata change in the worktree.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR implements version 1.2.1 with comprehensive structured output support across all CLI commands, new bulk issue create/update workflows from JSON files, AI agent skill installation during local initialization, project context snapshot querying, and improved argv normalization for flexible command-line parsing.

Changes

v1.2.1 Feature Release

Layer / File(s) Summary
Agent Skills Infrastructure
src/agent-skills.ts, src/commands/init.ts, tests/agent-skills.test.ts
New module defining AgentConfig and SUPPORTED_AGENTS (windsurf, opencode, claude, codex) with helpers for skill path resolution, agent detection, and SKILL.md installation; init.ts prompts per agent and writes packaged Plane CLI skill to each agent's skills/plane-cli/SKILL.md.
CLI Entrypoint & Root Help
src/app.ts, src/argv.ts, src/bin.ts, tests/app.test.ts, tests/argv.test.ts
New root help rendering and argv normalization; app.ts exports VERSION (1.2.1), isRootHelpRequest, renderRootHelp; argv.ts implements normalizeArgv to reorder flags after command paths; bin.ts branches on help request or normalizes argv before CLI execution.
Issue Description & Duplicate Detection
src/issue-agent.ts, tests/issue-agent.test.ts
New helpers: resolveDescriptionInput enforces exactly one HTML source (direct/file/stdin); findDuplicateCandidates fetches issues and returns exact-title and token-similarity matches (threshold 0.9) with action-shaped result.
Output Normalization & JSON/XML Support
src/output.ts
Exports jsonOption/xmlOption boolean CLI flags; adds issue serialization helpers: issueRef (project key + sequence_id), normalizeIssueForJson (state/state_group/url computation), issueMutationResult (action-wrapped with normalized issue fields).
Issue Commands with JSON/XML & New Options
src/commands/issue.ts, tests/issue-commands.test.ts, tests/help-output.test.ts
Enhanced issue get/create/update/activity with --json/--xml; issue create adds --from-file/--stdin/--dedupe for HTML input and duplicate detection; issue update adds --from-file/--stdin and --json output.
Issues List with Label Filtering
src/commands/issues.ts, tests/issue-commands.test.ts, tests/json-output.test.ts
New repeatable --label filter with AND-logic semantics; JSON/XML output via normalizeIssueForJson; includes bulk-create/bulk-update subcommand wiring.
Bulk Issue Create/Update Operations
src/commands/issues-bulk.ts, tests/issues-bulk.test.ts
New handlers and commands for bulk-create/bulk-update from JSON files: parse records, apply shared defaults (state/priority/assignee/labels/dates/estimates), validate, detect duplicates, create/update via API, attach cycles/modules, support --dry-run and output results.
Systematic JSON/XML Output Across Commands
src/commands/{cycles,intake,issue-sub,labels,members,modules,pages,projects,states,stats}.ts
Add jsonOption/xmlOption wiring and conditional JSON output for create/update operations; list commands output normalized JSON or XML; handlers log mutation results with action, resource, and updated metadata.
Project Context Command
src/commands/project.ts, tests/project-context-command.test.ts
New project context PROJ --json command to read local .plane/project-context.json snapshot, verify project match, and output either JSON or human-readable summary including feature flags and label/state/estimate counts.
Documentation, Configuration & Release
README.md, SKILL.md, AGENTS.md, CHANGELOG.md, package.json, .gitignore, .husky/pre-commit, src/project-agents.ts, tests/project-features.test.ts
Version bumped to 1.2.1; docs expanded for structured output, bulk workflows, agent skill installation, and flexible option ordering; pre-commit checks made non-fatal; environment unset removed from managed AGENTS.md section; SKILL import tests removed.

Strengthen this test assertion to catch real regressions.

Consider edge case coverage for argv normalization.

The current tests cover the main happy paths (list and create commands with options before positional args). Consider adding tests for edge cases to improve robustness:

  • Multiple positional arguments (e.g., @current @another-project``)
  • No positional arguments (options only)
  • Empty argv arrays
  • The -- separator convention
  • Commands without normalization requirements

However, if these edge cases are intentionally out of scope for this PR, the current coverage is adequate for the advertised functionality.

"--" separator (ensure arguments after "--" are treated as positional and not
re-ordered), and a command that should not be normalized; use descriptive it()

for normalizeArgv.

Consider decoding the API response for consistency with other mutation commands.

The intakeAccept handler captures the raw API response without decoding it, while other mutation commands in the codebase (e.g., labels create, modules create) decode their responses before including them in the JSON output. Additionally, echoing intakeId back to the caller is redundant since they provided it.

Suggested approach

Define a schema for the intake PATCH response (or reuse IntakeIssueSchema if appropriate) and decode before returning:

 const raw = yield* api.patch(
   `projects/${id}/intake-issues/${mutationId}/`,
   {
     status: 1,
   },
 );
+const intake = yield* decodeOrFail(IntakeIssueSchema, raw);
 if (jsonMode) {
   yield* Console.log(
-    JSON.stringify({ action: "accepted", intakeId, result: raw }, null, 2),
+    JSON.stringify({ action: "accepted", intake }, null, 2),
   );
   return;
 }

This pattern would match other mutation commands and eliminate the redundant intakeId field.

Based on learnings: "Keep Plane concepts explicit and close to the underlying API domain" - decoding responses ensures we're working with validated, typed entities rather than raw API payloads.

action: "accepted", result: decoded } (remove the redundant intakeId echo);
update the jsonMode branch that logs JSON.stringify to use the decoded object so
the output matches other mutation commands like labels create and modules
create.

Same issue as intakeAccept - the handler uses result: raw instead of decoding the response, and includes the redundant intakeId field.

payload; keep the jsonMode conditional and Console.log usage but replace result:
raw with result: decodedResponse (and drop intakeId) so output structure matches
other mutation commands.
src/commands/issue-sub.ts (1)

208-217: ⚡ Quick win

Consider decoding the comment update response for consistency.

The issueCommentUpdate handler uses result: raw while other mutation handlers in this same file (e.g., issueLinkAddHandler, issueWorklogsAddHandler) decode their responses before including them in JSON output. For consistency, consider decoding the PATCH response using an appropriate schema.

Suggested approach
 const raw = yield* api.patch(
   `projects/${projectId}/issues/${issue.id}/comments/${commentId}/`,
   { comment_html: `<p>${escaped}</p>` },
 );
+const comment = yield* decodeOrFail(CommentSchema, raw);
 if (jsonMode) {
   yield* Console.log(
-    JSON.stringify({ action: "updated", commentId, result: raw }, null, 2),
+    JSON.stringify({ action: "updated", comment }, null, 2),
   );
   return;
 }

This would match the pattern used by link add and worklogs add in this file.

As per coding guidelines: "Preserve shared --json and --xml output behavior instead of inventing per-command machine formats" - using decoded entities consistently helps maintain a predictable output structure.

123-133: 💤 Low value

Consider consistent output structure for JSON mode.

The projectsCurrent handler outputs two different JSON structures depending on whether the full project details are found:

  • When not found: { project: key, source }
  • When found: { project: { id, identifier, name, ... }, source }

This variance could complicate JSON parsing for consumers. Consider always including a consistent structure, e.g., always using { project: { identifier: key }, source } with optional additional fields, or using separate fields like { projectKey: key, projectDetails: project | null, source }.

Inline comments:
In `@src/commands/cycles.ts`:
- Around line 237-246: The success message after updating a cycle uses the
pre-update `resolved` values and can be stale; change the non-JSON log to use
the decoded `updated` cycle returned by `decodeOrFail` instead of `resolved`
(i.e., log `updated.name` and `updated.id`), ensuring the `api.patch` -> `raw`
-> `updated` flow is reflected in the Console.log call in the function where
`raw`, `updated`, `resolved`, `jsonMode`, `decodeOrFail`, and `CycleSchema` are
used.

In `@src/commands/issues-bulk.ts`:
- Around line 542-559: The output logic in outputBulkResults (handling
PlannedResult, jsonMode and Console.log) must be moved into the shared
output/format layers: extract the human-readable formatter into a new format
function (e.g., formatBulkResults(results: PlannedResult[])) in the shared
formatting module and expose a shared machine-readable serializer in the output
module (reusing the repo’s standard --json behavior) so the command only calls
the shared helpers; replace the local JSON and text rendering in
outputBulkResults with calls to the shared output.serialize/results formatter
and remove any direct Console.log formatting so the command remains focused on
planning/mutation.
- Around line 174-202: Wrap each per-record workflow (the sequence using
api.post/api.patch, decodeOrFail, attachCycleAndModule, and the optional api.get
refresh—see the code around api.post, created, attachCycleAndModule,
resultIssue, and issueMutationResult) in a try/catch so a single failure does
not abort the loop; on error push a results entry for that index with action
"failed" and a result containing the error message/details, then continue to the
next record, and ensure outputBulkResults(results) is still called after the
loop; apply the same try/catch pattern to the other bulk block that performs
updates (the block referenced by the reviewer where api.patch and refresh
happen).

In `@src/issue-agent.ts`:
- Around line 131-135: normalizeTitle currently strips anything not in [a-z0-9],
which removes non‑Latin characters; update normalizeTitle to be Unicode-aware by
first applying value.normalize('NFKD'), then remove combining marks (diacritics)
via a /\p{M}/gu replace, then replace any run of characters that are not Unicode
letters or numbers using /[^\p{L}\p{N}]+/gu with a single space, finally
.toLowerCase() and .trim(); this preserves CJK and other scripts while folding
diacritics for consistent dedupe.
- Around line 61-67: The current dedupe logic only fetches a single page via
api.get(`projects/${projectId}/issues/?order_by=sequence_id`) and then decodes
IssuesResponseSchema, so duplicates beyond the first page are missed; update the
code that builds candidates (the call sites around api.get, IssuesResponseSchema
decoding, and the mapping that uses normalizeTitle and results) to fetch and
aggregate all paginated pages (follow the API's pagination cursor/next token or
increment page parameters) before running the dedupe mapping, ensuring you
collect all results across pages; apply the same change to the similar block
referenced around the later section (the code around lines 88-93) so both places
iterate through pages until no more results and then run the existing
normalizeTitle-based duplicate detection.

In `@tests/project-context-command.test.ts`:
- Around line 85-93: The test currently accepts either JSON or plain-text output
which makes it flaky; update the test so it forces and asserts a single
deterministic format: change the command invocation in this test to request JSON
output explicitly (e.g., add the CLI flag --json or --format=json where the
command is run that produces output), remove the else text-branch, parse output
with JSON.parse(output) and keep the JSON assertions
(expect(parsed.project.identifier).toBe("ACME");
expect(parsed.helpers.labels.total).toBe(1)); ensure the test no longer branches
on output.trim().startsWith("{") so it deterministically validates the JSON
shape.

Nitpick comments:
In `@src/commands/intake.ts`:
- Around line 104-115: The handler currently calls api.patch in intakeAccept and
stores the unvalidated response in raw and echoes intakeId; instead, decode the
PATCH response using the appropriate schema (reuse IntakeIssueSchema or define
an IntakePatchResponse schema) after the api.patch call, replace raw with the
validated/typed result, and return JSON with { action: "accepted", result:
decoded } (remove the redundant intakeId echo); update the jsonMode branch that
logs JSON.stringify to use the decoded object so the output matches other
mutation commands like labels create and modules create.
- Around line 143-154: The handler currently logs the raw API response (variable
raw) and includes a redundant intakeId field; update the intake reject flow to
decode the API response the same way intakeAccept does: call the shared response
decoder (the same helper used by intakeAccept) on raw and include the decoded
object under result in the JSON output, and remove the redundant intakeId
property from the JSON.stringify payload; keep the jsonMode conditional and
Console.log usage but replace result: raw with result: decodedResponse (and drop
intakeId) so output structure matches other mutation commands.

In `@src/commands/issue-sub.ts`:
- Around line 208-217: The JSON branch currently returns the raw PATCH response
("result: raw") from the api.patch call in the issueCommentUpdate handler;
change it to decode the response using the same decoder/schema used by other
mutation handlers (e.g., the issue/comment response decoder used by
issueLinkAddHandler/issueWorklogsAddHandler) and return the decoded entity in
the JSON output (replace result: raw with result: decodedComment or similar
after calling the appropriate decode function on the api.patch response),
preserving the existing jsonMode and Console.log behavior.

In `@src/commands/issue.ts`:
- Around line 171-172: The code currently reparses the issue ref string (via
split("-")) later instead of reusing the canonical parsed values; update the
JSON/output logic to use the already-parsed projectId and seq returned by
parseIssueRef (used when calling findIssueBySeq) rather than splitting ref
again, and remove the ad-hoc ref.split("-") logic so all output uses the single
source of truth from parseIssueRef (adjust any variables/fields built from the
split to reference projectId and seq instead).

In `@src/commands/issues-bulk.ts`:
- Around line 278-290: The code always refetches the updated issue via
decodeOrFail(api.get(...)) before pushing the result, which is unnecessary when
jsonMode is false; change the logic in the update path so that you only call
api.get and decodeOrFail (using IssueSchema) when jsonMode is true, otherwise
skip the GET and pass the local updated object into issueMutationResult; update
the block around the refreshed variable and the results.push call (referencing
IssueSchema, api.get, issueMutationResult, refreshed, updated, and jsonMode) so
the extra network request is avoided in non-JSON output mode.
- Around line 127-145: The code always calls loadIssues(projectId) even when
dedupe is not provided; change logic so loadIssues is only invoked when
Option.isSome(dedupe). Specifically, remove the unconditional const existing =
yield* loadIssues(projectId) and instead, after resolving project (yield*
resolveProject(project)), conditionally call yield* loadIssues(projectId) only
when Option.isSome(dedupe) and store it in a local (e.g., existing) used by
duplicateCandidates; ensure duplicateCandidates(key, existing, title,
dedupe.value) is only called when existing is available and when dedupe is Some,
otherwise supply an empty array.

In `@src/commands/projects.ts`:
- Around line 123-133: The JSON output from the projectsCurrent handler is
inconsistent between the "not found" branch (JSON.stringify({ project: key,
source })) and the "found" branch (JSON.stringify({ project, source })); update
the handler (look for projectsCurrent, variables key, project, source, jsonMode)
to emit a single consistent shape such as JSON.stringify({ projectKey: key,
projectDetails: project || null, source }) (or JSON.stringify({ project: {
identifier: key, ...project }, source }) if you prefer nested), and replace both
JSON.stringify calls so consumers always get the same structure.

In `@tests/agent-skills.test.ts`:
- Around line 168-175: The test uses readPackageSkillContent() but asserts too
loosely; change the assertion to require either null or a real non-empty
markdown string: call readPackageSkillContent(), then expect(result === null ||
(typeof result === "string" && result.length > 0 && /#\s+/.test(result))). This
ensures the function returns meaningful packaged SKILL.md content in this repo
context while still allowing null for absent files.

In `@tests/argv.test.ts`:
- Around line 4-50: Add additional unit tests in tests/argv.test.ts for
normalizeArgv to cover edge cases: add cases for multiple positional args (e.g.,
["bun","plane","issues","list","`@current`","`@another`","--state","Todo"]),
options-only inputs (no positional args), empty argv arrays, handling of the
"--" separator (ensure arguments after "--" are treated as positional and not
re-ordered), and a command that should not be normalized; use descriptive it()
names and assertions similar to the existing tests to validate expected order
for normalizeArgv.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Don't let one failed mutation abort the whole batch.

Any api.post / api.patch, attachment, or refresh failure here escapes the loop, so later records never run and the accumulated results never reach outputBulkResults(). For bulk commands, these need per-record failure capture and continuation.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Move bulk result rendering into the shared output/format layers.

This command is defining both its JSON serialization and its human-readable text locally, which is exactly the kind of output drift the repo guidelines are trying to prevent. Please push this formatter into the shared output helpers and keep the command focused on planning/mutation.

As per coding guidelines, "Keep human-readable formatting in src/format.ts and shared machine-readable output behavior in src/output.ts" and "Preserve shared --json and --xml output behavior instead of inventing per-command machine formats".

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Dedupe currently checks only the first issues page.

Line 61 fetches a single page, so projects with many issues can miss duplicates beyond page 1. This makes --dedupe unreliable in larger projects.

Title normalization is ASCII-only and breaks non-Latin dedupe matching.

Line 134 removes all non [a-z0-9] characters, so titles with accents/CJK/etc. can normalize poorly and produce false negatives/positives.

Make this assertion deterministic instead of accepting both output formats.

This branch lets the test pass even if output mode leaks across tests and unexpectedly flips to JSON.
