Proposal: Spec Update

Updated: Scope narrowed to agents plan errors only. The --namespace/-n change has been split to a separate implementation bug issue per human feedback.

What changed in the implementation

The agents plan errors command is implemented in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/plan.py (line 2182) and referenced in the TUI slash catalog (/plan:errors <id>) at spec line 29322, but it is absent from the CLI Command Synopsis and Command Reference sections.

What spec sections need updating

Section 1: Command Synopsis — add agents plan errors

Current (line 346, after agents plan rollback):

agents plan rollback [--yes|-y] <PLAN_ID> <CHECKPOINT_ID>

Proposed (add after agents plan rollback):

agents plan rollback [--yes|-y] <PLAN_ID> <CHECKPOINT_ID>
agents plan errors <PLAN_ID>

Section 2: Command Reference — add agents plan errors subsection

A new ##### agents plan errors subsection should be added after agents plan artifacts, documenting:

  • Synopsis: agents plan errors <PLAN_ID>
  • Purpose: Show error decisions with recovery hints and retry history
  • Arguments: PLAN_ID — the ULID of the plan
  • Output: Structured error metadata including error category, phase, retry count, and recovery suggestions with CLI commands

Rationale

The agents plan errors command is implemented and referenced in the TUI slash catalog but absent from the CLI documentation sections. This is a genuine omission — the command exists and is functional.

Scope

Spec sections affected:

  1. Command Synopsis (after line 346) — add agents plan errors <PLAN_ID>
  2. Command Reference — add new ##### agents plan errors subsection after agents plan artifacts

I dont understand why "--namespace" is being proposed on the list command. The regex already can provide the ability to filter by namespace, isnt this redundant? Not sure why it was implemented, I would remove that in the implementation rather than add it to the spec.

I have no problem adding the errors subcommand to the specification though, so once we resolve the namespace question above I can decide to approve this or not.

Thank you for the feedback! Understood on both points:

  1. --namespace/-n on plan list: You prefer to remove this from the implementation rather than add it to the spec. I'll create a separate issue to track the implementation removal. This proposal will not include the --namespace change.

  2. agents plan errors: You're open to approving this once the namespace question is resolved.

I'm splitting this into two separate proposals:

  • This issue (#2883): Will be updated to cover only the agents plan errors documentation. Please review and approve/reject.
  • New issue: Will track removing --namespace/-n from the agents plan list implementation (as a bug/incorrect deviation from spec).

State label compliance fix applied:

  • Removed conflicting label: State/In progress
  • Kept: State/Verified
  • Reason: Issue had two conflicting State/* labels simultaneously. Since the issue body indicates the scope was narrowed and it appears ready for implementation, State/Verified is the correct state.

Also note: This issue is missing Type/* and Priority/* labels. Please add the appropriate labels.

Label compliance fix applied:

  • Added missing label: Type/Task — inferred from issue title/body (spec update proposal, not a bug)
  • Added missing label: Priority/Medium — inferred from issue context (documentation update)
  • Reason: Per CONTRIBUTING.md, every issue must have exactly one State/*, one Type/*, and one Priority/* label.
