## `agents plan use`

Create a plan from an action template and one or more projects.

### Synopsis

```bash
agents plan use <ACTION_NAME> [PROJECTS...] [OPTIONS]
```

### Options

| Flag                    | Description                                           |
|-------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------|
| `--project`, `-p`      | Project name (repeatable for multiple projects)       |
| `--arg`, `-a`          | Argument value in `name=value` format (repeatable)    |
| `--automation-profile`  | Automation profile name (e.g., `trusted`, `manual`)   |
| `--invariant`          | Invariant constraint text (repeatable)                |
| `--strategy-actor`     | Override strategy actor (`namespace/name` format)     |
| `--execution-actor`    | Override execution actor (`namespace/name` format)    |
| `--estimation-actor`   | Override estimation actor (`namespace/name` format)   |
| `--invariant-actor`    | Override invariant reconciliation actor               |
| `--format`, `-f`       | Output format: json, yaml, plain, table, rich         |

### Actor Override Validation

All actor override flags require **namespaced format**: `namespace/name`
(e.g., `openai/gpt-4`, `anthropic/claude-3`). Invalid formats are
rejected with a descriptive error.

### Examples

```bash
# Basic usage with one project
agents plan use local/code-coverage my-project --arg target_coverage=80

# Multiple projects
agents plan use local/lint proj-1 proj-2

# With automation profile and invariants
agents plan use local/refactor my-project \
  --automation-profile trusted \
  --invariant "No new warnings" \
  --invariant "Maintain backward compatibility"

# With actor overrides
agents plan use local/code-coverage my-project \
  --strategy-actor openai/gpt-4 \
  --execution-actor anthropic/claude-3 \
  --estimation-actor openai/gpt-4

# JSON output
agents plan use local/lint my-project --format json
```

## `agents plan status`

Show status of one or all v3 lifecycle plans.

### Synopsis

```bash
agents plan status [PLAN_ID] [--format FORMAT]
```

When called without a plan ID, displays a summary table of all active
plans including automation profile and invariant count columns.

### Output Fields

- **ID**: Truncated plan ULID
- **Name**: Namespaced plan name
- **Phase**: Current lifecycle phase
- **State**: Processing state
- **Profile**: Automation profile name (if set)
- **Invariants**: Count of attached invariants
- **Terminal**: Whether the plan is in a terminal state

## `agents plan lifecycle-list`

List v3 lifecycle plans with optional filtering.

### Synopsis

```bash
agents plan lifecycle-list [REGEX] [OPTIONS]
```

### Options

| Flag                    | Description                                      |
|-------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
| `--phase`              | Filter by phase (strategize, execute, apply)      |
| `--state`              | Filter by processing state                        |
| `--processing-state`   | Alias for `--state`                               |
| `--project`, `-p`     | Filter by project name                            |
| `--action`             | Filter by action name                             |
