Plan CLI Reference

The agents plan command group manages plans in the CleverAgents v3 plan lifecycle.

Commands

Command Description
agents plan use Create plan from action + project(s)
agents plan list List plans with optional filters
agents plan status Show plan status / details
agents plan execute Run Strategize + Execute (auto-apply if profile permits)
agents plan apply Transition to Apply and complete it
agents plan cancel Cancel a non-terminal plan
agents plan diff Show ChangeSet as unified diff
agents plan artifacts Show ChangeSet ID, sandbox refs, summary
agents plan explain Explain a single decision
agents plan tree Display decision tree for a plan

agents plan use

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

Synopsis

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

# 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

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 list

List v3 lifecycle plans with optional filtering.

Synopsis

agents plan 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
--format, -f Output format

Rich Output

The rich format renders a Plans table with columns:

Column Description
ID Truncated plan ULID (8 chars)
Phase Current lifecycle phase
State Processing state
Action Action name
Project First linked project name (or (none))
Elapsed Wall-clock time since plan creation (HH:MM:SS)

After the table:

  • Filters panel — shown only when at least one filter (--phase, --state, --project, --action) is active. Lists the active filter values.
  • Summary panel — total plans, processing count, completed count, and errored count.

Followed by a ✓ OK N plan(s) listed success message.

agents plan execute

Run the current plan phase synchronously. Detects the plan's current phase and processes it inline:

  • Strategize/queued — runs the strategize phase to completion, then auto-progresses to Execute if the automation profile permits.
  • Strategize/complete — transitions to Execute and runs it.
  • Execute/queued — runs the execute phase to completion.

When the automation profile's auto_apply threshold is met (< 1.0), the execute command also drives the plan through the Apply phase to the terminal applied state. This means plan execute with a ci or full-auto profile completes the full lifecycle in a single invocation: Strategize → Execute → Apply.

When no plan ID is given, auto-selects the single eligible plan.

agents plan execute [PLAN_ID] [--format FORMAT]

Internal Wiring

The CLI handler shares a single PlanLifecycleService instance between the command logic and the PlanExecutor to avoid stale in-memory cache reads after phase transitions. See CLI Executor Wiring for details.

agents plan apply

Transition a plan to Apply phase and complete it. Because Apply is a destructive operation (it merges sandbox changesets into real project resources), a confirmation prompt is displayed by default. Pass --yes / -y to skip the prompt in scripts or CI pipelines.

When the plan is in Execute/complete, transitions to Apply. When the plan is in Apply/queued (e.g. auto-progressed by plan execute), completes the apply processing, driving the plan to the terminal applied state. Apply is a metadata transition (no LLM call).

Synopsis

agents plan apply [--yes|-y] [PLAN_ID] [--format FORMAT]

Options

Flag Description
--yes, -y Skip the confirmation prompt and apply immediately
--format, -f Output format: json, yaml, plain, table, rich

Arguments

Argument Description
PLAN_ID Plan ID to apply (optional; auto-selects if only one eligible)

agents plan cancel

Cancel a non-terminal plan.

agents plan cancel PLAN_ID [--reason REASON] [--format FORMAT]

agents plan diff

Show ChangeSet as unified diff for a plan.

agents plan diff PLAN_ID [--correction ID] [--format FORMAT]

agents plan artifacts

Show plan artifacts including ChangeSet ID and sandbox references.

agents plan artifacts PLAN_ID [--format FORMAT]

agents plan explain

Explain a single decision in the plan decision tree.

Synopsis

agents plan explain <DECISION_ID> [OPTIONS]

Options

Flag Description
--format, -f Output format: json, yaml, plain, table, rich
--show-context Include context snapshot details
--show-reasoning Include rationale and actor reasoning

Alternatives considered are always included in the output.

Examples

# Default rich output
agents plan explain 01HXYZ1234567890ABCDEFGH

# JSON with full context
agents plan explain 01HXYZ1234567890ABCDEFGH --format json --show-context

# Show reasoning
agents plan explain 01HXYZ1234567890ABCDEFGH --show-reasoning

# YAML output with all details
agents plan explain 01HXYZ1234567890ABCDEFGH --format yaml \
  --show-context --show-reasoning

agents plan tree

Display the decision tree for a plan.

Synopsis

agents plan tree <PLAN_ID> [OPTIONS]

Options

Flag Description
--format, -f Output format: json, yaml, plain, table, rich
--show-superseded Include superseded decisions in the tree
--depth Maximum tree depth (0 = unlimited, default: 0)
