What problem does it solve?
plan-bender-cli helps you understand and operate the plan-bender toolchain for turning an idea into dependency-ordered implementation work, and it provides a reliable way to run, inspect, recover, and dispatch that workflow.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Command reference for plan-bender: Answers what
pb and pba do, which subcommands exist, and how to use them for setup, dispatch, status, retries, worktrees, syncing, and docs.
- Dispatch lifecycle control: Explains how
pb dispatch / pba dispatch determines the integration branch, runs per-issue worktrees, enforces subprocess timeouts, performs dependency-ordered merge-back, and exits with clear codes.
- Operational recovery: Supports troubleshooting a stuck dispatch using
pb status and pb retry while preserving audit notes and ensuring safe resumption.
Quick Start
Run pb dispatch <slug> to execute the autonomous implementation loop for your plan and continuously merge completed work back in dependency order.
