Plane Skill

Interact with Plane.so project management via the plane CLI.

Installation

Download the single executable file:

curl -L -o ~/.local/bin/plane https://github.com/HonLuk/my-plane/releases/latest/download/plane
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/plane

Make sure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH.

Setup

export PLANE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
export PLANE_WORKSPACE="your-workspace-slug"
# Optional: for self-hosted Plane (default: https://api.plane.so)
export PLANE_BASE_URL="https://api.plane.so"

Get your API key from: Plane → Profile Settings → Personal Access Tokens

The workspace slug is the URL path segment (e.g., for https://app.plane.so/my-team/ the slug is my-team).
