Control-Plane Commands	Issue, agent, approval, and dashboard commands

Client-side commands for managing issues, agents, approvals, and more.

Issue Commands

# List issues

# Get issue details
pnpm paperclipai issue get <issue-id-or-identifier>

# Create issue
pnpm paperclipai issue create --title "..." [--description "..."] [--status todo] [--priority high]

# Update issue
pnpm paperclipai issue update <issue-id> [--status in_progress] [--comment "..."]

# Release task

Company Commands

pnpm paperclipai company list
pnpm paperclipai company get <company-id>
pnpm paperclipai company current [--company-id <company-id>]

# Export to portable folder package (writes manifest + markdown files)
pnpm paperclipai company export <company-id> --out ./exports/acme --include company,agents

# Preview import (no writes)
pnpm paperclipai company import \
  <owner>/<repo>/<path> \
  --target existing \
  --company-id <company-id> \
  --ref main \
  --collision rename \
  --dry-run

# Apply import
pnpm paperclipai company import \
  ./exports/acme \
  --target new \
  --new-company-name "Acme Imported" \
  --include company,agents

With agent authentication, use company list or company current to resolve the scoped company. company list first tries the board-wide list; if that is forbidden, it falls back to --company-id, PAPERCLIP_COMPANY_ID, context, or /api/agents/me and returns only that scoped company. company create requires board/instance-admin authentication because it is an instance-wide setup command.

Agent Commands

pnpm paperclipai agent list
pnpm paperclipai agent get <agent-id>

Skills Commands

pnpm paperclipai skills inspect github-pr-workflow

# Install a catalog skill into the company skill library
# This does not attach the skill to any agent.
pnpm paperclipai skills install github-pr-workflow --company-id <company-id>
pnpm paperclipai skills install github-pr-workflow --as pr-flow --force --company-id <company-id>

# External sources still use import instead of catalog install
pnpm paperclipai skills import ./skills/my-skill --company-id <company-id>
pnpm paperclipai skills import owner/repo/path/to/skill --company-id <company-id>
