Introducing the Devplan CLI

May 19, 2025

The Devplan CLI is your new command-line companion for bringing structured, AI-assisted product development directly into your workflow.


Whether you’re using Cursor or JetBrains Junie, the Devplan CLI gives you the power to bridge product planning and real code execution, right inside your AI-enabled IDE.


You already know the pain of jumping between docs, tickets, Slack threads, and your editor. The CLI eliminates that mess. Go from rough idea to production-ready feature in record time, with confidence that what you’re building is scoped, aligned, and complete.



What Is It?


The Devplan CLI is a command-line interface built in Go that connects to Devplan’s backend via secure, protobuf-based APIs. It pulls custom rules files along with detailed project requirements, test cases, architectural guidance and edge cases built specifically for coding agent and delivers the output directly into your IDE.


With the CLI, you can:

  • Fetch scoped work directly from your Devplan projects

  • Inject coding agent-ready instructions into your IDE of choice

  • Keep features and requirements in sync from product definition to engineering development


In short, it’s the orchestration layer between product thinking and code execution.



How Do You Use It?


Here’s how to use it:

  • Authenticate once, stay logged in securely

  • Select your IDE, company, project, and feature interactively

  • Sync with your Git repo and bring in context-aware tasks

  • Focus on a feature, and Devplan guides you with scoped instructions

  • Pull clean, AI-generated plans directly into your local dev workflow
