Common commands

pllan channels list
pllan channels status
pllan channels capabilities
pllan channels capabilities --channel discord --target channel:123
pllan channels resolve --channel slack "#general" "@jane"
pllan channels logs --channel all

​
Add / remove accounts

pllan channels add --channel telegram --token <bot-token>
pllan channels add --channel nostr --private-key "$NOSTR_PRIVATE_KEY"
pllan channels remove --channel telegram --delete
Tip: pllan channels add --help shows per-channel flags (token, private key, app token, signal-cli paths, etc). When you run pllan channels add without flags, the interactive wizard can prompt:
  • account ids per selected channel
  • optional display names for those accounts
  • Bind configured channel accounts to agents now?
If you confirm bind now, the wizard asks which agent should own each configured channel account and writes account-scoped routing bindings. You can also manage the same routing rules later with pllan agents bindings, pllan agents bind, and pllan agents unbind (see agents). When you add a non-default account to a channel that is still using single-account top-level settings (no channels.<channel>.accounts entries yet), Pllan moves account-scoped single-account top-level values into channels.<channel>.accounts.default, then writes the new account. This preserves the original account behavior while moving to the multi-account shape. Routing behavior stays consistent:
  • Existing channel-only bindings (no accountId) continue to match the default account.
  • channels add does not auto-create or rewrite bindings in non-interactive mode.
  • Interactive setup can optionally add account-scoped bindings.
If your config was already in a mixed state (named accounts present, missing default, and top-level single-account values still set), run pllan doctor --fix to move account-scoped values into accounts.default.

Login / logout (interactive)

Troubleshooting

  • Run pllan status --deep for a broad probe.
  • Use pllan doctor for guided fixes.
  • pllan channels list prints Claude: HTTP 403 ... user:profile → usage snapshot needs the user:profile scope. Use --no-usage, or provide a claude.ai session key (CLAUDE_WEB_SESSION_KEY / CLAUDE_WEB_COOKIE), or re-auth via Claude Code CLI.
  • pllan channels status falls back to config-only summaries when the gateway is unreachable. If a supported channel credential is configured via SecretRef but unavailable in the current command path, it reports that account as configured with degraded notes instead of showing it as not configured.

​
Capabilities probe

Fetch provider capability hints (intents/scopes where available) plus static feature support: 
pllan channels capabilities
pllan channels capabilities --channel discord --target channel:123
Notes:
  • --channel is optional; omit it to list every channel (including extensions).
  • --target accepts channel:<id> or a raw numeric channel id and only applies to Discord.
  • Probes are provider-specific: Discord intents + optional channel permissions; Slack bot + user scopes; Telegram bot flags + webhook; Signal daemon version; Microsoft Teams app token + Graph roles/scopes (annotated where known). Channels without probes report Probe: unavailable.

​
Resolve names to IDs

Resolve channel/user names to IDs using the provider directory: 
pllan channels resolve --channel slack "#general" "@jane"
pllan channels resolve --channel discord "My Server/#support" "@someone"
pllan channels resolve --channel matrix "Project Room"
Notes:
  • Use --kind user|group|auto to force the target type.
  • Resolution prefers active matches when multiple entries share the same name.
  • channels resolve is read-only. If a selected account is configured via SecretRef but that credential is unavailable in the current command path, the command returns degraded unresolved results with notes instead of aborting the entire run.
