-FOR AI AGENTS / BOTS
-  - Add --json to any list command for JSON output (array of objects)
-  - Add --xml to any list command for XML output
-  - 'plane issue get PROJ-N' always outputs full JSON
-  - Use PLANE_API_TOKEN to avoid 'plane init'
-  - Use PLANE_HOST for self-hosted Plane instances
-  - Use PLANE_WORKSPACE to select the workspace
-  - Use PLANE_PROJECT or 'plane projects use PROJ' to persist a current project
-  - Local config lives in '.plane/config.json' and is resolved from the current directory upward
-  - Project-listing contexts exclude archived projects by default; add '--include-archived' where supported to include them
-  - 'plane init --local' also writes '.plane/project-context.json' with existing states, labels, and estimate points for the selected project
-  - 'plane init --local' also creates or updates 'AGENTS.md' so local AI agents reuse '.plane/project-context.json' for project-specific context
-  - Full Plane REST API reference (180+ endpoints):
-    https://developers.plane.so/api-reference/introduction`,
+Agent notes:
+  Add --json or --xml to list commands.
+  plane issue get PROJ-29 returns full JSON with parent_issue and child_issues summaries.
+  plane init --local writes .plane/project-context.json and updates AGENTS.md.
+
+Use 'plane <command> --help' for detailed syntax and options.

 Claude, Codex

- Add src/agent-skills.ts with agent registry and skill writing functions
- Modify plane init --local to prompt for agent skill installation
- Install skills to .{agent}/skills/plane-cli/SKILL.md following Vercel convention
- Remove SKILL.md import into AGENTS.md (skills stay in agent dirs only)
- Update README.md and CHANGELOG.md documentation

 ### Added
 
+- **Agent Skill Installation.** `plane init --local` now prompts to install the plane-cli skill to supported AI agent directories (Windsurf, OpenCode, Claude, Codex) following the Vercel skills convention. Detected agents (those with existing config directories like `.windsurf/`) default to "Y"; others default to "N". Skills are written to `.{agent}/skills/plane-cli/SKILL.md` so agents can load CLI usage guidance directly.
 - **Label filtering on issues list.** `plane issues list` now supports `--label <name>` (repeatable, AND logic) to filter issues by label name(s).
 
+### Removed
+
+- **SKILL.md import into AGENTS.md** has been removed. Agent usage guidance is now only installed to agent-specific skill directories, keeping AGENTS.md focused on repository context without embedded CLI documentation.
+
 ### Changed
 - `plane --help` and bare `plane` now print a shorter, curated overview instead of the full generated command tree, which removes repeated nested command paths from the top-level help surface and keeps detailed syntax on `plane <command> --help`.

 It also writes `.plane/project-context.json`, a machine-readable helper snapshot of the project's existing states, labels, and estimate points so agents can reuse what already exists instead of inventing duplicates.
 If `AGENTS.md` already exists in that directory, `plane init --local` appends a managed Plane project context section at the bottom without removing the existing content. If it does not exist, the CLI creates it. The managed section points agents at `.plane/project-context.json`, tells them to prefer the repo-local `plane` CLI for Plane work, and includes a small command pattern for clearing inherited `PLANE_*` overrides before using the local config.
 
+`plane init --local` also prompts to install the plane-cli skill to supported AI agent directories (Windsurf, OpenCode, Claude, Codex). If an agent's configuration directory is detected (e.g., `.windsurf/`), the prompt defaults to "Y". The skill is written to `.{agent}/skills/plane-cli/SKILL.md` following the Vercel skills convention, keeping agent usage guidance separate from the repository's AGENTS.md.

Subject: [PATCH 13/20] feat: issue create/update enhancements (file/stdin
 input, dedupe, JSON output)

- Add --from-file and --stdin for long HTML descriptions
- Add --dedupe to report possible duplicates before creating
- Emit structured JSON for create/update when --json is passed

+## Unreleased
+
+### Added
+
+- **Agent-efficient issue workflows.** `plane issues bulk-create` and `plane issues bulk-update` support JSON files, shared defaults, dry-run validation, and report-only duplicate detection.
+- **Issue description input sources.** `plane issue create` and `plane issue update` now accept `--from-file` and `--stdin` for long HTML descriptions.
+- **Project context command.** `plane project context` exposes the local `.plane/project-context.json` snapshot directly from the CLI.
+- **Visible structured output flags.** List/get/create/update/bulk command help now exposes supported `--json` and `--xml` flags. Mutation commands support opt-in JSON output.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Argument-order tolerance.** Common command shapes now accept flags before or after positional arguments, reducing retries in agent sessions.
+- **Issue JSON shape.** Issue JSON output now includes stable helper fields: `ref`, `title`, `state_name`, `state_group`, and `url`.

 ## Command Notes
 
-- `plane issue update` expects flags before the issue ref, for example `plane issue update --state completed PROJ-29`.
+- Most commands accept flags before or after positional args, for example `plane issue update PROJ-29 --state completed` and `plane issue update --state completed PROJ-29`.
 - `--description` for issue and page create or update commands is sent through to Plane as HTML in `description_html`.
+- `plane issue create` and `plane issue update` also accept `--from-file` or `--stdin` for long HTML descriptions.
+- `plane issue create --dedupe title` and `plane issues bulk-create --dedupe title,similarity` report possible duplicates without creating or updating existing issues.
+- `plane issues bulk-update` requires each JSON record to include `ref`, for example `PROJ-29`.
+- `plane project context` prints the local `.plane/project-context.json` snapshot.
 - `--target-date` has an alias `--due-date` for convenience.
 - `--label` can be passed multiple times to assign several labels at once.
 - `plane issues list --label` accepts label names (repeatable, AND logic) to filter issues by tag(s).
