lazyplan (lpui) — v0.8.0

Terminal stream-of-consciousness console for issue tracking + roadmap planning, built to run in tmux next to opencode and lazygit. Design rules live in DESIGN_SYSTEM.md, enforced by src/lazyplan/design.py.

Install

pipx install lazyplan-tui   # isolated global `lpui` (+ `lazyplan` alias)
# or from a checkout: pipx install .
# or: python3 -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate && pip install -e .
lpui --help
# optional: shell completions
eval "$(lpui completion --shell bash)"   # or --shell zsh

Renamed from lp to lpui (lazyplan works too): plain lp collided with the classic Unix print command /usr/bin/lp, which shadows pipx's ~/.local/bin on default Fedora PATH order. Use command lp or the full path if you ever need the printer.

DB resolution (first match wins): --db PATH → $LAZYPLAN_DB → enclosing git repo's .plan/lazyplan.db → global ~/.local/share/lazyplan/lazyplan.db.

Repo-scoped workflow

Each git repo gets its own plan, stored with the code:

cd ~/my-project
lpui init        # creates .plan/lazyplan.db + .plan/config.json, then offers
               # the agent-skills wizard (universal `.agents/skills/lazyplan/`
               # + `## lazyplan` pointer in AGENTS.md). Flags: --no-skills,
               # --yes, --skills-scope project|global|both|none; --json stays
               # machine-readable and never prompts.
lpui info        # resolved db path, repo root, counts, .plan files
lpui add-project --name "my-project" --start 2026-10-18 --end 2026-12-31
lpui ui          # statusbar shows [my-project]; agents in any subdir share it

Run lpui from any subdirectory — it walks up to the repo root (via git rev-parse with a .git fallback). Outside a repo it uses the global DB. Commit .plan/ to share the plan with the team, or ignore *.db to keep it local — your call.

Release (semver)

Version lives in one place: version in pyproject.toml. The README header mirrors it; tests/test_version.py fails the gates on drift.

./tools/bump.sh patch [--push]   # or minor | major; --dry-run to preview

bump.sh validates semver, updates pyproject.toml + README, commits, and tags vX.Y.Z (refuses a dirty tree or an existing tag). Pushing the tag (--push, or Actions → bump → patch/minor/major) triggers the release workflow: tag-vs-pyproject check, sdist/wheel build, GitHub Release with auto-generated notes. CI (ci.yml) runs ./tools/check.sh on every push/PR.

tmux workflow

./tools/tmux-lazyplan.sh        # plan | opencode | lazygit

Dev / gates

pip install -e ".[dev,postgres]"   # ruff + mypy (+ psycopg for `lpui sync`)
./tools/check.sh                   # ruff check + format --check + mypy (strict)
                                   # + unittest on system python AND venv python

Standards live in DESIGN_SYSTEM.md (§Python standards, pyguide-based).

Agents never touch the TUI process — they call lpui --actor NAME ... against the same SQLite file (proposals/questions for anything needing human eyes); the TUI polls a fingerprint (mtime + counts + max ids + last event) every second and toasts + activity-lines new arrivals. lpui sync snapshots the db to Postgres for SQL-side readers (see src/lazyplan/postgres_sync.py).

TUI (lpui ui)

Single panel, nano-style bottom bar (activity line, statusbar, command bar, key footer). Mouse click/expand works.

The command bar accepts the same verbs as lpui (add-task --story 1 --title x, status --kind task --id 1 --to done, tree/gantt/feed, help).

CLI (agent ingress)

Flags work before or after the subcommand (lpui list --json == lpui --json list).

Roadmap (dogfooded)

The repo DB holds 2 projects (17 stories, 60 tasks, all done): P#1 “lazyplan roadmap” (11 stories, 37 tasks — MVP, planning power, distribution, ownership, acceptance criteria, risks, goals/scope, materials, agent ingress, postgres sync, TUI polish) and P#2 “lazyplan architecture hardening” (6 stories, 23 tasks — toolchain, types, style, architecture, test hygiene, docs). All feature work goes here — lpui list, lpui gantt --tasks, lpui show --kind story --id N, lpui ui.
