/fizzy - Fizzy Workflow Command

Full CLI coverage: boards, cards, columns, comments, steps, reactions, tags, users, notifications, pins, webhooks, account settings, search, and board migration.

Agent Invariants

MUST follow these rules:

1. Cards use NUMBER, not ID — fizzy card show 42 uses the card number. Other resources use their id field.
2. Use built-in --jq for filtering to reduce token output — fizzy card list --jq '[.data[] | {number, title}]'. Never pipe to external jq — use --jq instead. --jq implies --json, no need to pass both.
3. Check breadcrumbs in responses for available next actions with pre-filled values.
4. Check for board context via .fizzy.yaml or --board flag before listing cards.
5. Use fizzy doctor for setup/config/auth issues before guessing — it is the primary read-only health check and includes remediation hints.
6. Rich text fields accept markdown or HTML — use repeatable --attach PATH for simple end-appended inline attachments, or embed <action-text-attachment> tags manually when exact placement matters.
7. Card description is a string, but comment body is a nested object — .description vs .body.plain_text.
8. Display the welcome message for new signups — When signup complete --name returns is_new_user: true, you MUST immediately display the welcome_message field prominently to the user. This is a one-time personal note from the CEO — if you skip it, the user will never see it.

Global Flags

All commands support these global flags unless noted otherwise:

Flag	Description
--token TOKEN	API access token
--profile NAME	Named profile (for multi-account users)
--api-url URL	API base URL (default: https://app.fizzy.do)
--jq EXPR	Built-in jq filter for machine-readable JSON output (no external jq required; implies --json, or filters raw data with --quiet/--agent; unsupported on completion, setup, top-level skill, and version with a jq-specific usage error; incompatible with --styled, --markdown, --ids-only, and --count)
--json	JSON envelope output
--quiet	Raw JSON data without envelope
--styled	Human-readable styled output (tables, colors)
--markdown	GFM markdown output (for agents)
--agent	Agent mode (defaults to quiet; combinable with --json/--markdown)
--ids-only	Print one ID per line
--count	Print count of results
--limit N	Client-side truncation of list results
--verbose	Show request/response details

Output format defaults to auto-detection: styled for TTY, JSON for pipes/non-TTY.

Pagination

List commands use --page for pagination and --limit for client-side truncation.

# Get first page (default)
fizzy card list --page 1

# Limit to N results
fizzy card list --limit 5

# Fetch ALL pages at once
fizzy card list --all

Note: --limit and --all cannot be used together.

IMPORTANT: The --all flag controls pagination only - it fetches all pages of results for your current filter. It does NOT change which cards are included. By default, card list returns only open cards. See Card Statuses for how to fetch closed or postponed cards.

Commands supporting --all and --page:

• board list
• board closed
• board postponed
• board stream
• card list
• comment list
• tag list
• user list
• notification list
• webhook list

Configuration

~/.config/fizzy/              # Global config (or ~/.fizzy/)
└── config.yaml               #   Token, account, API URL, default board

.fizzy.yaml                   # Per-repo config (committed to git)

Per-repo config: .fizzy.yaml

account: 123456789
board: 03foq1hqmyy91tuyz3ghugg6c

Priority (highest to lowest):

1. CLI flags (--token, --profile, --api-url, --board)
2. Environment variables (FIZZY_TOKEN, FIZZY_PROFILE, FIZZY_API_URL, FIZZY_BOARD)
3. Named profile settings (account, base URL, board from config.json)
4. Local project config (.fizzy.yaml)
5. Global config (~/.config/fizzy/config.yaml or ~/.fizzy/config.yaml)

Check context:

cat .fizzy.yaml 2>/dev/null || echo "No project configured"
fizzy config show
fizzy config explain

Setup:

fizzy setup                              # Interactive wizard
fizzy doctor                             # Full install/config/auth/API/agent health check
fizzy auth login TOKEN                   # Save token for current profile
fizzy auth login TOKEN --profile agent --account 1  # Separate identity on account 1
fizzy auth status                        # Check auth status
fizzy auth list                          # List all authenticated profiles
fizzy auth switch PROFILE                # Switch active profile
fizzy auth logout                        # Log out current profile
fizzy auth logout --all                  # Log out all profiles
fizzy identity show                      # Show profiles

Signup (New User or Token Generation)

Interactive:

fizzy signup                                    # Full interactive wizard

Step-by-step (for agents):

# Step 1: Request magic link
fizzy signup start --email [e-mail]
# Returns: {"pending_authentication_token": "eyJ..."}

# Step 2: User checks email for 6-digit code, then verify
fizzy signup verify --code ABC123 --pending-token eyJ...
# Returns: {"session_token": "eyJ...", "requires_signup_completion": true/false}
# For existing users (requires_signup_completion=false), also returns: "accounts": [{"name": "...", "slug": "..."}]

# Step 3: Write the session token to a temp file to keep it out of the agent session
echo "eyJ..." > /tmp/fizzy-session && chmod 600 /tmp/fizzy-session

# Step 4a: New user — complete signup (session token via stdin)
fizzy signup complete --name "Full Name" < /tmp/fizzy-session
# Returns: {"token": "fizzy_...", "account": "slug"}

# Step 4b: Existing user — generate token for an account
fizzy signup complete --account SLUG < /tmp/fizzy-session
# Returns: {"token": "fizzy_...", "account": "slug"}

# Step 5: Clean up the temp file
rm /tmp/fizzy-session

Note: The user must check their email for the 6-digit code between steps 1 and 2. The session token is written to a temp file and piped via stdin to avoid exposing it in shell history or the agent's conversation context. Token is saved to the system credential store when available, with a config file as fallback. Profile and API URL are saved to ~/.config/fizzy/ (preferred) or ~/.fizzy/.

Welcome message for new users: When signup complete --name succeeds (new user), the response includes is_new_user: true and a welcome_message field. See Agent Invariant #7 — you MUST display it.

Response Structure

All responses follow this structure:

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": { ... },           // Single object or array
  "summary": "4 boards",     // Human-readable description
  "breadcrumbs": [ ... ],    // Contextual next actions (omitted when empty)
  "context": { ... },        // Location, pagination, and other context (omitted when empty)
  "meta": {
  }
}

Summary field formats:

Command	Example Summary
board list	"5 boards"
board show ID	"Board: Engineering"
card list	"42 cards (page 1)" or "42 cards (all)"
card show 123	"Card #123: Fix login bug"
search "bug"	"7 results for "bug""
notification list	"8 notifications (3 unread)"

List responses with pagination:

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": [ ... ],
  "summary": "10 cards (page 1)",
  "context": {
    "pagination": {
      "has_next": true,
      "next_url": "https://..."
    }
  }
}

Breadcrumbs (contextual next actions):

Responses include a breadcrumbs array suggesting what you can do next. Each breadcrumb has:

• action: Short action name (e.g., "comment", "close", "assign")
• cmd: Ready-to-run command with actual values interpolated
• description: Human-readable description

fizzy card show 42 --jq '.breadcrumbs'

[
  {"action": "comment", "cmd": "fizzy comment create --card 42 --body \"text\"", "description": "Add comment"},
  {"action": "triage", "cmd": "fizzy card column 42 --column <column_id>", "description": "Move to column"},
  {"action": "close", "cmd": "fizzy card close 42", "description": "Close card"},
  {"action": "assign", "cmd": "fizzy card assign 42 --user <user_id>", "description": "Assign user"}
]

Use breadcrumbs to discover available actions without memorizing the full CLI. Values like card numbers and board IDs are pre-filled; placeholders like <column_id> need to be replaced.

Create/update responses include location:

{
  "ok": true,
  "data": { ... },
  "context": {
    "location": "/6102600/cards/579.json"
  }
}

---

ID Formats

IMPORTANT: Cards use TWO identifiers:

Field	Format	Use For
id	03fe4rug9kt1mpgyy51lq8i5i	Internal ID (in JSON responses)
number	579	CLI commands (card show, card update, etc.)

All card CLI commands use the card NUMBER, not the ID.

Other resources (boards, columns, comments, steps, reactions, users) use their id field.

---

Card Statuses

Cards exist in different states. By default, fizzy card list returns open cards only (cards in triage or columns). To fetch cards in other states, use the --indexed-by or --column flags:

Status	How to fetch	Description
Open (default)	fizzy card list	Cards in triage ("Maybe?") or any column
Closed/Done	fizzy card list --indexed-by closed	Completed cards
Not Now	fizzy card list --indexed-by not_now	Postponed cards
Golden	fizzy card list --indexed-by golden	Starred/important cards
Stalled	fizzy card list --indexed-by stalled	Cards with no recent activity

You can also use pseudo-columns:

fizzy card list --column done      # Same as --indexed-by closed
fizzy card list --column not-now   # Same as --indexed-by not_now
fizzy card list --column maybe     # Same as --indexed-by maybe

Fetching all cards on a board:

To get all cards regardless of status (for example, to build a complete board view), make separate queries:

# Open cards (triage + columns)
fizzy card list --board BOARD_ID --all

# Closed/Done cards
fizzy card list --board BOARD_ID --indexed-by closed --all

# Optionally, Not Now cards
fizzy card list --board BOARD_ID --indexed-by not_now --all

---

Built-in jq Filtering

Use --jq for filtering and extracting data. --jq implies --json (or filters raw data with --quiet / --agent) — no need to pass both. Never pipe to external jq — use --jq instead. --jq is for machine-readable JSON output and cannot be combined with --styled, --markdown, --ids-only, or --count.

Reducing Output

# Card summary (most useful)
fizzy card list --jq '[.data[] | {number, title, status, board: .board.name}]'

# First N items from the JSON envelope
fizzy card list --jq '.data[:5]'

# First N items from raw data only
fizzy card list --quiet --jq '.[0:5]'

# Just IDs
fizzy board list --jq '[.data[].id]'

# Specific fields from single item
fizzy card show 579 --jq '.data | {number, title, status, golden}'

# Card with description length (description is a string, not object)
fizzy card show 579 --jq '.data | {number, title, desc_length: (.description | length)}'

Filtering

# Cards with a specific status
fizzy card list --all --jq '[.data[] | select(.status == "published")]'

# Golden cards only
fizzy card list --indexed-by golden --jq '[.data[] | {number, title}]'

# Cards with non-empty descriptions
fizzy card list --jq '[.data[] | select(.description | length > 0) | {number, title}]'

# Cards with steps (must use card show, steps not in list)
fizzy card show 579 --jq '.data.steps'

Extracting Nested Data

# Comment text only (body.plain_text for comments)
fizzy comment list --card 579 --jq '[.data[].body.plain_text]'

# Card description (just .description for cards - it's a string)
fizzy card show 579 --jq '.data.description'

# Step completion status
fizzy card show 579 --jq '[.data.steps[] | {content, completed}]'

Activity Analysis

# Cards with steps count (requires card show for each)
fizzy card show 579 --jq '.data | {number, title, steps_count: (.steps | length)}'

# Comments count for a card
fizzy comment list --card 579 --jq '.data | length'

Command Reference

Identity

fizzy identity show                    # Show your identity and accessible accounts
fizzy identity timezone-update --timezone America/New_York  # Update your timezone for the current account

Account

fizzy account show                     # Show account settings (name, auto-postpone period)
fizzy account entropy --auto_postpone_period_in_days N  # Update account default auto-postpone period (admin only, N: 3, 7, 11, 30, 90, 365)

The auto_postpone_period_in_days is the account-level default. Cards are automatically moved to "Not Now" after this period of inactivity. Each board can override this with board entropy.

Search

Full-text search across cards. The query is sent as a single string to the dedicated search endpoint; if the query exactly matches a card ID, that card is returned directly.

fizzy search QUERY

Examples:

fizzy search "bug"                     # Search for "bug"
fizzy search "login error"             # Single-string FTS query
fizzy search 12345                     # Card-ID lookup shortcut

To filter cards by structured criteria (board, tag, assignee, status, sort, or AND-of-words term filtering), use fizzy card list with --search and the relevant filter flags:

fizzy card list --search "bug" --board BOARD_ID --indexed-by closed --sort newest

Activities

fizzy activity list [--board ID] [--creator ID] [--page N] [--all]

Boards

fizzy board list [--page N] [--all]
fizzy board show BOARD_ID
fizzy board create --name "Name" [--all_access true/false] [--auto_postpone_period_in_days N]
fizzy board update BOARD_ID [--name "Name"] [--all_access true/false] [--auto_postpone_period_in_days N]
fizzy board publish BOARD_ID
fizzy board unpublish BOARD_ID
fizzy board delete BOARD_ID
fizzy board entropy BOARD_ID --auto_postpone_period_in_days N  # N: 3, 7, 11, 30, 90, 365
fizzy board accesses --board ID [--page N]             # Show board access settings and users
fizzy board closed --board ID [--page N] [--all]       # List closed cards
fizzy board postponed --board ID [--page N] [--all]    # List postponed cards
fizzy board stream --board ID [--page N] [--all]       # List stream cards
fizzy board involvement BOARD_ID --involvement LEVEL   # Update your involvement

board show includes public_url only when the board is published. board entropy updates the auto-postpone period for a specific board (overrides account default). Requires board admin.

Board Migration

Migrate boards between accounts (e.g., from personal to team account).

fizzy migrate board BOARD_ID --from SOURCE_SLUG --to TARGET_SLUG [flags]
  --include-images                       # Migrate card header images and inline attachments
  --include-comments                     # Migrate card comments
  --include-steps                        # Migrate card steps (to-do items)
  --dry-run                              # Preview migration without making changes

What gets migrated:

• Board with same name
• All columns (preserving order and colors)
• All cards with titles, descriptions, timestamps, and tags
• Card states (closed, golden, column placement)
• Optional: header images, inline attachments, comments, and steps

What cannot be migrated:

• Card creators (become the migrating user)
• Card numbers (new sequential numbers in target)
• Comment authors (become the migrating user)
• User assignments (team must reassign manually)

Requirements: You must have API access to both source and target accounts. Verify with fizzy identity show.

# Preview migration first
fizzy migrate board BOARD_ID --from personal --to team-account --dry-run

# Basic migration
fizzy migrate board BOARD_ID --from personal --to team-account

# Full migration with all content

File Uploads

fizzy upload file PATH
# Returns: { "signed_id": "...", "attachable_sgid": "..." }

ID	Use For
signed_id	Card header/background images (--image flag)
attachable_sgid	Manual inline rich text embedding with <action-text-attachment>

Simple inline attachment mode: prefer --attach PATH on card create, card update, comment create, and comment update when appending attachments at the end is fine.

Common Workflows

Create Card with Steps

# Create the card
CARD=$(fizzy card create --board BOARD_ID --title "New Feature" \
  --description "<p>Feature description</p>" --jq '.data.number')

# Add steps
fizzy step create --card $CARD --content "Design the feature"
fizzy step create --card $CARD --content "Implement backend"
fizzy step create --card $CARD --content "Write tests"

Link Code to Card

# Add a comment linking the commit
fizzy comment create --card 42 --body "<p>Commit $(git rev-parse --short HEAD): $(git log -1 --format=%s)</p>"

# Close the card when done
fizzy card close 42

Create Card with Inline Attachment

Simple mode:

fizzy card create --board BOARD_ID --title "Bug Report" --description "See the screenshot below" --attach screenshot.png

Advanced/manual placement mode:

# Upload image
SGID=$(fizzy upload file screenshot.png --jq '.data.attachable_sgid')

# Create description file with embedded image
cat > desc.html << EOF
<p>See the screenshot below:</p>
<action-text-attachment sgid="$SGID"></action-text-attachment>
EOF

# Create card
fizzy card create --board BOARD_ID --title "Bug Report" --description_file desc.html

Create Card with Background Image (only when explicitly requested)

# Validate file is an image
MIME=$(file --mime-type -b /path/to/image.png)
if [[ ! "$MIME" =~ ^image/ ]]; then
  echo "Error: Not a valid image (detected: $MIME)"
  exit 1
fi

# Upload and get signed_id
SIGNED_ID=$(fizzy upload file /path/to/header.png --jq '.data.signed_id')

# Create card with background
fizzy card create --board BOARD_ID --title "Card" --image "$SIGNED_ID"

Move Card Through Workflow

# Move to a column
fizzy card column 579 --column maybe

# Assign to yourself
fizzy card self-assign 579

# Or assign to another user
fizzy card assign 579 --user USER_ID

# Mark as golden (important)
fizzy card golden 579

# When done, close it
fizzy card close 579

Move Card to Different Board

# Move card to another board
fizzy card move 579 --to TARGET_BOARD_ID

Search and Filter Cards

# Full-text search
fizzy search "bug" --jq '[.data[] | {number, title}]'

# Filter cards by criteria (use card list, not search)
fizzy card list --search "login" --board BOARD_ID --sort newest

# Find recently created cards
fizzy card list --created today --sort newest

# Find cards closed this week
fizzy card list --indexed-by closed --closed thisweek

# Find unassigned cards
fizzy card list --unassigned --board BOARD_ID

React to a Card

# Add reaction directly to a card
fizzy reaction create --card 579 --content "👍"

# List reactions on a card
fizzy reaction list --card 579 --jq '[.data[] | {id, content, reacter: .reacter.name}]'

Add Comment with Reaction

# Add comment
COMMENT=$(fizzy comment create --card 579 --body "<p>Looks good!</p>" --jq '.data.id')

# Add reaction to the comment
fizzy reaction create --card 579 --comment $COMMENT --content "👍"

Rich Text Formatting

Card descriptions and comments support markdown or HTML. For simple inline attachments appended at the end, use --attach PATH.

For exact placement, upload first and embed <action-text-attachment> tags manually. For multiple paragraphs with spacing:

<p>First paragraph.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Second paragraph with spacing above.</p>

Note: Each attachable_sgid can only be used once. Upload the file again for multiple uses.

Default Behaviors

• Card images: Use inline (via attachable_sgid in description) by default. Only use background/header (signed_id with --image) when user explicitly says "background" or "header".
• Comment images: Always inline. Comments do not support background images.

Error Handling

Error response format:

{
  "ok": false,
  "error": "Not Found",
  "code": "not_found",
  "hint": "optional context"
}

Exit codes:

Code	Meaning
0	Success
1	Usage / invalid arguments
2	Not found
3	Authentication failure
4	Permission denied
5	Rate limited
6	Network error
7	API / server error
8	Ambiguous match

Authentication errors (exit 3):

fizzy doctor                             # Full health check with hints
fizzy auth status                        # Check auth
fizzy auth list                          # Check which profiles are configured
fizzy auth switch PROFILE                # Switch to correct profile
fizzy auth login TOKEN                   # Re-authenticate
fizzy auth login TOKEN --profile agent --account 1  # Save an aliased profile
fizzy setup                              # Full interactive setup

Not found errors (exit 2): Verify the card number or resource ID is correct. Cards use NUMBER, not ID.

Permission denied (exit 4): Some operations (user update, user deactivate) require admin/owner role.

Network errors (exit 6): Check API URL configuration:

fizzy doctor                             # Full connectivity + API URL diagnostics
fizzy config explain                     # Why this API URL won
fizzy auth status                        # Shows configured profile and API URL
