File-based project management with vertical slicing. The CLI command is itsvertical (npm package: itsvertical).
Before using any commands, check if itsvertical is available:
itsvertical --version
If not found, install it globally:
npm install -g itsvertical
When working on a task, always read its notes first with itsvertical task notes <file> <task-id>. Notes contain important context, requirements, and decisions about the work.
Every Vertical project follows this pattern:
itsvertical new project.vertical "Project Name" # create a project
itsvertical show project.vertical # see the board with IDs
itsvertical box rename project.vertical <id> "Box Name" # name a box
itsvertical task add project.vertical <layer-id> "Task name" # add tasks
itsvertical task done project.vertical <task-id> # mark done
itsvertical project.vertical # view in browser (shorthand for "open")
The new and open commands automatically track boards in ~/.vertical/history.json. Use itsvertical history list to find all known boards.
.vertical file containing the full board statenotesHtml).All entities are addressed by UUID. Use itsvertical show to get IDs. Every command accepts --json to output the full board state as JSON.
itsvertical <file> # Shorthand for "open"
itsvertical new <path> <name> # Create a new .vertical file
itsvertical show <file> # Print board with IDs
itsvertical show <file> --json # Output board as JSON
itsvertical show <file> --box <slice-id> # Show only one box
itsvertical show <file> --visual # Show visual 3x3 grid with summary table
itsvertical rename <file> <name> # Rename the project
itsvertical open <file> # Open in browser UI
itsvertical history list # List all known boards
itsvertical history list --json # List as JSON array
itsvertical history add <file> # Manually add a board to history
itsvertical history remove <name-or-file> # Remove from history (keeps file)
itsvertical task add <file> <layer-id> <name> # Add task to end of layer
itsvertical task add <file> <layer-id> <name> --after <task-id> # Insert after specific task
itsvertical task done <file> <task-id> # Mark as done
itsvertical task undone <file> <task-id> # Mark as not done
itsvertical task rename <file> <task-id> <name> # Rename
itsvertical task delete <file> <task-id> # Delete
itsvertical task move <file> <task-id> <layer-id> # Move to another layer
itsvertical task notes <file> <task-id> # Print task notes
itsvertical task notes <file> <task-id> --set <html> # Set notes (HTML)
itsvertical task notes <file> <task-id> --clear # Clear notes
itsvertical box rename <file> <slice-id> <name> # Rename a box
itsvertical box clear <file> <slice-id> # Clear box name
itsvertical box swap <file> <id-1> <id-2> # Swap two box positions
itsvertical layer split <file> <task-id> # Split at task (tasks after go to new layer)
itsvertical layer merge <file> <layer-id> # Merge with next layer
itsvertical layer rename <file> <layer-id> <name> # Rename
itsvertical layer clear <file> <layer-id> # Clear name
itsvertical layer status <file> <layer-id> done # Set status to done
itsvertical layer status <file> <layer-id> none # Clear status
itsvertical new project.vertical "Online Course Platform"
itsvertical show project.vertical # get slice IDs
itsvertical box rename project.vertical <id1> "Course Catalog"
itsvertical box rename project.vertical <id2> "Video Player"
itsvertical box rename project.vertical <id3> "Progress Tracking"
itsvertical show project.vertical --box <slice-id> # get the layer ID
itsvertical task add project.vertical <layer-id> "Create mockups"
itsvertical task add project.vertical <layer-id> "Review with team"
itsvertical task add project.vertical <layer-id> "Finalize design"
# Split after "Review with team" — tasks after it go to a new layer
itsvertical layer split project.vertical <review-task-id>
itsvertical layer rename project.vertical <first-layer-id> "Draft"
itsvertical layer rename project.vertical <new-layer-id> "Polish"
# Get structured state for programmatic use
itsvertical show project.vertical --json
The JSON output contains the full board: project, slices (sorted by boxNumber), layers, and tasks with all IDs.
itsvertical show project.vertical --visual
The grid shows all 9 boxes with their tasks, layer structure, and a summary table — useful for a quick overview without opening the browser UI.
# Move a task from one box's layer to another box's layer
itsvertical task move project.vertical <task-id> <target-layer-id>
When --json is passed, errors output as {"error": "..."} instead of plain text. Without --json, errors print to stderr as Error: ....
itsvertical show before operating on entities.--json for reliable parsing.open (or the itsvertical <file> shorthand) in automated workflows — it starts a browser server meant for human interaction. Use the other commands for agent work.
