Synopsis
What it does: Parse a plan directory and print a structured summary of all phases, task counts, and progress. Use --json for machine-readable output.
Who it's for: Both: power devs (--json) and non-tech users (plain view).
When to use it: Inspecting plan structure, dumping a parsed view for tooling, or feeding into a script via --json.
Examples: ak plan parse ./plans/my-plan ak plan parse ./plans/my-plan --json
What changes on disk: Read-only.
Output modes: pretty default on TTY (colors, ASCII markers) plain auto when stdout piped or --no-interactive json --json (single-object envelope, NDJSON-safe)
Exit codes: 0 success 1 runtime error 2 invalid flags 3 user-cancel (SIGINT, prompt-cancel) 1 plan directory not found or invalid format
