Lists & Projects

BEAM organizes work as projects containing lists containing tasks. These commands create, inspect, and retire the containers. Destructive operations confirm before running.


list

Aliases: none
Purpose: Show, create, or delete lists in the active project.
Syntax:

list
list "Name"
list rm <name-or-#>

Flags: none
Examples:

list
list "Slide work"
list rm "Slide work"

See also: lists, move, project

With no arguments, shows the active project's lists with active/done counts. With a name, creates the list (or opens it if it already exists).


lists

project

Aliases: none
Purpose: Show, create, delete, or configure projects.
Syntax:

project
project "Name"
project rm <name> [--force]
project link <name> <url> ["title"]
project unlink <name> <index-or-url>
project links <name>
project instructions [show|set "..."|clear]

Flags:

--force    skip the delete confirmation

Examples:

project "Tuesday talk"
project instructions set "Answers about this project should assume a 30-minute talk slot."
project rm "Old sandbox"

See also: projects, archive, list

project instructions attaches standing guidance the AI reads whenever it works inside that project. Deleting a project cascades to its lists and tasks (they land in trash) and asks you to confirm first unless --force.


projects

Aliases: none
Purpose: List all projects.
Syntax:

Flags: none
Examples:

See also: project, archives


archive

Aliases: none
Purpose: Archive a project, or list and restore archived projects.
Syntax:

archive "Project"
archive list
archive restore <N>

Flags: none
Examples:

archive "Q2 planning"
archive list
archive restore 2

See also: archives, trash

Archiving confirms first, then moves the whole project out of the active workspace without deleting anything. Restore brings it back intact.


archives

Aliases: none
Purpose: List archived projects.
Syntax:
