A power-user companion for the terminal.

The canvas is the primary surface. The CLI is for developers who want to script, pipe, and automate without switching windows.

terminal

$npm install -g @hilla/cli

Node 24+. Works on macOS, Linux, Windows.

Three core commands

Plan, manage, ship.

hilla plan

One sentence → a full board.

$ hilla plan "Ship a SaaS for restaurant analytics"
✓ Sprints, cards, and dependencies generated
→ Board ready at hilla.ai/b/rest-analytics

hilla card

Create, update, list, complete.

$ hilla card add "Wire Stripe webhook"
✓ Card created

$ hilla card complete <task-id>
✓ task → done

hilla ship

Push to Linear, GitHub, and more.

$ hilla ship --to linear
✓ Cards exported to Linear
→ View in Linear

AI-assisted execution

Connect an AI assistant. It reads the board and runs the work.

Why it exists

The web app is great. The CLI is faster. For people who already live in tmux, the CLI keeps the plan one keystroke away from the code. Pipe a board through jq, chain--jsoninto your own scripts, run hilla shipin a post-commit hook. Plan and ship on the same loop, in the surface you already live in.
