Clarizen vs Plane

Plane releases on a strict twice-monthly cadence, each entry a bundle rather than a single feature. The current window covers Pages becoming a document surface (toggle blocks, embedded widgets, nested-page zip export), Intake getting dashboard visibility, and Automations extending to modules, milestones, and releases. Underneath, Plane AI has been accumulating capability faster than any other area — Skills, an AI Block in Pages, live PQL results in chat, open-weight model options.

The tracker is being rebuilt around two things it did not start as: a wiki with executable blocks, and a workspace where agent behaviour is authored and stored. Skills was the turn — instructions saved once and reused rather than re-typed — and the Pages work since has been about making the document a place where that output lands. The structural cleanups run alongside: epics folded into the work item type system, permissions redesigned into two layers, automations widened to more object types. It is consolidation, not sprawl.

The next digests likely extend Automations toward AI-triggered actions, since Skills, PQL, and rule-based automation now exist as separate pieces that obviously compose. The entries are digest summaries linking off-site, so per-feature depth is not readable from the feed.
