Output Formats

JSON output

Use --json (or BLOCPAD_OUTPUT=json) to print structured output to stdout. When --json is enabled, interactive prompts (when required) are printed to stderr so stdout stays parseable.

Markdown output

Use --md (or BLOCPAD_OUTPUT=md) for LLM-friendly plain text. Markdown output is supported on commands where a plain-text representation is useful (for example task exports, task lists, task detail, comments, pages, goals, epics, stories, and sprints).
