 ## Why this CLI
 
 - **One magic command.** `tripo make <anything>` detects what you gave it — prompt text, an image, 2–4 view images, a model file, a URL, a task id, or `@last` — picks the right endpoint, model, and parameters, then waits and downloads the artifacts. No file_token, no polling loops.
-- **A 3D domain brain, not a thin API wrapper.** Model choice is a fixed rule (low-poly intent or face budget ≤ 20000 → `tripo-p1`, everything else → `tripo-v3.1`; opt into the P-series preview with `--model tripo-p2` for quad low-poly), P-series illegal parameters are stripped locally, quad + GLB is rejected before it costs you credits, and 7 scenario presets (`--for game-mobile|game-pc|film|print|ar-web|anim|toy`) encode sane parameters + processing chains + delivery formats.
+- **A 3D domain brain, not a thin API wrapper.** Model choice is a fixed rule (low-poly intent or face budget ≤ 20000 → `tripo-p1`, everything else → `tripo-v3.1`; opt into the P-series **Preview** with `--model tripo-p2` for quad low-poly). Those are CLI aliases — the wire value the API receives is `P1-20260311` / `v3.1-20260211` / `P2-20260801` (full alias ↔ wire ↔ status table: `tripo docs --topic commands/generate`; official [Models & Versions](https://developers.tripo3d.ai/en/docs/models-and-versions) and [P Series](https://developers.tripo3d.ai/en/models/p1) pages). P-series illegal parameters are stripped locally, quad + GLB is rejected before it costs you credits, and 7 scenario presets (`--for game-mobile|game-pc|film|print|ar-web|anim|toy`) encode sane parameters + processing chains + delivery formats.
+- **You see the plan before you pay.** `tripo make` prints a plan card — one numbered line per API call (endpoint, what it does, its arguments) — and asks before submitting; afterwards it reports the total credits **and** a per-task breakdown. `--yes` (automatic when headless) skips the question but keeps the card in the log.
 - **Agent-native.** Non-TTY runs are automatically headless (`--json --yes --no-open`), stdout carries exactly one JSON line per command, progress goes to stderr, exit codes are stable, and NDJSON pipes compose: `tripo make cat.png | tripo model texture | tripo anim rig`. An LLM-facing skill package ships inside the npm package (`tripo docs --llm`).

 ## For AI coding agents
 
 - `make`/`watch` are blocking: run them, wait for exit, read the single JSON line on stdout. Do not poll yourself.
+- The plan card on stderr lists every call before it runs; the final JSON carries `credits_consumed` (total for the run) plus `credits_breakdown` (per task) when a chain ran.
 - Exit codes: `0` ok · `2` usage · `3` auth · `4` insufficient credits · `5` content policy · `6` task failed (credits auto-refunded) · `7` network · `8` not found · `9` rate limit.
 - `preview.png` in every output directory is your eyes: look at it, then decide to `tripo redo` or continue the chain.
 - Full behavior rules: `tripo docs --llm`, per-command docs via `tripo docs --topic commands/make`.

 ## Behavior rules (read first)
 
-1. **`tripo make` is synchronous and blocking.** It submits the task, polls, downloads artifacts, then exits. Wait for the process to finish and read the final JSON from stdout. Do NOT re-implement polling, do NOT add your own timeout shorter than 15 minutes, do NOT stop just because you saw a task_id in the logs.
+1. **`tripo make` is synchronous and blocking.** It prints a plan card on stderr (one numbered line per API call: endpoint, purpose, args), then submits, polls, downloads artifacts, and exits. In a TTY it asks "Run this plan?" first; `--yes` (auto-enabled when headless) skips the prompt but still prints the card. Wait for the process to finish and read the final JSON from stdout. Do NOT re-implement polling, do NOT add your own timeout shorter than 15 minutes, do NOT stop just because you saw a task_id in the logs.
 2. **stdout is the contract; stderr is commentary.** With `--json` (auto-enabled when piped), stdout carries exactly one final JSON line. Progress/logs go to stderr.
 3. **Artifacts are local files.** The result JSON has `output_dir`, `model_file`, `preview`. Look at `preview.png` to judge quality; re-roll with `tripo redo` if needed.
 4. **Exit codes are stable** — branch on them:
    - 0 success · 2 usage/params · 3 auth · 4 insufficient credits (tell the human to run `tripo topup`) · 5 content policy · 6 task failed (credits auto-refunded) · 7 network · 8 not found · 9 rate limit (retry with backoff)
 5. **Never invent parameters.** Unknown `--param key=value` pairs pass through to the API; stick to documented ones. The full parameter/model/preset reference from the official API docs is bundled: `tripo docs --topic commands/generate` (3D + image generation) and `tripo docs --topic commands/process` (texture/convert/rig/retarget/mesh) — read those instead of browsing the website.
-6. **Don't pick legacy model versions.** The CLI auto-selects `tripo-v3.1` (high fidelity) or `tripo-p1` (low-poly, face budget ≤ 20000). Only override `--model` when the human asks (e.g. `--model tripo-p2` for the P-series preview with quad support, or `tripo-v3.0` / `tripo-v2.5` for reproducing old projects).
+6. **Validate before spending: `--dry-run --json`.** Same command plus `--dry-run` prints the plan as JSON with zero network calls and no credits: the chosen `model`, the completed `steps[].payload` for every API call, `warnings` (auto-adjustments) and `errors` (blocking; exit 2). When `valid` is true, re-run without `--dry-run`. Details: `tripo docs --topic commands/make` § "Dry run".
+7. **Don't pick legacy model versions.** The CLI auto-selects `tripo-v3.1` (high fidelity) or `tripo-p1` (low-poly, face budget ≤ 20000). Only override `--model` when the human asks (e.g. `--model tripo-p2` for the P-series **Preview** with quad support, or `tripo-v3.0` / `tripo-v2.5` for reproducing old projects). `tripo-*` names are CLI aliases — the CLI sends the dated wire value (`tripo-p2` → `P2-20260801`); the API rejects the alias itself with 1004. Alias ↔ wire ↔ status table: `tripo docs --topic commands/generate` ("Models & Versions").

+**Alias vs wire value.** `tripo-*`, `p1`, `p2`, `v3.1` … are CLI-side aliases; the CLI always sends the dated wire value in the `model` field (`--model tripo-p2` → `"model": "P2-20260801"`). The v3 server whitelist accepts wire values only — sending an alias straight to the API returns 1004 `invalid model` with the allowed list. `task.json` records the wire value that was actually used. `tripo-turbo` / `tripo-v2.0` appear in some docs but are **not** on the v3 whitelist (400).

+- `valid` / `errors` — `errors` are blocking (illegal chain order, out-of-range `face_limit`, quad + GLTF, missing `animation` for retarget, ...). The real run would exit 2 on them before spending anything; the dry run exits 2 too, so branch on the exit code or on `valid`.
+- `warnings` — adjustments the CLI applies automatically (e.g. `P1 does not support quad (removed)`); safe to proceed, but check they match your intent.
+- `steps[].payload` — the exact body that would be POSTed. Local files show as `<upload:path>` (also listed in `pending_uploads`); chain steps use `<upstream>` for the task id that does not exist yet.
+- A bare task id with no local history entry cannot have its type checked offline: chain legality is reported as unverified in `warnings` and checked by the real run.
+- Without `--json` the same plan card as the real run is printed on stdout, followed by the warnings/errors and a verdict line.
+
+Typical agent loop: dry-run → fix `errors` / adjust params → dry-run again until `valid` → drop `--dry-run` and run for real.
