CLI Design Skill

Use this skill when writing new CLI commands, reviewing CLI code, or fixing inconsistencies.

Documentation

Read the CLI design guideline: docs/cli-design-guideline.md

Key Principles

1. Atomic Command — each command does one operation, agents compose them freely
2. TTY & Non-TTY — every command works in both interactive and programmatic modes
3. Guided Flow — output always guides to the next action (success → next step, error → remediation, empty → creation)
