stx-cli - SKILL.md Agent Skill

name: stx.cli description: Command-line interface for SciTeX platform operations — 30+ subcommands with lazy loading. Specialization of scitex-cli-convention.

stx.cli

This skill is a specialization of the canonical SciTeX CLI convention. See: src/scitex/_skills/general/03_interface_02_cli.md (same repo) for the canonical rules. This file only covers scitex (scitex-python) specific nouns, the 30+ module-CLI layout, and Click lazy-loading.

The stx.cli module provides the unified scitex command-line interface for interacting with SciTeX platform services. It uses lazy loading so startup is instant regardless of how many subcommands exist.
