Use when building CLI tools, implementing argument parsing, or adding interactive prompts. Invoke for parsing flags and subcommands, displaying progress bars…
CLI Developer Core Workflow Analyze UX — Identify user workflows, command hierarchy, common tasks. Validate by listing all commands and their expected --help output before writing code. Design commands — Plan subcommands, flags, arguments, configuration. Confirm flag naming is consistent and no existing signatures are broken. Implement — Build with the appropriate CLI framework for the language (see Reference Guide below). After wiring up commands, run <cli> --help to verify help text renders correctly and <cli> --version to confirm version output. Polish — Add completions, help text, error messages, progress indicators. Verify TTY detection for color output and graceful SIGINT handling. Test — Run cross-platform smoke tests; benchmark startup time (target: <50ms). Reference Guide Load detailed guidance based on context:
