CLI Command Development Skill

Use this skill for CLI-related implementation work across commands, routes, utilities, and tests.

When to Use

• Adding or modifying CLI commands in bin/
• Updating routes in routes/
• Modifying shared utilities in utils/
• Adding or adjusting tests in tests/
• Updating i18n text and translations

Procedure

1. Identify the target file(s) and the command/feature scope.
2. Apply the relevant instructions:

• CLI command development rules
• Route development rules (if under routes/)
• Utility module development rules (if under utils/)
• i18n translation and text handling rules
• Testing rules and utilities reuse

1. Make minimal, testable changes following existing patterns.
2. Update i18n properties for any new user-facing text.
3. Run targeted tests only if needed.

Notes

• All user-facing text must use text bundles (bundle.getText).
• Keep CLI command options and validation consistent with existing commands.
• Prefer existing helpers in utils/ rather than adding new ones.
