Frequently Asked Questions about adding-a-command

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add a new CLI command with telemetry in TypeScript?▼

To add a CLI command with telemetry, scaffold a file in the commands directory, wire it into the CLI using explicit imports, and wrap the handler with tracked() to enable telemetry tracking. This standardizes command registration and option parsing.

What is the best way to scaffold a Commander.js command with tests?▼

The best way to scaffold a Commander.js command is to create a command file and a corresponding test scaffold under the tests folder. This ensures the command is testable and includes a defined OptionType interface for safe option parsing.

Does adding a Commander.js command require explicit imports with ES module extensions?▼

Yes, adding a Commander.js command requires explicit imports with ES module extensions. Commands are registered in the CLI using these explicit imports to ensure proper module resolution and discoverability within the TypeScript environment.

Why do I need to wrap my CLI command handler with tracked()?▼

You need to wrap your CLI command handler with tracked() to enable telemetry instrumentation. This enforced pattern ensures every command automatically captures usage data, providing consistent telemetry-ready tracking across the CLI application.

Can I use this CLI command scaffolding without defining an OptionType interface?▼

No, you cannot use this scaffolding without a defined OptionType interface. The Skill requires a defined OptionType interface and frontmatter name and description to ensure option parsing safety and command discoverability within the CLI.
