SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Onboard and profile a CLI tool to create reusable environment profiles for AI agent evaluations, ensuring consistent runtime, OS constraints, and non-interactive flag discovery for reuse by evaluation skills.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read agent-facing docs (AGENTS.md, CODING_AGENTS.md, README.md) to determine canonical invocation, env vars, and non-interactive flags.
  • Detect runtime and toolchain from common manifests (pyproject.toml/setup.py for Python, package.json for Node, Cargo.toml for Rust, go.mod for Go) and map to a preferred runner.
  • Locate and validate the target binary by attempting <cli-name> --version and --help, then resolve path for artifact generation.
  • Discover non-interactive flags and config options to enable deterministic evaluations.
  • Save a local environment artifact named <cli-name>-environment containing OS, runtime, binary, version, non-interactive flags, and relevant config env vars.

Quick Start

Provide the CLI name or path, run the onboarding skill against it, and the tool will produce a reusable <cli-name>-environment artifact for subsequent evaluations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I profile a CLI tool to create a reusable environment for agent evaluations?

CLI onboarding reads agent-facing docs like AGENTS.md and README.md to determine canonical invocation, environment variables, and non-interactive flags. It captures runtime details and saves them as a reusable local artifact for deterministic agent evaluations.

Does CLI onboarding support runtime detection for Python, Node, Rust, and Go projects?

Yes, CLI onboarding detects runtimes and toolchains from common manifests including pyproject.toml and setup.py for Python, package.json for Node, Cargo.toml for Rust, and go.mod for Go. It maps these manifests to a preferred runner for artifact generation.

Can I use this to discover non-interactive flags for deterministic CLI evaluations across different operating systems?

Yes, you can use this to discover non-interactive flags and config options across macOS, Linux, and Windows. It performs OS constraint checks and binary resolution by attempting --version and --help commands to enable deterministic CLI evaluations.

What is the best way to save a reusable environment profile after resolving a CLI binary path?

The best way to save a reusable environment profile is to generate a local artifact named <cli-name>-environment. This artifact captures the resolved binary path, version, OS, runtime, non-interactive flags, and relevant config environment variables for subsequent evaluations.

Why do I need to profile CLI tools before running automated agent evaluations?

You need to profile CLI tools before automated agent evaluations to ensure consistent runtime environments and discover non-interactive flags. This prevents execution failures caused by OS mismatches, missing binaries, or unexpected interactive prompts during evaluation.
