SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the recurring issue of developers implementing new CLI commands in the source directory but failing to properly register them in the main entry point, leading to unreachable code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Routing Validation: Ensures every new command file is correctly linked in the central CLI entry point.
  • Standardization: Provides a consistent pattern for command implementation, help text generation, and lazy-loading via dynamic imports.
  • Use Case: When adding a new feature like a database migration tool or a diagnostic check, use this Skill to verify that the command is correctly wired into the CLI's main execution loop and help menu.

Quick Start

Use the CLI Command Wiring skill to audit the current project structure and verify that all implemented commands are correctly registered in the entry point.

FAQPage Schema
How do I register a new CLI command in a TypeScript monorepo?

To register a CLI command in a TypeScript monorepo, you must link the new command file in the central entry point using specific import patterns. This ensures the command is available in the main execution loop and help menu.

Why are my TypeScript CLI commands unreachable after adding them to the source directory?

TypeScript CLI commands become unreachable when they are not properly registered in the main entry point. You must enforce specific import patterns and update the central routing module to ensure command availability.

What is the best way to standardize CLI command routing and help text generation?

Standardizing CLI command routing involves enforcing consistent patterns for command implementation and dynamic imports. This approach guarantees uniform help text generation and command availability across the development lifecycle.

Can I use dynamic imports for lazy-loading CLI command modules in TypeScript?

Yes, you can use dynamic imports for lazy-loading CLI command modules in TypeScript. This pattern facilitates modular integration by enforcing specific import structures at the central entry point.

How do I audit a project to verify all CLI commands are correctly wired?

You audit a project by scanning the directory structure and validating that every implemented command file is correctly linked in the central CLI entry point. This process identifies unreachable code and missing routing registrations.
