System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
Prevents broken or unpredictable command-line, TUI, and daemon interfaces that confuse operators, fail automation, or mishandle signals, outputs, and config precedence.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Deterministic interface contracts: Defines command models (commands/subcommands/flags/args), config precedence, stdout/stderr separation, machine-readable output modes, and stability guarantees.
- Operational safety for real environments: Specifies exit-code taxonomy, dry-run behavior, confirmation/scoping for destructive actions, idempotency rules, and lock/lifecycle handling.
- Signal- and lifecycle-aware daemons: Covers readiness vs liveness, shutdown/drain semantics for SIGINT/SIGTERM, and atomic config reload via SIGHUP.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to design a scriptable CLI and systemd daemon interface for your workflow with deterministic config precedence, JSON output, well-defined exit codes, SIGTERM/SIGHUP handling, and a verified dry-run boundary.
