cli-detector

What problem does it solve?

Discovering which external SaaS platforms a codebase depends on and whether those platforms provide official CLI tools is time-consuming and error-prone when done manually; this Skill automates detection, verification, and reporting so developers can quickly understand external surface area and automation options.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multi-vector detection: Scans package manifests, environment variable patterns, configuration files, source imports, implicit signals, and CI/CD pipelines to find external services.
• Authoritative CLI verification: Uses Exa queries to confirm whether each detected service offers an official CLI, capturing install commands and documentation links.
• Actionable reporting: Produces a clear table of services with usage context and CLI status, plus an exclusions table for noise such as generic DB clients.
• Use case: Auditing a repository before automating deployments to know which vendor CLIs to install and script against.

Quick Start

Run the CLI Detector on the repository and return a table listing each detected external service, how it was found, and the verified official CLI installation instructions.
