FAQPage Schema
How do I build a CLI tool with Bun?

Building a Bun CLI involves setting up argument parsing, defining subcommands, handling errors with proper exit codes, and supporting dual output formats like markdown and JSON. This Skill provides patterns for scaffolding a complete CLI architecture with testing strategies and workspace integration.

What's the best way to optimize Bun runtime workflows in a monorepo?

Optimize Bun runtime workflows by applying monorepo patterns, managing lockfiles effectively, and leveraging bunx for fast task execution. This Skill covers workspace architecture, dependency strategies, and performance optimization techniques to reduce startup time and improve developer velocity.

Can I use Bun for scaffolding developer experience patterns?

Yes. This Skill provides frameworks and templates for applying DX patterns that streamline Bun-based development, reduce cognitive load in monorepo projects, and standardize CLI tool creation across teams using argument parsing, error handling, and structured output formats.

How do I handle errors and exit codes in a Bun CLI?

Robust error handling in Bun CLIs requires consistent exit codes, informative error messages, and graceful failure modes. This Skill documents error handling patterns, exit code conventions, and testing strategies to ensure reliable command-line behavior.

What's included in a Bun CLI testing strategy?

A complete testing strategy covers unit tests for argument parsing, integration tests for subcommands, validation of output formats, and verification of exit codes. This Skill provides testing frameworks and patterns tailored to Bun CLI development workflows.

Does Bun support dual output formats like JSON and markdown from a single CLI?

Yes. Bun CLIs can generate both JSON and markdown output from the same tool by implementing format-switching logic. This Skill includes patterns for dual-format output, making your CLI suitable for automation, scripting, and human-readable reports.
