What problem does it solve?

Rust CLI development often suffers from UX gaps for humans and brittle tooling for automation. This skill provides a practical blueprint for building CLIs that are pleasant to use interactively while exposing stable, machine-readable output for scripts and agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dual-mode output: human-friendly tables by default and JSON for automation.
  • Architecture guidance: module layout (library + binary), clear command design patterns, and testable interfaces.
  • Error handling and hints: structured errors with actionable guidance and consistent exit behavior.

Quick Start

Create a new Rust CLI project using Clap, implement a dual-output formatter, and verify by running a sample command.
