Node.js CLI coding standards for zero dependencies require using built-in modules exclusively to simplify maintenance. This approach enforces consistent patterns across CLI tooling, reducing drift and onboarding time for contributors.

To structure SKILL.md content, include YAML frontmatter with name and description fields, followed by problem statements, feature sections, and a concise Quick Start guide to ensure clear documentation.

Squad CLI tooling supports cross-platform compatibility and built-in test runners as core conventions. These standards ensure CLI tools operate consistently across different environments without external testing dependencies.

The best way to handle errors in Node.js CLI projects is by applying safe error handling conventions. Documenting these patterns across projects prevents drift and maintains consistent user experiences.

Node.js CLI tooling patterns suffer from project drift without a single source of truth for conventions. Establishing standard practices for file structure, error handling, and documentation reduces this drift.
