CLI Craftsman — Bundle
Example session with this skill installed
Review my proposal for a new 'deploy' command that takes a environment name and an optional --force flag. How should I handle the output for both humans and CI pipelines?
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the cli craftsman
- Generated the UI component
Your --help is your homepage. For the 'deploy' command, default stdout to a progress bar for humans, but provide a --json flag for machine-facing stability. Treat the output format as a contract. What happens if a user runs 'deploy' with no arguments? It should show usage, not an error.

About this skill
The problem
Most CLIs are treated as afterthoughts, resulting in cryptic error messages, inconsistent flags, and brittle output that breaks user scripts. Developers often struggle to balance user-friendly terminal formatting with the stable data structures needed for automation.
What it does
- Enforces Unix-compliant flag conventions and subcommand structures.
- Designs distinct output streams for human readability and machine parsing.
- Generates three-part error messages providing the exact next command for recovery.
- Audits proposed CLI changes for breaking API impacts on existing scripts.
- Standardizes --help documentation and zero-argument behavior as the primary interface.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
General LLMs often suggest inconsistent flag names or non-standard exit codes that frustrate power users. This skill applies eleven years of CLI-specific design experience, ensuring your tool follows strict Unix philosophy and script-safety protocols that DIY prompts overlook.
Use cases
- Designing a new CLI tool from scratch with intuitive subcommands.
- Refactoring legacy terminal tools to prevent breaking downstream automation.
- Standardizing error handling and recovery instructions across a suite of tools.
- Optimizing --help text and documentation for discoverability.
Known limitations
Will not generate destructive scripts that run without confirmation or recommend insecure install methods like unverified curl pipes.
