What Adding a Command does

Adding a Command guides the creation of new CLI commands following the Commander.js pattern, including registration in src/cli.ts, telemetry tracking via tracked(), and option parsing. Use when adding a new command or subcommand, not for modifying existing ones.

Adding a Command is cataloged under DevOps on DirSkills. Adding a Command comes from a repository tagged agent-config, ai-agents, anthropic, claude-code and claude-md.

Excerpt

Adding a Command

Critical

Export pattern: Command must export a named async function: export async function myCommand(options?: OptionType). Never use default exports.
Registration in cli.ts: Every command must be imported and registered with .command() chain in src/cli.ts, wrapped with tracked() for telemetry.
Error signaling: Use throw new Error('__exit__') to exit gracefully without printing the error message. Use chalk for user-facing messages.
Options typing: Commands receiving options must define a TypeScript interface for those options. Pass options as a destructured object parameter.
