bradygaster Skill: CLI Command Wiring
Bug class: Commands implemented in packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/ but never routed in cli-entry.ts.
Checklist — Adding a New CLI Command
Create command file in
packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/<name>.ts- Export a
run<Name>(cwd, options)async function (or class with static methods for utility modules)
- Export a
Add routing block in
packages/squad-cli/src/cli-entry.tsinsidemain():if (cmd === '<name>') { const { run<Name> } = await import('./cli/commands/<name>.js'); // parse args, call function await run<Name>(process.cwd(), options); return; }Add help text in the help section of
cli-entry.ts(search forCommands:):console.log(` ${BOLD}<name>${RESET} <description>`); console.log(` Usage: <name> [flags]`);Verify both exist — the recurring bug is doing step 1 but missing steps 2-3.
Wiring Patterns by Command Type
| Type | Example | How to wire |
|---|---|---|
| Standard command | export.ts, build.ts |
run*() function, parse flags from args |
| Placeholder command | loop, cast (alias: hire) |
Inline in cli-entry.ts, prints pending message |
| Utility/check module | rc-tunnel.ts, copilot-bridge.ts |
Wire as diagnostic check (e.g., isDevtunnelAvailable()) |
| Subcommand of another | init-remote.ts |
Already used inside parent + standalone alias |
Common Import Pattern
import { BOLD, RESET, DIM, RED, GREEN, YELLOW } from './cli/core/output.js';
Use dynamic await import() for command modules to keep startup fast (lazy loading).
History
- #237 / PR #244: 4 commands wired (rc, copilot-bridge, init-remote, rc-tunnel). aspire, link, loop, cast (née hire) were already present.
