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)
Add routing block in packages/squad-cli/src/cli-entry.ts inside main():
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 for Commands:):
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, 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, hire were already present.
