Authenticated CLI Tooling & Operations Guide

This repository treats specialized developer CLI tools as first-class automation interfaces. AI agents and developers should prefer these authenticated CLIs over manual workflows.

1. Tooling Matrix & Authentication Overview

Tool	CLI Binary	Auth Check Command	Primary Usage in System
Google Jules CLI	`jules`	`jules version`	Autonomous 38-dimension code review, remediation sessions, patch application
GitHub CLI	`gh`	`gh auth status`	Pull requests, issues, repo management, label sync, Actions monitoring
Vercel CLI	`vercel`	`vercel whoami`	Frontend and Observatory serverless deployments, preview inspection
Neon CLI	`neonctl`	`neonctl me`	Database branching, connection strings, migrations, schema isolation
Docker CLI	`docker`	`docker info`	Image builds, multi-stage validation, local test containers
Python Package Manager	`uv`	`uv --version`	Virtualenv management, dependency syncing, type checking
Node.js Package Manager	`pnpm`	`pnpm --version`	Frontend dependencies, Next.js build, Biome formatting/linting
Go Toolchain	`go`	`go version`	Backend API compilation, backup worker CLI execution, test suites

2. Command Reference by Tool

A. Google Jules CLI (`jules`)

Review PR:

./scripts/jules-review-loop.sh --pr <pr-number>
make jules-review PR=<pr-number>

Dispatch Remediation Task:

jules new --repo MishraShardendu22/github-backup-automation-system "<task-prompt>"

List Active Sessions:
```
jules remote list --session
```

Pull and Apply Session Patch:

jules remote pull --session <session-id> --apply

B. GitHub CLI (`gh`)

Create Pull Request:

gh pr create --base main --head <branch-name> --assignee "@me" --label "type/<type>,area/<area>,status/ready-for-review" --body "<body-markdown>"

View PR Status & Checks:
```
gh pr status
gh pr checks <pr-number>
```
Check Actions Runs:
```
gh run list --limit 10
```

C. Neon CLI (`neonctl`)

List Branches:

neonctl branches list --project-id <project-id> --output json

Create Ephemeral Staging Branch:

neonctl branches create --project-id <project-id> --name <branch-name> --parent production --output json

Get Connection String:

neonctl connection-string <branch-name> --project-id <project-id> --ssl require

D. Vercel CLI (`vercel`)

Inspect Deployments:
```
vercel ls
```
Deploy Preview:
```
cd frontend && vercel deploy
```

3. Recovery & Re-Authentication Runbook

If any CLI tool reports authentication expiration or failure, alert the human developer with the exact command:

GitHub CLI: gh auth login
Vercel CLI: vercel login
Neon CLI: neonctl auth
Docker Hub: docker login
