This section covers: - **[Orchestrator Pattern](orchestrator-pattern.md)** - Coordinate multi-step workflows - **[Subcommand Design](subcommand-design.md)** - Build independently useful commands - **[Input/Output Contracts](io-contracts.md)** - Design for pipelines and automation --- ## Implementation See the full implementation guide in the [source documentation](https://adaptive-enforcement-lab.com/build/go-cli-architecture/). ## Key Principles | Practice | Description | | ---------- | ------------- | | **Flat hierarchy** | Avoid deeply nested subcommands (max 2 levels) | | **Verb-noun ordering** | `myctl restart deployment` not `myctl deployment restart` | | **Consistent flags** | Use same flag names across commands | | **Hidden internal commands** | Mark debugging commands as hidden | | **Exit codes** | Use consistent exit codes (0=success, 1=failure, 2=usage error) | --- *Design commands for both humans and scripts.* ## Examples See [examples.md](examples.md) for code examples. ## References - [Source Documentation](https://adaptive-enforcement-lab.com/build/go-cli-architecture/) - [AEL Build](https://adaptive-enforcement-lab.com/build/) --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/adaptive-enforcement-lab) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
