# CLI Command Development Skill

Use this skill for CLI-related implementation work across commands, routes, utilities, and tests.

## When to Use
- Adding or modifying CLI commands in `bin/`
- Updating routes in `routes/`
- Modifying shared utilities in `utils/`
- Adding or adjusting tests in `tests/`
- Updating i18n text and translations

## Procedure
1. Identify the target file(s) and the command/feature scope.
2. Apply the relevant instructions:
   - CLI command development rules
   - Route development rules (if under `routes/`)
   - Utility module development rules (if under `utils/`)
   - i18n translation and text handling rules
   - Testing rules and utilities reuse
3. Make minimal, testable changes following existing patterns.
4. Update i18n properties for any new user-facing text.
5. Run targeted tests only if needed.

## Notes
- All user-facing text must use text bundles (`bundle.getText`).
- Keep CLI command options and validation consistent with existing commands.
- Prefer existing helpers in `utils/` rather than adding new ones.
