cli-developer
Use when building CLI tools, implementing argument parsing, or adding interactive prompts. Invoke for CLI design, argument parsing, interactive prompts, progress indicators, shell completions.
Why use this skill?
Build fast, intuitive CLI tools with expert guidance on argument parsing, shell completions, terminal UIs, and cross-platform architecture.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/veeramanikandanr48/cli-developerWhat This Skill Does
The cli-developer skill transforms your OpenClaw agent into a senior CLI architect. It provides specialized knowledge in building high-performance, cross-platform command-line interfaces. Whether you are building internal utilities or public-facing developer tools, this skill ensures your CLI is fast, intuitive, and follows industry standards. It covers the entire development lifecycle, from designing ergonomic command hierarchies and argument parsing to implementing terminal UIs, shell completions, and performance optimizations. The skill is language-agnostic, providing specific patterns for Node.js, Python, and Go ecosystems, ensuring your tools feel native to the environment they run in.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, run the following command in your terminal:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/veeramanikandanr48/cli-developer
Use Cases
- Building developer-facing tools that require complex subcommands and flag structures.
- Implementing interactive CLI forms or wizards for automated task setup.
- Adding visual feedback loops like spinners, progress bars, and colored terminal output for long-running processes.
- Standardizing CLI behavior across Windows, macOS, and Linux, including shell completion support for bash, zsh, and fish.
- Optimizing tool startup times to remain under 50ms, ensuring a snappy user experience during repeated execution.
Example Prompts
- "I'm building a Python CLI using Typer. How can I structure my subcommands to handle nested configurations while maintaining a fast startup time?"
- "Create a Node.js utility that uses Inquirer for interactive setup and includes a progress bar for file downloads. Ensure it handles SIGINT gracefully."
- "Help me design a CLI flag architecture for a Go-based tool that uses Cobra. I need to support environment variable overrides and a config file format."
Tips & Limitations
To get the most out of this skill, always provide the specific language or framework you are using (e.g., "Python/Click" or "Go/Cobra"). Remember that this skill emphasizes non-blocking I/O; if your CLI must handle large datasets, ensure you follow the guidance on streaming output. Note that while this skill is excellent at architecture and design, ensure you perform final security audits on any generated code, particularly when handling user input or file system paths. Always test on multiple platforms to ensure shell completion scripts function correctly across different shells.
