cli-builder
From the author
Build or refactor agent-facing CLI tools with non-interactive commands, stable --help and --json contracts, idempotent operations, and --dry-run previews. Use for CLI design, agent-friction refactors, output/exit-code debugging, or automation safety. Do not use for GUI/TUI design, conversational tools, MCP server design, or general API architecture; use api-design-and-evolution for the latter.

- cli-for-agentsOutlineDriven/outline-driven-developmentUse when asked to build or review a CLI intended for coding agents and return flag-driven, pipeline-safe, idempotent design advice. Not for running or profiling a CLI: use control-cli.Engineering★ 54
- agent-interface-designNeeeophytee/finding-unknowns-skillsDesign tools, scripts, and CLIs that an agent will call, so the interface teaches its own use instead of a wall of prose and examples. Use when building an MCP server or tool definition, writing an agent-facing script, or when an agent keeps misusing a tool it already has.Design★ 353
- cli-ops0xDarkMatter/claude-modsPatterns for building production-quality CLI tools with predictable behavior, parseable output, and agentic workflows. Triggers: cli tool, command line tool, build cli, cli patterns, agentic cli, cli design, typer cli, click cli.Engineering★ 76
- cli-creatoropenai/skillsBuild a composable CLI for Codex from API docs, an OpenAPI spec, existing curl examples, an SDK, a web app, an admin tool, or a local script. Use when the user wants Codex to create a command-line tool that can run from any repo, expose composable read/write commands, return stable JSON, manage auth, and pair with a companion skill.OfficialEngineering★ 28.3K
- cli-anythingcoco-research/cocoWrap any command-line tool into a JSON-emitting agent skill. Use when you want to make a CLI reliably callable and parseable by an AI agent — introspect its --help, define a structured-output (--json) contract and a stable error contract, then generate a SKILL.md wrapper with verified examples. Triggers on "wrap this CLI", "make X agent-usable", "generate a skill for this command", "turn a tool into an agent skill".Engineering★ 787
- build-agent-jsAgile-V/agile_v_skillsJavaScript/TypeScript/Web build agent for web apps, Node backends, and frontend components. Extends build-agent with JS/Web conventions. Use when building web apps, APIs, or frontend/backend features.Design★ 54
