A checklist for connecting command implementations to a command-line application's entry point. It focuses on adding routing, argument handling, and help text after creating a command file.

Use it when adding or debugging commands in the stated CLI structure. It helps verify the command file, routing block, argument parsing, and help message are all present.

A command can be fully implemented yet remain unusable if the program never routes user input to it. This checklist helps catch that wiring gap.

cli-wiring — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by elbruno

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add elbruno/ElBruno.MempalaceNet --skill cli-wiring

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/elbruno/ElBruno.MempalaceNet

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00481
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00241
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00096

Security

Grade A, and why

cli-wiring scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to cli-wiring — 4 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Skill: CLI Command Wiring

Bug class: Commands implemented in packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/ but never routed in cli-entry.ts.

Checklist — Adding a New CLI Command

Create command file in packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/<name>.ts
- Export a run<Name>(cwd, options) async function (or class with static methods for utility modules)

Add routing block in packages/squad-cli/src/cli-entry.ts inside main():

if (cmd === '<name>') {
  const { run<Name> } = await import('./cli/commands/<name>.js');
  // parse args, call function
  await run<Name>(process.cwd(), options);
  return;
}

Add help text in the help section of cli-entry.ts (search for Commands:):

console.log(`  ${BOLD}<name>${RESET}     <description>`);
console.log(`             Usage: <name> [flags]`);

Verify both exist — the recurring bug is doing step 1 but missing steps 2-3.

Wiring Patterns by Command Type

Type	Example	How to wire
Standard command	`export.ts`, `build.ts`	`run*()` function, parse flags from `args`
Placeholder command	`loop`, `hire`	Inline in cli-entry.ts, prints pending message
Utility/check module	`rc-tunnel.ts`, `copilot-bridge.ts`	Wire as diagnostic check (e.g., `isDevtunnelAvailable()`)
Subcommand of another	`init-remote.ts`	Already used inside parent + standalone alias

Common Import Pattern

import { BOLD, RESET, DIM, RED, GREEN, YELLOW } from './cli/core/output.js';

Use dynamic await import() for command modules to keep startup fast (lazy loading).

History

#237 / PR #244: 4 commands wired (rc, copilot-bridge, init-remote, rc-tunnel). aspire, link, loop, hire were already present.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

cli-wiring is a skill published in the GitHub repository elbruno/ElBruno.MempalaceNet (11 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 481 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to cli-wiring, differing in 4 lines, and is treated as a copy.
