add-cli-options

Guidance for defining reusable options for command-line commands with Click, a Python library for building command-line interfaces. Shared options can be applied across several commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add commands to the CLI and provide common options such as a `--verbose` flag.
Why use it?
It avoids copying the same option definitions into every command and keeps command behavior consistent.

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.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

add-cli-options 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Critical Patterns

Define Main Command

Use the main function to set up the entry point for your CLI application.

import click
from repoforge.cli import main

@main.command()
def my_command():
    click.echo("This is my command.")

Add Skills

Utilize the skills export to define reusable command options.

import click
from repoforge.cli import skills

@skills.option('--verbose', is_flag=True, help='Enable verbose output.')
def my_command(verbose):
    if verbose:
        click.echo("Verbose mode is on.")

When to Use

  • When creating a new command for the CLI.
  • To add common options across multiple commands.
  • To streamline the execution of default commands.

Commands

python repoforge/cli.py my_command

Anti-Patterns

Don't: Hardcode Options

Hardcoding options reduces flexibility and reusability across commands.

# BAD
@click.command()
@click.option('--option', default='value', help='Hardcoded option.')
def my_command(option):
    click.echo(option)

Quick Reference

Task Pattern
Define a command @main.command()
Add shared options @skills.option()

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.
