A checklist for connecting a new command to a command-line application. It covers creating the command, routing it from the main entry point, and adding help text.

Use it when adding commands to the Squad CLI. It helps verify the command file, argument handling, routing in the main entry file, and usage information are all present.

It prevents a common problem where a command’s code exists but the application never recognizes or documents it. The checklist also covers different command styles, including standard and placeholder commands.

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 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00192
Sonnet 5.5	$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 1mo 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.

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.
