System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enforces a disciplined development approach where the Command Line Interface (CLI) is treated as the primary contract, ensuring that features are testable, debuggable, and agent-ready before any UI or API adapters are built.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces CLI-first Development: Guides agents to build features as commands first.
  • Defines Agent-Ready Contracts: Ensures CLIs have --help specs, --json output, and semantic exit codes.
  • Integrates Debugging & Profiling: Promotes using nooa debug and nooa profile as part of the development loop.
  • Use Case: When starting a new microservice, use this Skill to ensure the core logic is exposed via a robust CLI, making it easy for other agents or CI/CD pipelines to interact with and test it.

Quick Start

Follow the CLI-first development workflow, starting with writing the --help text for your new command.
