@skillit/cli
Extract CLI command structure from commander/yargs for AI agent skill generation
When to Use
Working with agent-skills, cli, commander, documentation, skill-generation, yargs
You have a Commander program and want structured option/argument extraction with full fidelity
Runtime introspection is unavailable (no access to the program object)
The CLI uses a framework other than Commander (yargs, oclif, custom)
You have both CLI surfaces (from introspection/help) and typed config interfaces (from TypeDoc)
You want JSDoc @useWhen/@avoidWhen/@never tags to appear on CLI options in the generated skill
You have a Commander program and want to generate a skill from its command structure
You have raw --help output and no runtime access to the program object
Avoid when:
Your CLI uses yargs, oclif, or another framework — use parseHelpOutput as a fallback instead
Your CLI is built with a framework other than Commander — use parseHelpOutput directly instead
API surface: 4 functions
NEVER
NEVER pass both program and helpTexts — program takes precedence and helpTexts is silently ignored
NEVER forget to pass configSurfaces when you have typed option interfaces — JSDoc metadata won't be correlated
Configuration
CliExtractionOptions (4 options — see references/config.md)
Quick Reference
Commander: introspectCommander
Fallback: parseHelpOutput
Correlation: correlateFlags
Extraction: extractCliSkill
