CLI code review — exit codes, cancellation and signals, non-TTY behaviour, the stdout/stderr split, error text, config precedence, subprocess safety and test adequacy. Load when reviewing a command-line tool's commands, entry point, prompts, output or tests, whichever parser or prompt library it uses.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# CLI Review Patterns > **Quick Guide:** A CLI's contract is its exit code, its two output streams and what it does without a terminal — scripts and CI branch on those and never read the wording. Review every terminating path for the code it produces, every prompt for its cancel path and its non-interactive twin, and every write for the stream it lands on. Three Node facts decide verdicts: `process.exit()` abandons writes still pending to a pipe, so piped output arrives truncated; installing a `SIGINT` listener removes Node's default exit with 130; and while a prompt holds the terminal in raw mode, Ctrl+C is a keypress rather than a signal. **Detailed Resources:** - [examples/core.md](examples/core.md) — before-and-after code for each pattern, a spawned contract test, and a worked review - [reference.md](reference.md) — review checklists by area, exit-code conventions, the shapes a prompt cancel takes --- <critical_requirements> ## Before reviewing CLI code …

How to install
mdr add agents-inc/skills/meta-reviewing-cli-reviewing@sha256:40ef19643fde6c92The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.63d2b02, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
