Design the CLI interface for a feature during requirements creation, covering the command tree, commands, options, arguments, exit codes, output behavior, and example terminal sessions that demonstrate the intended experience. Use when a feature adds or changes CLI commands or options, when requirements mention a CLI, or when /create-requirements delegates its CLI surface.
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
# Create CLI Design Designs the command-line interface for a feature as a companion artifact to the requirements document, settling the commands, subcommands, options, arguments, exit codes, output behavior, help text, and example sessions before implementation begins. For a CLI, the interface is the product: the user experiences the feature entirely through command syntax, help text, output, and errors. This skill is the terminal counterpart of `/create-mockups`, which serves features with a graphical interface. Without this step, CLI work starts with no shared understanding of the command surface, so naming, flags, and output are improvised during implementation and reworked in review. ## Prerequisites - Apply the shared SDLC conventions in `skills/sdlc/references/shared.md`. - If no argument is provided, locate the feature directory under `.sdlc/features/` whose frontmatter `issue` field references `$ISSUE_NUMBER`. - `.sdlc/features/N-<slug>/requirements.md` (a draft is acceptable; this skill typically runs delegated from `/create-requirements`), or a feature brief provided in context or as a file path (`$1`) …

How to install
mdr add tomzx/agents/create-cli-design@sha256:7ba955a942c8723cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.b35fc4b, 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.
