Build production-quality CLIs with language detection and a five-step approval-gated workflow. Use when wrapping an existing module or app. Don't use for GUI/TUI apps, web APIs, or one-off shell scripts.

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 Builder

Build production-quality CLI tools for any module or application, in any language.

Reference files (read each one on demand, not upfront, to keep the agent's context budget small):
- `references/cli-libraries.md` — read during Step 2 (Design) to recommend libraries and during Step 4 (Execute) for starter scaffolds
- `references/btop-style.md` — read during Step 2 (Design) to write the Visual style section and during Step 4 (Execute) to build the style module and its tests
- `references/testing-patterns.md` — read during Step 4 (Execute) when writing tests
- `references/final-report.md` — read during Step 5 (Summarize) to write the final report

## Repo Sync Before Edits (mandatory)

Run this section once, before Step 1, so the analysis reads the current code. If `git rev-parse --git-dir` fails, the directory is not a git repository: skip this section, the Branch-First Safety Rule, and the Step 4 commits, and list `no git repository: no branch or commits` under `Uncertainty:` in the final report.

In a git repository, sync the current branch with remote:

```bash
branch="$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)"
git fetch origin
git pull --rebase origin "$branch"
```
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add luongnv89/skills/cli-builder@sha256:0ec236dc4e2219e7

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.0, 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.
