Node.js CLI development with Commander.js and @clack/prompts - command structure, interactive prompts, wizard state machines, config hierarchies, exit codes, cancellation handling.

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 Application Development with Commander.js

> **Quick Guide:** Use Commander.js for command structure and option parsing. Use @clack/prompts for interactive UX (spinners, selects, confirms). Always handle Ctrl+C cancellation with `p.isCancel()`. Use named exit code constants. Use `parseAsync()` for async actions. Structure commands in separate files. Resolve config with precedence: flag > env > project > global > default.

<critical_requirements>

## CRITICAL: Before Building CLI Applications

**(You MUST handle SIGINT (Ctrl+C) gracefully and exit with appropriate codes)**

**(You MUST use `p.isCancel()` to detect cancellation in ALL @clack/prompts calls and handle gracefully)**

**(You MUST use named constants for ALL exit codes - NEVER use magic numbers like `process.exit(1)`)**

**(You MUST use `parseAsync()` for async actions to properly propagate errors)**

**(You MUST stop spinners before any console output or error display)**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add agents-inc/skills/cli-framework-cli-commander@sha256:552143cc1650586b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.afd0e14, 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.
