Reviews a CLI tool's command interface for consistency in argument naming, flag conventions, help text, and README alignment. Use when building CLI tools or before releasing CLI updates. Triggers: "review CLI arguments", "align CLI conventions", "CLI consistency check", "make sure commands are aligned", "review command interface".

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 Consistency Review

Systematic review of a CLI tool's command interface to ensure consistent naming, conventions, and documentation alignment.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Inventory Commands

1. Run the CLI with `--help` or `-h` to get the top-level command list
2. For each subcommand, run `<cmd> <subcmd> --help` to get its full interface
3. Build an inventory table:

```
| Command       | Positional Args  | Flags              | Output Formats |
|---------------|------------------|--------------------|----------------|
| pull          | owner/repo       | --issues, --prs    | table, json    |
| search        | [query]          | --type, --limit    | fzf            |
| prune         | owner/repo       | --confirm, --dry-run| table         |
```

### Step 2: Convention Analysis

Check for consistency across all commands:

1. **Positional vs Flag arguments**:
   - Is the same concept (e.g., `owner/repo`) passed as positional in some commands and as `--repo` flag in others?
   - Recommendation: Pick one approach and apply everywhere

2. **Flag naming**:
   - Are similar concepts named consistently? (e.g., `--output` vs `--format` vs `-o`)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add jackchuka/skills/dev-cli-consistency-audit@sha256:ecc3fa5acf23305f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260604.0da3398, 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.
