CLI development

Package scripts

pnpm --filter cli dev --help
pnpm --filter cli build
pnpm --filter cli lint
pnpm --filter cli check-types

Source layout

apps/cli/
  src/index.ts
  package.json
  tsconfig.json
  eslint.config.js

src/index.ts creates a Commander Command, sets the CLI name and version, and registers subcommands.

Add a command

Add new commands in apps/cli/src/index.ts:

program
  .command("status")
  .description("Check memo.st CLI configuration.")
  .action(() => {
    console.log("memo.st CLI is configured.");
  });

Keep command handlers small. Move larger API clients, config loading, and file operations into separate modules before adding more workflows.

Release shape

The package bin points at ./dist/index.js, so the build step must run before the CLI is published or packed:

pnpm --filter cli build
