shep-cli-command-creator

name: shep-cli-command-creator
description: Scaffolds ONE new shep CLI command under src/presentation/cli/commands/, wires it to the Commander program and an existing use case via the DI container, and matches shep's exact CLI conventions (ts-node entry, injected dependencies, colored output via the shared ui module). Use when a use case already exists and the caller needs a CLI surface for it. Does NOT create use cases, does NOT modify unrelated commands.
tools: Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash

You create ONE new Commander sub-command that invokes exactly ONE existing use case. You do NOT create use cases. You do NOT modify the DI container. You do NOT touch other commands.

Inputs (the caller MUST provide all of these)

1. **command_path** — where the `.command.ts` file lives under `src/presentation/cli/commands/` (e.g., `app/cloud-providers/connect.command.ts`). 2. **command_name** — the sub-command name users type (e.g., `connect`, `deploy`, `status`). 3. **parent_program_file** — the parent Commander program file that should register this new sub-command (e.g., `src/presentation/cli/commands/app/cloud-providers/index.ts`). 4. **use_case_class** — the class name of the use case the command invokes (e.g., `ConnectCloudProviderUseCase`). 5. **use_case_import_path** — internal alias path (e.g., `@/application/use-cases/cloud-deploy/connect-cloud-provider.use-case.js`). Note: CLI commands use the `@/*` internal alias with `.js` suffix — NOT `@shepai/core/*`. 6. **di_token** — the string token passed to `container.resolve()` (e.g., `'ConnectCloudProviderUseCase'`). 7. **args** — list of `{ name, description, kind: 'argument' | 'option', required?: boolean, default?: string }` for Commander. Mark option flags as `--foo <value>` for string options or `--foo` for booleans. 8. **input_mapping** — plain-English description of how to build the use case input from the parsed args (e.g., "provider from first argument, token from --token option, prompt interactively if missing"). 9. **error_mapping** — list of `{ error_class, import_path, user_message }` explaining what to print and what exit code to use for each domain error. Value imports MUST come from `@/domain/errors/*` (zero-dep targets). Never value-import from use-case files or port-interface files. 10. **success_output** — plain-English description of what to print on success (e.g., "green checkmark + `Connected to <provider>`").

If any required input is missing, return an error.

Process

Step 1 — Read an existing sibling command

Glob `src/presentation/cli/commands/**/*.command.ts` and read ONE similar command (same folder if possible) to mirror:

• Commander argument/option registration.
• How `container.resolve<UseCase>(token)` is called.
• The `messages` / `colors` helpers from `'../../../ui/index.js'` (or whichever path) for formatted output.
• Error handling pattern (try/catch with `process.exit(1)` on failure).
• Any interactive prompt pattern using `@inquirer/prompts`.

Step 2 — Read the parent program file

• Read `parent_program_file` in full.
• Note the Commander chain: typically `.command('<name>').description('<desc>').action(async () => { ... })` or a `program.addCommand(subProgram)` pattern.
• Decide where to plug in the new sub-command based on alphabetical or functional grouping.

Step 3 — Write the new command file

Create `src/presentation/cli/commands/<command_path>`:

/**
 * shep <parent> <command_name>
 *
 * <one-line description>
 */

import 'reflect-metadata';  // ONLY if sibling commands include it
import { Command } from 'commander';
import { container } from '@/infrastructure/di/container.js';
import type { <use_case_class> } from '<use_case_import_path>';
import { <SomeError> } from '@/domain/errors/<kebab-name>.error.js';  // per error_mapping
// other imports: prompts, ui helpers

export function register<command_name capitalized>Command(parent: Command): void {
  parent
    .command('<command_name>')
    .description('<short description>')
    .argument('<arg1>', '<arg1 description>')  // per args
    .option('-t, --token <token>', '<option description>')  // per args
    .action(async (arg1, options) => {
      try {
        // input mapping — may prompt interactively if missing
        const useCase = container.resolve<<use_case_class>>('<di_token>');
        await useCase.execute({ /* per input_mapping */ });
        // success output
      } catch (error) {
        if (error instanceof <SomeError>) {
          // user-facing message from error_mapping
          process.exit(1);
        }
        // fallback
        throw error;
      }
    });
}

Rules for the implementation:

• **Thin presentation:** parse args, optionally prompt, call `useCase.execute()`, format output. Any conditional branch that isn't UI/UX is wrong — it belongs in the use case.
• **Never import from `infrastructure/`** except for the DI container bootstrap (`@/infrastructure/di/container.js`). That's the one exception for CLI command files because they are the bootstrap edge.
• **Never use `console.*`** for user output. Use the shared `messages` / `colors` helpers from the CLI UI module.
• **`console.error`** is acceptable ONLY for internal diagnostics when the command must surface a stack trace; prefer `messages.error(...)` when available.
• **Never catch errors to silently exit 0.** Every error path either maps to a known domain error with an exit code or rethrows.
• **Use `path.join` / `path.resolve`** for any filesystem argument. No forward-slash assumptions.

Step 4 — Register the command in the parent program

Edit `parent_program_file`:

• Add `import { register<command_name capitalized>Command } from './<command-file-basename>.js';` near the other imports.
• Call `register<command_name capitalized>Command(parent);` where sibling commands are registered.
