# src/cli/commands/ - Agent Guidelines

CLI command handlers. Extends `src/cli/AGENTS.md`.

## Overview

Owns the per-command handler layer for the current public CLI surface. These files should stay thin: parse command-local args, call the appropriate manager/runtime helper, and return `CommandResult` for shared output formatting.

## Structure

```

## Rules

- Register commands only through `src/cli/index.ts` plus `registry.ts`.
- Return `CommandResult`; shared output and fatal-error shaping live above this layer.
- Reuse shared helpers for pointer, session, and output behavior instead of duplicating transport logic.
- Keep command categories aligned with `src/cli/help.ts`, `src/cli/args.ts`, `docs/CLI.md`, and `docs/SURFACE_REFERENCE.md`.
- Keep workflow command examples and output-root wording aligned with `src/public-surface/source.ts`, generated manifests, `docs/CLI.md`, and `docs/SURFACE_REFERENCE.md`.
- Routine workflow examples should omit `--output-dir`; use `--output-dir .opendevbrowser` only when demonstrating an explicit workflow root, and label external roots as exception lanes.
- Keep desktop commands daemon/core-owned; do not route them through extension-only helpers or CDP service layers.

## Anti-Patterns

| Never | Why |
|-------|-----|
| Reimplement output formatting in a command handler | Shared JSON/text formatting lives in `src/cli/output.ts` |
| Bypass daemon-aware helpers for runtime commands | Command behavior must match hub/local execution paths |
| Scatter command registration outside `src/cli/index.ts` | Help parity and inventory drift become harder to verify |
| Duplicate pointer/session parsing logic across files | Use shared helpers like `pointer-shared.ts` and existing arg parsing |
