🚨 EXECUTION NOTICE FOR CLAUDE

When you invoke this command via SlashCommand, the system returns THESE INSTRUCTIONS below.

YOU are the executor. This is NOT an autonomous subprocess.

• ✅ The phases below are YOUR execution checklist
• ✅ YOU must run each phase immediately using tools (Bash, Read, Write, Edit, TodoWrite)
• ✅ Complete ALL phases before considering this command done
• ❌ DON't wait for "the command to complete" - YOU complete it by executing the phases
• ❌ DON't treat this as status output - it IS your instruction set

Immediately after SlashCommand returns, start executing Phase 0, then Phase 1, etc.

See @CLAUDE.md section "SlashCommand Execution - YOU Are The Executor" for detailed explanation.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Goal: Orchestrate adding argument parsing features to CLI tool, launching parallel agents for 3+ parsing features.

Architectural Context:

This command is an orchestrator that:

• Detects the CLI framework
• Gathers requirements
• Launches 1 agent for 1-2 parsing features
• Launches MULTIPLE agents IN PARALLEL for 3+ parsing features (all in ONE message)

Phase 1: Load Architectural Framework Goal: Understand composition and parallelization patterns

Actions:

• Load component decision framework: !{Read ~/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/domain-plugin-builder/plugins/domain-plugin-builder/docs/frameworks/claude/reference/component-decision-framework.md}
• Key patterns:
  • Commands orchestrate, agents implement
  • For 3+ items: Launch multiple agents in PARALLEL
  • Send ALL Task() calls in SINGLE message
  • Agents run concurrently for faster execution

Phase 2: Parse Arguments & Determine Mode Goal: Count how many parsing features to implement

Actions:

• Parse $ARGUMENTS to extract parsing features: !{bash echo "$ARGUMENTS" | wc -w}
• Store count
• Extract each parsing feature:
  • If count = 0: Ask user for feature preferences
  • If count = 1: Single feature mode
  • If count = 2: Two features mode
  • If count >= 3: PARALLEL MODE - multiple agents

Phase 3: Detect Existing CLI Framework Goal: Identify the framework to match patterns

Actions:

• Check for language indicators:
  • !{bash ls -1 package.json setup.py pyproject.toml go.mod Cargo.toml 2>/dev/null | head -1}
• For Node.js (package.json found):
  • !{bash grep -E '"(commander|yargs|oclif|gluegun)"' package.json 2>/dev/null | head -1}
• For Python files:
  • !{bash grep -r "import click|import typer|import argparse|import fire" . --include="*.py" 2>/dev/null | head -1}
• For Go:
  • !{bash grep -r "github.com/spf13/cobra|github.com/urfave/cli" . --include="*.go" 2>/dev/null | head -1}
• For Rust:
  • !{bash grep "clap" Cargo.toml 2>/dev/null}
• Store detected framework

Phase 4: Gather Requirements (for all parsing features) Goal: Collect specifications

Actions:

• If no features in $ARGUMENTS:
  • Ask user via AskUserQuestion:
    • Which parsing features? (positional-args, flags, options, type-coercion, validators, mutually-exclusive, environment-vars)
    • Type validation needed? (string, int, float, file, url, email, enum)
    • Advanced features? (subcommands, variadic args, dependent options)
    • Help generation preferences?
• For EACH feature from Phase 2:
  • Store feature type
  • Determine validation requirements
  • Plan integration approach

Phase 5: Launch Agent(s) for Implementation Goal: Delegate to cli-feature-impl agent(s)

Actions:

Decision: 1-2 features = single/sequential agents, 3+ features = PARALLEL agents

For 1-2 Parsing Features:

Task( description="Add argument parsing to CLI", subagent_type="cli-tool-builder:cli-feature-impl", prompt="You are cli-feature-impl. Add comprehensive argument parsing to the CLI.

Framework: {detected_framework} Language: {detected_language}

Parsing Features: {features} Requirements:

• Positional arguments: {yes/no}
• Options/Flags: {short/long forms}
• Type coercion: {types (string, int, float, file, url, email, enum)}
• Validators: {validation_requirements}
• Advanced features: {mutually-exclusive, dependent-options, variadic, env-vars}
• Help generation: {auto-generate with examples}

Use Skill(cli-tool-builder:{framework}-patterns) for patterns. Generate argument parsing code, validators, help text.

Deliverable: Working argument parsing integrated into CLI" )

For 3+ Parsing Features - CRITICAL: Send ALL Task() calls in ONE MESSAGE:

Task(description="Add parsing feature 1", subagent_type="cli-tool-builder:cli-feature-impl", prompt="Add argument parsing feature '{feature_1}'. Framework: {framework} Language: {language} Feature type: {feature_1} Validation: {validation_1} Use Skill(cli-tool-builder:{framework}-patterns). Deliverable: Argument parsing code for {feature_1}")

Task(description="Add parsing feature 2", subagent_type="cli-tool-builder:cli-feature-impl", prompt="Add argument parsing feature '{feature_2}'. Framework: {framework} Language: {language} Feature type: {feature_2} Validation: {validation_2} Use Skill(cli-tool-builder:{framework}-patterns). Deliverable: Argument parsing code for {feature_2}")

Task(description="Add parsing feature 3", subagent_type="cli-tool-builder:cli-feature-impl", prompt="Add argument parsing feature '{feature_3}'. Framework: {framework} Language: {language} Feature type: {feature_3} Validation: {validation_3} Use Skill(cli-tool-builder:{framework}-patterns). Deliverable: Argument parsing code for {feature_3}")

[Continue for all N parsing features...]

DO NOT wait between Task() calls - send them ALL at once!

Agents run in parallel. Proceed to Phase 6 only after ALL complete.

Phase 6: Verification Goal: Confirm all parsing features were added

Actions:

• For each parsing feature:
  • Verify parsing code was generated
  • Check syntax if possible
  • Test with valid arguments
  • Test validation with invalid inputs
• Verify mutually exclusive options work (if applicable)
• Test environment variable fallbacks (if added)
• Test help generation
• Report any failures

Phase 7: Summary Goal: Report results and next steps

Actions:

• Display summary:
  • Parsing features added: {count}
  • Framework: {framework}
  • Files modified/created
  • Validators included
  • Advanced features enabled
• Show usage examples:
  • Positional arguments
  • Options and flags
  • Type validation
  • Help command output
• Suggest next steps:
  • Add more validators
  • Implement command aliases
  • Add bash/zsh completion
  • Document all arguments in README
