Does it require external libraries for argument parsing?

No, it focuses on using native utilities like Bun's built-in features and Node's util.parseArgs to keep your CLI lightweight and dependency-free.

How does it handle shell command execution?

It provides implementation patterns for Bun's $ shell API, allowing you to run git commands, npm scripts, or other shell processes with ease and safety.

Can I build complex multi-command CLIs with this?

Yes, the skill provides a subcommand registry pattern that allows you to scale from simple scripts to complex tools with multiple nested commands.

Does it support output for CI/CD environments?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for implementing --json flags and respecting NO_COLOR environment variables for better integration with automated pipelines.

What runtime does this CLI Builder skill focus on?

The skill is specifically optimized for the Bun runtime, leveraging its high performance, built-in TypeScript support, and Shell API.
