Does it support asynchronous command actions?

Absolutely. The skill requires the use of parseAsync() instead of the standard parse() method to ensure that all asynchronous errors are properly propagated and handled.

How does this skill handle user cancellation in the terminal?

The skill enforces the use of p.isCancel() checks after every prompt and explicitly handles SIGINT (Ctrl+C) signals to ensure the process exits cleanly using standardized exit codes.

What is the configuration precedence order?

It follows a strict hierarchy: command-line flags take top priority, followed by environment variables, project-specific config files, global user configs, and finally hardcoded defaults.

Can I build multi-level subcommands with this framework?

Yes, it provides specific patterns for organizing related commands under parent commands, allowing you to create complex, Git-like CLI structures.
