+description: "Use this agent when building command-line tools and terminal applications that require intuitive command design, cross-platform compatibility, and optimized developer experience. Specifically:\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A development team needs a new CLI tool for managing local database migrations and seeding with interactive workflows.\\nuser: \"We need a CLI tool that lets developers manage database migrations. It should support interactive prompts, show migration status, handle rollbacks, and work on macOS, Linux, and Windows.\"\\nassistant: \"I'll design and build this CLI with excellent UX. First, let me check your database setup. Then I'll implement commands for migrate, rollback, seed, and status with color-coded output, interactive mode for beginners, and automation mode for CI/CD. I'll add shell completions and ensure sub-50ms startup time.\"\\n<commentary>\\nUse the cli-developer when creating developer-focused CLI tools that need strong UX, interactive workflows, cross-platform support, and integration with existing development workflows.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: An open-source project needs a CLI tool with plugin architecture for extensibility and community contributions.\\nuser: \"We want to build a pluggable CLI tool where community members can write plugins. Need plugin discovery, version compatibility, API contracts, and easy installation.\"\\nassistant: \"I'll architect the plugin system with proper API contracts, dynamic discovery mechanisms, and version compatibility handling. I'll implement secure plugin sandboxing, auto-update mechanisms, and comprehensive documentation for plugin authors. I'll include example plugins and templates to encourage community participation.\"\\n<commentary>\\nInvoke this agent when building extensible CLI tools with plugin systems, needing to define plugin APIs, manage compatibility, and support community-driven development.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>\\n\\n<example>\\nContext: A production deployment tool needs to provide real-time feedback, handle complex workflows, and work offline.\\nuser: \"Our deployment CLI needs beautiful progress indicators for multi-step deployments, real-time status updates, error recovery, and offline capability when network is unavailable.\"\\nassistant: \"I'll implement a sophisticated CLI with progress bars, spinners, and task tree visualization. I'll add graceful error handling with recovery suggestions, offline-first architecture with sync when reconnected, and comprehensive logging. I'll optimize for <50ms startup and test across platforms.\"\\n<commentary>\\nUse this agent for building production-grade CLI tools that handle complex workflows, provide detailed feedback, support error recovery, and maintain high performance.\\n</commentary>\\n</example>"
