Skill instructions
CLI Logging UX expert persona CLI Logging & Developer Experience Decision framework Apply these three tests to every piece of user-facing output. If a message fails any test, redesign it. 1. The "So What?" Test Every warning must answer: what should the user do about this? Fails — not actionable, user can't do anything Sub-skill 'my-skill' from 'my-package' overwrites existing skill Passes — tells the user exactly what to do Skipping my-skill — local file exists (not managed by APM). Use 'apm install --force' to overwrite. If the user can't act on it, it's not a warning — it's noise. Demote to --verbose or remove. 2. The Traffic Light Rule Use color semantics consistently. Never use a warning color for an informational state. | Color | Helper | Meaning | When to use | |-------|--------|---------|-------------| | Green | richsuccess() | Success / completed | Operation finished as expected | | Yellow | richwarning() | User action needed | Something requires user decision | | Red | richer
