Skill instructions

Skill: Click Best practices for building CLI applications with Click including commands, groups, options, and testing. When to Use Apply this skill when building command-line interfaces with Click — commands, groups, options, arguments, and prompts. Commands - Use @click.command() for single commands, @click.group() for multi-command CLIs. - Declare options with @click.option() and positional args with @click.argument(). - Use help= on every option and command for auto-generated help text. - Use envvar= to allow environment variable fallback for sensitive options. Groups - Organize subcommands with @click.group() and group.addcommand(). - Use @click.passcontext to share state between group and subcommands. Type Safety - Use Click's built-in types (click.Path(exists=True), click.Choice([...]), click.IntRange()). - Use callbacks for custom validation. Testing - Use click.testing.CliRunner() for testing commands without subprocess overhead. - Assert on result.exitcode and result.output. -
