Does this skill support Node.js development?

No, this skill is specifically designed for the Bun runtime to take advantage of its performance and native TypeScript support.

What are the core coding conventions enforced?

It enforces the use of 'type' over 'interface', forbids 'any', requires barrel import avoidance, and promotes functional styles like map/filter over push.

How does this skill handle command line arguments?

It enforces the use of option-based arguments (e.g., --flag value) instead of positional arguments to ensure clarity and prevent parsing errors.

Why is the use of 'tsc' prohibited in this stack?

The stack mandates @typescript/native-preview (tsgo) for type checking to ensure faster execution and better compatibility with the Bun ecosystem.

Developer Tools

Standardizes high-performance CLI tool development using Bun, TypeScript, and the Citty framework with strict quality enforcement.

The Should-Be CLI Stack skill provides a comprehensive blueprint for building modern command-line tools, enforcing a high-performance tech stack centered around the Bun runtime. It ensures development consistency by mandating specific tools like Biome for linting, Citty for command handling, and Knip for dead-code detection. By enforcing strict coding patterns—such as functional programming styles, shebang-based standalone execution, and option-based argument parsing—this skill helps developers create robust, maintainable, and uniform CLI utilities that adhere to modern best practices.

Key Features

01Requires shebang-based execution and option-only argument parsing

02Mandates fail-fast error handling and functional programming patterns

03Implements strict TypeScript rules favoring types and banning any

041 GitHub stars

05Enforces Biome for unified, high-speed linting and formatting

06Standardizes development on Bun runtime and the Citty CLI framework

Use Cases

01Migrating legacy Node.js scripts to high-performance Bun-based CLI apps

02Bootstrapping new internal CLI utilities with a consistent modern stack

03Enforcing strict code quality and performance standards across tool suites
