# CLI Implementation Plan Summary ## Important Testing and Execution Instructions ### Testing Requirements (ALL PHASES) - **Use pytest CLI directly**: `pytest tests/cmd/test_*.py -v > test_output.log 2>&1` - **DO NOT use VS Code integrated test terminal** (it may hang) - **Always save output to log files** and inspect them afterward - **Example**: `pytest tests/cmd/test_cli_structure.py -v > test_output.log 2>&1` ### CLI Execution Requirements (ALL PHASES) - **Use `uv run` to execute CLI**: `uv run gnmibuddy.py --help > cli_output.log 2>&1` - **Always save output to log files** and inspect them afterward - **Never rely on terminal output directly** (it may get cut off) - **Example**: `uv run gnmibuddy.py device info --device R1 > command_test.log 2>&1` ### Verification Process 1. Run tests and save to log: `pytest tests/cmd/ -v > test_results.log 2>&1` 2. Test CLI functionality: `uv run gnmibuddy.py --help > cli_help.log 2>&1` 3. Inspect log files to verify everything works correctly 4. Check for errors or unexpected output in the log files ## Quick Reference Guide ### Phase 1: Foundation and Command Structure Refactoring **Goal:** Transform flat CLI to hierarchical structure with command groups **Key Tasks:** - Enhance BaseCommand class with `group` and `aliases` attributes - Group commands: device, network, topology, ops, manage - Ensure kebab-case naming convention - Create CLI structure tests **LLM Agent Prompt:** Copy from CLI_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md "Phase 1 Agent Prompt" ### Phase 2: Help System Enhancement and User Experience **Goal:** Create intuitive help system with progressive disclosure **Key Tasks:** - Implement grouped help display - Remove banner from subcommand help - Add usage examples to all commands - Implement command aliases (d, n, t, o, m) - Create "Did you mean?" error handling **LLM Agent Prompt:** Copy from CLI_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md "Phase 2 Agent Prompt" ### Phase 3: Testing Infrastructure for CLI Design Compliance **Goal:** Ensure CLI follows design patterns and maintains quality **Key Tasks:** - Create CLI design compliance tests - Implement help system consistency tests - Add command structure validation - Enforce naming conventions through tests - Create future-proofing tests **LLM Agent Prompt:** Copy from CLI_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md "Phase 3 Agent Prompt" ### Phase 4: Advanced Features and Final Polish **Goal:** Add modern CLI capabilities and final polish **Key Tasks:** - Implement output formatting (json, table, yaml) - Add enhanced version information - Create shell completion scripts - Add batch operations support - Final optimization and polish **LLM Agent Prompt:** Copy from CLI_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md "Phase 4 Agent Prompt" ## Command Structure Transformation ### Current Structure (Flat) ``` gnmibuddy routing --device R1 gnmibuddy interface --device R1 gnmibuddy deviceprofile --device R1 gnmibuddy topology-neighbors --device R1 ``` ### Target Structure (Hierarchical) ``` gnmibuddy device info --device R1 gnmibuddy device profile --device R1 gnmibuddy device list gnmibuddy network routing --device R1 gnmibuddy network interface --device R1 gnmibuddy topology neighbors --device R1 gnmibuddy ops logs --device R1 gnmibuddy manage log-level show ``` ## Testing Strategy ### CLI Design Compliance Tests - **Structure Tests:** Verify command hierarchy and registration - **Naming Tests:** Enforce kebab-case and consistent patterns - **Help Tests:** Verify help output format and examples - **UX Tests:** Test error messages and aliases - **Regression Tests:** Ensure backward compatibility ### Key Test Files to Create - `tests/cmd/test_cli_design_compliance.py` - `tests/cmd/test_help_consistency.py` - `tests/cmd/test_command_structure.py` - `tests/cmd/test_naming_conventions.py` - `tests/cmd/test_cli_best_practices.py` ## Success Metrics ### Phase 1 Success - [ ] BaseCommand supports groups and aliases - [ ] All commands properly grouped - [ ] Consistent kebab-case naming - [ ] Backward compatibility maintained - [ ] CLI structure tests pass ### Phase 2 Success - [ ] Grouped help display - [ ] Banner only on main help - [ ] Usage examples on all commands - [ ] Command aliases work - [ ] "Did you mean?" error handling ### Phase 3 Success - [ ] Design compliance tests pass - [ ] Help system consistency verified - [ ] Naming conventions enforced - [ ] Future command validation automated - [ ] Test coverage comprehensive ### Phase 4 Success - [ ] Multiple output formats work - [ ] Version information comprehensive - [ ] Shell completion functional - [ ] Batch operations efficient - [ ] All features integrated ## Quick Start Instructions 1. **Phase 1:** Copy Phase 1 Agent Prompt and run with LLM - Test with: `pytest tests/cmd/test_cli_structure.py -v > test_output.log 2>&1` - Verify with: `uv run gnmibuddy.py --help > cli_output.log 2>&1` 2. **Phase 2:** After Phase 1 completion, copy Phase 2 Agent Prompt - Test with: `pytest tests/cmd/test_help_system.py -v > test_output.log 2>&1` - Verify with: `uv run gnmibuddy.py device --help > device_help.log 2>&1` 3. **Phase 3:** After Phase 2 completion, copy Phase 3 Agent Prompt - Test with: `pytest tests/cmd/ -v > test_output.log 2>&1` - Verify with: `uv run gnmibuddy.py --help > final_check.log 2>&1` 4. **Phase 4:** After Phase 3 completion, copy Phase 4 Agent Prompt - Test with: `pytest tests/cmd/test_advanced_features.py -v > test_output.log 2>&1` - Verify with: `uv run gnmibuddy.py --version > version_check.log 2>&1` **Remember**: Always inspect the log files to verify everything works correctly!## Key Files to Monitor ### Core Files - `src/cmd/base.py` - BaseCommand class - `src/cmd/commands.py` - Command implementations - `src/cmd/parser.py` - CLI parser - `src/cmd/display.py` - Help system ### Test Files - `tests/cmd/test_cli_structure.py` - Structure tests - `tests/cmd/test_help_system.py` - Help system tests - `tests/cmd/test_cli_design_compliance.py` - Design compliance - `tests/cmd/conftest.py` - Test fixtures ### Advanced Features - `src/cmd/formatters.py` - Output formatting - `src/cmd/error_handler.py` - Error handling - `completions/` - Shell completion scripts ## Important Notes 1. **Backward Compatibility:** All existing command syntax must continue to work 2. **Test-Driven:** Each phase includes comprehensive tests 3. **Progressive:** Each phase builds on the previous one 4. **User-Focused:** Emphasis on intuitive user experience 5. **Future-Proof:** Tests ensure design quality is maintained as code evolves For detailed implementation instructions, refer to the full CLI_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md file.
