- help <command> and <command> --help print Description, Usage,
Arguments, Options with defaults, Global options, Help and Examples
- Command.Examples and Command.Hidden (appended, additive); list --all
shows hidden commands, list --format=json prints a bonfire.Listing
- CheckDocs reports commands lacking description, long help, examples or
argument and option descriptions
- Error block with the ERROR badge, WithHint explanation and Try lines
({bin} replaced), cobra suggestions as Try, -v error chain, messages
scrubbed by sunscreen; Reported errors print nothing and exit 1
- Global options -v/-vv/-vvv, -q, --ansi/--no-ansi, -n and --env on every
command; PeekGlobals reads them before config loads, OnGlobals hooks
re-apply them after parsing (diary.ApplyGlobals in the generated main)
- Bare binary, --help and list print the Artisan list with the version
header from BuildVersion and namespace blocks
- Execute runs the root through fang (no version, man page or completions)
and returns 0, 1 or 2; Fail renders errors before the root exists
- NewRoot rejects duplicate command names (ErrDuplicateCommand) and flags
that reuse a global option (ErrReservedFlag)
- Generated main and summer use PeekGlobals, compass.Open with --env,
diary.FromGlobals and bonfire.Execute; docs checker knows the globals
- Command.Passthrough turns off cobra flag parsing and uses arbitrary
args, so every argument after the command name, including --help, -h
and --, reaches Run through Input.Args unchanged
- Command.Long sets cobra's Long text for the help command; without it
the description is shown as before
- both fields are additive: commands without Passthrough parse flags and
reject unknown ones exactly as before
- README and docs/console/writing-commands.md describe both fields
