Survey of 10 mainstream CLIs (gh, lark, stripe, vercel, supabase, aws,
azure, gcloud, openai/codex, github-copilot-cli) showed env-gated
per-command --help blurbs are a Stripe-only pattern; gh uses env detect
for telemetry only, and lark relies on installed agent Skills + MCP.
Our cmd/mcp/serve already covers the dominant 2025/26 path, so
internal/aiclient/ (136 LOC + 38 callsites) is net maintenance burden
without precedent.
- Drop internal/aiclient/ entirely (annotations + detect + tests)
- Remove 38 SetAgentHelp callsites + agentAwareHelpFunc / SetHelpFunc
wiring in cmd/root.go
- Migrate 4 command-level rules to standard Long help (visible to all,
not env-gated): doc upload mode mutex, kb edit at-least-one,
kb pin idempotent, search chunks channel mutex
- Rewrite AGENTS.md as a developer guide (gh-style 6 H2 / 167 lines):
audience preamble + Build / Architecture / Command Structure /
Testing / Code Style / Error Handling. Drops sections absent in
surveyed projects (Commit & PR Conventions, Who Uses This CLI)
- Clean 14 internal doc refs (ADR-N, spec §X, v0.X) in source comments
and docs that pointed at docs/superpowers/ — that directory is
local-only / uncommitted, so refs are dead for outside readers
- Drop forward-looking "once v0.2 ships" from README
Removes the entire envelope machinery now that every success path
emits bare JSON:
- cli/internal/format/envelope.go (Envelope, Success, Failure,
SuccessWithRisk, WriteEnvelope, Meta, Notice, UpdateNotice,
VersionSkewNotice, Risk, RiskLevel, ErrorBody) + tests.
- cli/internal/format/filter.go envelope-specific helpers
(WriteEnvelopeFiltered, marshalEnvelope, applyFieldFilter,
filterDataPayload, filterObjectData); the reusable
filterArrayItems / filterObjectKeys / writeJQ stay for bare.go.
- cli/internal/cmdutil/exporter.go + tests (envelope-only).
- cli/internal/cmdutil/PrintErrorEnvelope + ToErrorBody +
operationRiskOf + Error.OperationRisk field + OperationRisk struct.
Error path: all errors now go to stderr via cmdutil.PrintError in
`code: message\nhint: ...` form, regardless of --json. Stdout stays
empty (or holds the partial-success the command already wrote) so
downstream `--json | jq` pipelines never have to filter error shapes
out of the success stream. Typed exit codes (3 auth.* / 4
resource.not_found / 5 input.* / 6 server.rate_limited / 7 server.*
+ network.* / 10 input.confirmation_required) carry the failure
class for agents that branch on it.
Acceptance contract:
- envelope_test.go → wire_test.go (TestEnvelopeGolden → TestWireGolden).
- testdata/envelopes/ → testdata/wire/.
- Error-path cases assert the typed code substring on stderr.
- Orphan whoami.*.json goldens deleted.
AGENTS.md + README.md rewritten for the bare-data contract:
- Drop envelope schema section + dry-run rule.
- Document bare JSON on stdout + `code: msg\nhint: …` on stderr.
- ADR-3 reframed around bare data and why error separation matters
for `--json | jq` pipelines.
WriteJSONFiltered short-circuits to WriteJSON when both filters are
empty (skip the marshal-buffer round-trip for the common case).
Final review pass:
- Fix wire-contract bug: `--json id,name` (space form) is broken by
pflag's NoOptDefVal; AGENTS.md / README.md / SetAgentHelp + the
field-discovery help text all switched to `--json=id,name`.
- Fix `weknora api --jq` silently ignored: api.go now routes through
WriteJSONFiltered with jopts.JQ.
- AGENTS.md: drop the false claim that `auth logout` honors `-y`
(logout is local-only with no ConfirmDestructive guard); list the
actual destructive commands instead.
- Rewrite cli/acceptance/e2e/e2e_test.go for the bare-data wire shape
(was still parsing `out["data"]` / `env["ok"]`).
- Add `JSONOptions.Emit(w, v)` helper; collapse ~33 repeated
`format.WriteJSONFiltered(iostreams.IO.Out, X, jopts.Fields,
jopts.JQ)` sites to `jopts.Emit(iostreams.IO.Out, X)` — drops the
format import from 22 cmd/* files.
- Delete single-caller `cmdutil.MustRequireFlag`; inline as
`_ = cmd.MarkFlagRequired(...)` everywhere.
- Add `_ = cmd.MarkFlagRequired("name")` to `kb create`; it was the
only write command relying on runtime --name validation while
`context add` already used the cobra-level mark.
- `context use`: register `--json` / `--jq` (was always emitting JSON
unconditionally with no human path and no flag — diverged from
every other write command); human mode now prints
`✓ Switched context to X (was Y)`.
- Replace per-package `confirmPrompter` / `scriptedConfirm` /
`errPrompter` test doubles with `testutil.ConfirmPrompter`.
- Rename `chatService` → `ChatService` (export to match siblings
`ListService` / `ViewService`); rename `printUploadSuccess` →
`renderUploadSuccess` (siblings use `render*`).
- `defaultHint(CodeResourceNotFound)`: drop the hardcoded
"list available with `weknora kb list`" — misleading on agent /
doc / session 404. Replaced with "verify the resource ID and try
again".
- Strip stale `v0.2/v0.3` / "envelope" / "v0.0/v0.1 supports only"
historical tags from production comments and a few test
descriptions.
Two intertwined mainstream-alignment moves bundled because they share
the migration target (every command's --json path):
1. Drop --dry-run entirely. Survey of comparable API-wrapper CLIs
(gh, aws, stripe, lark): none expose --dry-run. The mainstream that
does (kubectl/git/helm/ansible) operates on declarative manifests
or local state where the preview is materially different from the
executed action. WeKnora's CLI just echoed the same parameters
that would have gone on the wire — the preview added no real
signal over `--help` + reading the call site. Removes:
- root --dry-run persistent flag + cmdutil/dryrun.go
- DryRun fields + EmitDryRun calls in 12 write commands
- format.Envelope.DryRun field
- 8 corresponding *_test.go cases
- --dry-run mention from README.md and CHANGELOG.md
- "dry_run":false from 16 golden envelopes
2. Migrate every --json output to bare data:
- New format.WriteJSON / WriteJSONFiltered helpers
(cli/internal/format/bare.go) share filterArrayItems /
filterObjectKeys / writeJQ with the (still-live for now) envelope
filter helpers.
- Read commands (kb/doc/session list+view, search chunks/docs/
sessions/kb, auth list/status, agent list/view, context list,
doctor) emit bare arrays / objects on stdout.
- Write commands (kb create/edit/delete/pin/empty, doc upload/
upload_recursive/delete, session delete, auth login/logout/
refresh/token, link/unlink, context add/use/remove, agent
invoke, chat, api, version) emit bare result objects. Risk
classification dropped — the resource + exit code already
convey the action.
Per-command shape changes:
list / search → []T (was {ok, data:{items:[…]}})
view → T (was {ok, data:T, _meta:…})
create / edit → T
delete / pin / etc. → {id, …action result…}
doctor → {summary, checks}
api → {status, headers, body}
_meta dropped on the read path:
pagination (page/page_size/total/has_more) — agents iterate with
--all-pages or accept --limit (gh CLI parity);
kb_id / context echo — caller already knows what it asked for.
Acceptance contract goldens regenerated for the new bare shape.
Error envelope on stdout (PrintErrorEnvelope) stays live for now —
the envelope-infra deletion lands in the next commit.
Cross-cutting cleanup that lands alongside the new feature surface:
- `--limit / -L` and `--all-pages` on every list command. Default
--limit 30 (gh-parity); --all-pages drains every server page
client-side, capped by --limit. Closes the audit finding that the
old "1000 max per call" implicit cap was undiscoverable.
- `auth token` emits a TTY-only stderr advisory when stdout is a
terminal (the credential just got displayed in scrollback) plus an
api-key-mode rotation hint.
- Comment + doc discipline pass: drop external project name
references from in-code comments (we reference them in design notes,
not inline).
- Bump `go` directive to 1.26.0 and CI matrix to 1.26.x to align with
the main module's go.mod.
- Rename `cli/internal/agent` → `cli/internal/aiclient` to
disambiguate from the new `cli/cmd/agent` resource subtree. The
package handles AI coding-agent env detection + per-command --help
annotations; the new name reflects that more precisely.
`weknora mcp serve` — long-lived stdio MCP (Model Context Protocol)
transport that exposes a fixed, curated tool surface to MCP-aware
agents (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, custom MCP clients).
Curated tool set (readonly by default):
- whoami — active context + tenant
- search (hybrid retrieval against a KB)
- kb list / view
- doc list / view
- agent list / view / invoke
- session list / view
The list is intentionally narrow to the read + agent-invoke surface;
destructive verbs (`delete` / `empty` / `upload`) are gated behind
`--write`. Schema is built from each leaf cobra command's flags so
adding a new tool is a single registry entry plus a Service interface.
Includes the simplify post-review polish + a second simplify pass to
fold the resulting feedback (typed schemas, agent_help wording, unify
chat / agent invoke option names).
Manages WeKnora's first-class Custom Agent resources — server-side
records (system prompt + model + allowed tools + KB scope) that the
user authored in the web UI.
Commands:
- `weknora agent list` — tenant-visible agents (built-in + custom),
sorted updated_at desc; `--limit`/`-L` caps the slice client-side.
- `weknora agent view <id>` — full sdk.Agent including nested
AgentConfig (mode / model / allowed_tools / KB scope). Human mode
prints a compact KV layout + Config: block.
- `weknora agent invoke <agent-id> "<text>"` — streams the agent's
configured workflow against a query over SSE. Auto-creates a fresh
session unless `--session` is passed. Streaming defaults to TTY +
no-stream/no-json; agent-friendly buffered single-object output
with `--json` (or `--no-stream`).
Decoupled from the existing `chat` subtree: agents bring their own
system prompt / tool surface / KB selection, so the chat / agent split
matches the server-side resource boundary.
