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
Cross-cutting findings surfaced by the branch-completion review.
Perf bug:
- Factory.Client closure was not memoized. Factory.ResolveKB internally
calls f.Client() to resolve --kb name → id, then the command's RunE
calls f.Client() again. Two SDK clients, two keyring reads, two
AuthRetryTransport allocations per name-resolved invocation, with
*independent* token state (a refresh in one was invisible to the
other). Switched to sync.Once like Secrets already does.
Silent bug bait:
- cmdutil.NormalizeHost docstring claimed CodeInputMissingFlag for the
empty case; code returned CodeInputInvalidArgument. Aligned doc to
code (present-but-empty is a bad value, not a missing flag).
Agent contract gaps:
- Five user-facing subcommands lacked SetAgentHelp: auth login /
logout / list / status and chat. Added concise strings with error-
code call-outs so agents can branch without parsing human strings.
Helper extraction (≥3 callers):
- text.KnowledgeDisplayName(fileName, title, id) — byte-identical
formatter that was in both cmd/doc/list.go and cmd/search/docs.go.
Takes fields directly so internal/text stays SDK-free.
- cmdutil.WrapHTTP(cause, fmt, args...) *Error — replaces the
`Wrapf(ClassifyHTTPError(err), err, ...)` pattern across 24 SDK
call sites. Sed-driven migration; off-pattern shapes in chat.go
(used streamErr) and cmdutil/kb.go (in-package) hand-edited.
Contract test gains a comment update: post-migration the dominant
pattern is WrapHTTP which the AST scanner skips entirely (only
NewError/Wrapf selectors inspected); ClassifyHTTPErrorOutputs()
bridge still covers the dynamic codes those paths can yield.
UX consistency:
- cmd/doc/list.go --page-size help now reads "Items per page
(1..1000)" matching cmd/session/list.go. The bounds validation
already enforced 1..1000; the help text was the last drift.
Comment-discipline sweep:
- Deleted the WHAT-only "*Options captures `weknora ...` flag state"
docstring across 23 files (context, kb, auth, doc, session, search,
chat, doctor, link). Where the line carried a real WHY clause
(kb/delete, doc/delete, session/delete, kb/edit), kept the WHY and
dropped only the leading WHAT phrase.
- Stripped third-party project-name attribution from inline comments
and one user-visible flag-help string across ~40 files in cli/cmd
and cli/internal (plus 4 test-file comments). Removed phrases like
"Mirrors `gh X`", "borrowed from lark-cli", "kubectl-style",
"gcloud `--project`", "Stripe pattern", and the embedded GitHub
URLs pointing at those projects. Behavioral descriptions and the
WHY behind each comment are preserved; only the upstream-name
attribution is gone. Inspiration / north-star references belong in
cli/AGENTS.md (the design doc) and commit messages, not scattered
through every file.
Triggered by an audit round that surfaced several false / fragile
parity claims (e.g. "Mirrors `gh repo edit`" — gh repo edit has no
--name flag; "matches gcloud `--project` id-or-name" — gcloud's
--project accepts ID only). Rather than fix them one by one, the
whole category of in-comment external-project references was
stripped uniformly.
text/ gh-style display-width string helpers (Truncate / FuzzyAgo / Pluralize)
compat/ server-CLI version skew probe (kubectl) + 24h TTL cache (gh internal/update)
acceptance/contract/ helpers_test.go for in-process cobra exec + golden assert
(uses iostreams.SetForTest singleton replacement; no t.Parallel)
cmdutil/errors.go: AllCodes() + ClassifyHTTPErrorOutputs() bridge for the
contract test suite (no behavior change in error handling)
go-runewidth promoted from indirect to direct (used by text.Truncate for
display-width-aware CJK truncation).
acceptance/contract/helpers_test.go forward-references cmd.NewRootCmd which
is exported in PR-7 — that file does not compile until then by design.
