Clack CLI Skill

Use this skill to implement reliable interactive CLIs with @clack/core and @clack/prompts.

Workflow

1. Decide whether to use @clack/prompts or @clack/core.
2. Read only the minimum reference files needed for the task.
3. Start from the closest example in references/examples/.
4. Implement cancellation handling after every prompt.
5. Add UX polish (intro, outro, spinner, progress, tasks, log, taskLog, stream) when useful.
6. Verify imports against export maps in references/docs/prompts-exports.ts and references/docs/core-exports.ts.

Pick the Right Layer

Use @clack/prompts by default.

• Choose it for production-ready styling and quick delivery.
• Use it when the request maps to standard prompt types: text, confirm, select, multiselect, grouped prompts, logs, spinners, progress, tasks, or streaming logs.
