🔧 CLI Implementation Patterns

Command Structure Pattern

Standard CLI Command Structure:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
Command description and purpose
"""

import asyncio
import argparse
from typing import Optional

class CommandClass:
    def __init__(self):
        self.adapter = None  # Service adapter for operations

    async def execute(self, command: str, query: str = None):
        """Main command execution router"""

            elif command == "pages":
                await self.cmd_pages()
            elif command == "create":
                await self.cmd_create(query or "")
            else:
                self.print_error(f"Unknown command: {command}")
                self.print_info("Available commands: status, test, search, pages, create")

        except Exception as e:
            self.print_error(f"Unexpected error: {e}")

    async def cmd_status(self):
        """Check integration status"""
        # Implementation with proper error handling

    async def cmd_test(self):
        """Test connection"""
        # Implementation with connection validation

    async def cmd_search(self, query: str):
        """Search functionality"""
        # Implementation with query processing

    async def cmd_pages(self):
        """List pages"""
        # Implementation with data retrieval

    async def cmd_create(self, title: str, parent_id: Optional[str] = None):

    # Search command
    search_parser = subparsers.add_parser("search", help="Search functionality")

Notion CLI Implementation Example

Key Implementation Features:

  1. Smart Parent Selection: Automatic fallback to first available page
  2. Error Handling: Graceful degradation with user-friendly messages
  3. Output Formatting: Consistent formatting with color-coded status indicators
  4. Command Validation: Proper argument parsing and validation

Implementation Highlights:

async def cmd_create(self, title: str, parent_id: Optional[str] = None):
    """Create a new Notion page"""
    try:
        # Use default parent if not specified
        if not parent_id:
            # Search for a default parent
            pages = await self.adapter.search_notion("", filter_type="page")
            if pages:
                parent_id = pages[0]["id"]
                self.print_warning("Using first available page as parent")
            else:
                self.print_error("No pages found to use as parent")
                return

        # Create the page
        result = await self.adapter.create_page(
            parent_id=parent_id,
            properties={
                "title": {
                    "title": [
                        {
                            "text": {
                                "content": title
                            }
                        }
                    ]
                }
            }
        )

        if result:
            self.print_success(f"\nPage created successfully!")
            self.print_info(f"Title: {title}")
            self.print_info(f"ID: {result.get('id', 'unknown')}")
            self.print_info(f"URL: {result.get('url', 'No URL')}")
        else:
            self.print_error("Failed to create page")

    except Exception as e:
        self.print_error(f"Error creating page: {e}")

CLI Testing Patterns

End-to-End CRUD Validation:

# Full CRUD cycle test
python cli/commands/notion.py status          # Verify connection
python cli/commands/notion.py pages           # List existing items
python cli/commands/notion.py search --query "test"  # Search content
python cli/commands/notion.py create "Test Item"     # Create new item
python cli/commands/notion.py search --query "Test Item"  # Verify creation

Error Handling Validation:

Integration Quality

🔄 Development Workflow

Adding New Commands

  1. Create Command File: cli/commands/new_command.py
  2. Implement Command Class: Inherit from base pattern
  3. Add to Package: Update cli/commands/__init__.py
  4. Integrate with Main: Add command detection in main.py
  5. Create Tests: Add integration tests
  6. Update Documentation: Document usage and features

Command Pattern

class NewCommand:
    def __init__(self):
        # Initialize services
        pass

    async def execute(self, **kwargs):
        # Execute command logic
        pass

    def main():
        # CLI entry point
        pass

🚨 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. Import Errors: Ensure CLI package is properly installed
  2. Service Failures: Check service availability and fallbacks
  3. Format Issues: Verify Slack formatting compatibility

Debug Mode

# Run with verbose output
python -v main.py standup

# Test individual components
python scripts/test_cli_standup.py

📈 Future Enhancements

Planned Features

  1. Additional Commands: Status, health, configuration
  2. Interactive Mode: TUI interface for complex operations
  3. Configuration Management: CLI configuration file support
  4. Plugin System: Extensible command architecture

Integration Opportunities

  1. GitHub CLI: Issue and PR management
  2. Docker Integration: Container management commands
  3. Database Tools: Schema and data management
  4. Monitoring: System health and performance commands
