If flags are missing, then fall back to interactive mode—not the other way around. Bad: mycli deploy → ? Which environment? (use arrow keys) Good: mycli deploy --env staging Discoverability without dumping context Agents discover subcommands incrementally: mycli , then mycli deploy --help . Do not print the entire manual on every run. Let each subcommand own its documentation so unused commands stay out of context. --help that works Show more Installs 1.1K Repository cursor/plugins GitHub Stars 8.0K First Seen Mar 27, 2026 Security Audits Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass Socket Pass Snyk Pass
