create-command（创建命令）

Create Commands

Create and manage commands for the code-forge application. Commands are modular workflows that can be invoked to perform specific tasks.

File Location

CRITICAL: All command files must be created in the <cwd>/.forge/commands directory, where <cwd> is the current working directory of your code-forge project.

• Directory: <cwd>/.forge/commands
• File format: {command-name}.md
• Example: If your project is at /home/user/my-project, commands go in /home/user/my-project/.forge/commands/

This is the only location where forge will discover and load custom commands.

Command File Structure

Every command file must have:

1. YAML Frontmatter (required):

- name: Command identifier (use hyphens for multi-word names) - description: What the command does

1. Command Body (required):

- List of steps to execute - Special tags for automated workflows - Clear instructions for each step

Example Command File

---
name: check
description: Checks if the code is ready to be committed
---

- Run the `lint` and `test` commands and verify if everything is fine.
  <lint>cargo +nightly fmt --all; cargo +nightly clippy --fix --allow-staged --allow-dirty --workspace</lint>
  <test>cargo insta test --accept --unreferenced=delete</test>
- Fix every issue found in the process

Complete Sample Command

This sample demonstrates all three tag types:

---
name: sample-command
description: Sample command demonstrating the command file structure
---

This is a sample command that demonstrates the structure of command files.

- First step: Perform an initial action
  <lint>echo "Running linting..."</lint>
- Second step: Execute tests
  <test>echo "Running tests..."</test>
- Third step: Complete the workflow
  <shell>echo "Workflow complete!"</shell>
- Final step: Verify everything worked correctly

Creating a New Command

Step 1: Determine Command Purpose

Identify what the command should accomplish:

• What task will it perform?
• What steps are involved?
• Are there automated checks or tests needed?
• What should the user do with the results?

Step 2: Choose Command Name

Use verb-based names with hyphens for multi-word commands:

• Good: check, fixme, pr-description, run-tests
• Bad: checker, fixing, PRdescription

Step 3: Write the Command File

Create the file in the <cwd>/.forge/commands directory with the format: {command-name}.md

IMPORTANT: The file MUST be in <cwd>/.forge/commands where <cwd> is your current working directory. Commands placed anywhere else will not be discovered by forge.

Frontmatter

---
name: your-command-name
description: Clear, concise description of what this command does
---

Command Body

Use markdown lists for steps. Each step should:

• Start with a clear action verb
• Be specific and actionable
• Include context about what to do

Special Command Tags

Use these tags for automated workflows:

<lint> Tag

For linting/formatting commands:

<lint>cargo +nightly fmt --all; cargo +nightly clippy --fix --allow-staged --allow-dirty --workspace</lint>

<test> Tag

For testing commands:

<test>cargo insta test --accept --unreferenced=delete</test>

<shell> Tag

For general shell commands (not linting or testing):

<shell>rm -rf target/debug</shell>

Using Tags

Tags should be placed on their own line after the step description:

- Run linting and testing
  <lint>your-lint-command</lint>
  <test>your-test-command</test>

Command Types

Simple Commands

Single-step or instruction-only commands:

---
name: fixme
description: Looks for all the fixme comments in the code and attempts to fix them
---

Find all the FIXME comments in source-code files and attempt to fix them.

Multi-Step Commands

Commands with multiple sequential steps:

---
name: pr-description
description: Updates the description of the PR
---

- I have created a Pull Request with all the accepted changes
- Understand the current PR deeply using the GH CLI and update the PR title and description
- Make sure the title follows conventional commits standard
- Top-level summary should contain 2-3 lines about the core functionality improvements

Automated Workflow Commands

Commands that include automated checks:

---
name: check
description: Checks if the code is ready to be committed
---

- Run the `lint` and `test` commands and verify if everything is fine.
  <lint>cargo +nightly fmt --all; cargo +nightly clippy --fix --allow-staged --allow-dirty --workspace</lint>
  <test>cargo insta test --accept --unreferenced=delete</test>
- Fix every issue found in the process

Command Templates

Simple Command Template

---
name: simple-command
description: Does one specific thing
---

Single clear instruction or description.

Automated Workflow Template

---
name: automated-workflow
description: Runs automated checks and performs follow-up actions

Best Practices

Naming

• Use lowercase letters
• Use hyphens to separate words
• Use verb-based names (imperative form)
• Keep names short but descriptive

Descriptions

• Be clear and concise
• Describe what the command does, not how
• Include the main purpose and key outcomes
• Avoid implementation details

Command Steps

• Use numbered lists for sequential steps
• Start each step with an action verb
• Be specific about what to do
• Include context for complex steps
• Use present tense

Special Tags

• Place tags on their own line after the step
• Only use <lint>, <test>, and <shell> tags
• Include complete commands that can be executed
• Use appropriate flags for your workflow

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Frontmatter Mistakes

Bad: Wrong delimiter:

---
name: my-command
description: My command

(Missing closing ---)

Good: Correct:

---
name: my-command
description: My command
---

Bad: Missing required field:

---
name: my-command
---

(Missing description)

Good: Correct:

---
name: my-command
description: Does something useful
---

Naming Mistakes

Bad: CamelCase name:

---
name: myCommand
description: Does something
---

Good: Correct:

---
name: my-command
description: Does something
---

Bad: Noun instead of verb:

---
name: checker
description: Checks something
---

Good: Correct:

---
name: check
description: Checks something
---

Step Mistakes

Bad: No action verb:

---
name: test
description: Runs tests
---

- The tests
- The code

Good: Correct:

---
name: test
description: Runs tests
---

- Run all tests
- Verify code quality

Bad: Vague steps:

---
name: deploy
description: Deploys application
---

- Do the deployment
- Make sure it works

Good: Correct:

---
name: deploy
description: Deploys application to production
---

- Build the Docker image
  <shell>docker build -t myapp:latest .</shell>
- Push to registry
  <shell>docker push myapp:latest</shell>
- Deploy to production
  <shell>kubectl set image deployment/myapp myapp=myapp:latest</shell>
- Verify deployment is healthy

Tag Mistakes

Bad: Tag on same line:

- Run tests <test>cargo test</test>

Good: Correct:

- Run tests
  <test>cargo test</test>

Bad: Invalid tag:

- Run checks
  <check>cargo clippy</check>

Good: Correct:

- Run checks
  <lint>cargo clippy</lint>

Bad: Incomplete command:

- Format code
  <lint>cargo fmt</lint>

(Missing --all flag)

Good: Correct:

- Format code
  <lint>cargo fmt --all</lint>

Quick Reference

File Location

• Directory: <cwd>/.forge/commands (where <cwd> is current working directory)
• Format: {command-name}.md
• CRITICAL: Commands MUST be in this exact location to be discovered by forge

Valid Tags

• <lint> - For linting/formatting commands
• <test> - For testing commands
• <shell> - For general shell commands

Naming Rules

• Lowercase only
• Hyphens for multi-word names
• Verb-based (imperative form)
• Keep it short but descriptive

Step Guidelines

• Start with action verb
• Be specific
• Include context for complex steps
• Use present tense
• Keep steps focused

When to Use Tags

• Use <lint> when running formatters or linters
• Use <test> when running test suites
• Use <shell> for other shell commands
• Place tags on their own line after step description
• Don't use tags if the step is just an instruction

Testing Your Command

After creating a command, test it by:

1. Syntax Check: Verify YAML is valid # If you have yamllint installed yamllint path/to/your-command.md
2. Manual Review: Read through the command

- Does each step make sense? - Is the order logical? - Are all commands complete?

1. Execution Test: Run the command

- Does each step execute successfully? - Is the output as expected? - Are there any errors?

1. Forge Recognition Test: Verify the command is recognized by forge # Option 1: List all commands (custom commands marked as type: custom) forge list command # Option 2: List only custom commands forge list cmd # Option 3: List only custom commands (newer versions) forge list command --custom

- Does your command appear in the list? - Is the name correct? - Is the description correct?

1. Edge Cases: Consider unusual scenarios

- What happens if a step fails? - What if the environment is different? - What if files are missing?

Verification

After creating a command:

1. Verify the file location: Ensure the file is in <cwd>/.forge/commands directory (CRITICAL - commands anywhere else will not be found)
2. Check YAML frontmatter is valid (use --- delimiters)
3. Ensure the command name matches the filename (without.md)
4. Verify the command is recognized by forge: # Option 1: List all commands (custom commands marked as type: custom) forge list command # Option 2: List only custom commands forge list cmd # Option 3: List only custom commands (newer versions) forge list command --custom Your new command should appear in the list with its name and description
5. Test the command to ensure it works as expected
6. Verify special tags are properly formatted

If your command doesn't appear in the list, check:

• File location: File MUST be in <cwd>/.forge/commands directory (this is the most common issue)
• Filename matches the name field in frontmatter
• YAML frontmatter is properly formatted with --- delimiters
• Both name and description fields are present
