+{"id":"gt-mbyy","title":"CLI API Audit: gt and bd command structure review before OSS launch","description":"# CLI API Audit for OSS Launch\n\nBefore launching Gas Town + Beads as an SDK, we need to ensure the command-line\nAPI is intelligently designed, consistent, intuitive, and structurally sound.\n\n## Current State Audit\n\n### gt (Gas Town) - 50+ top-level commands\n\n**Agent Lifecycle:**\n- `gt mayor`, `gt deacon`, `gt witness`, `gt refinery` - agent management\n- `gt polecat` - worker management (subcommands: add, remove, list, etc.)\n- `gt crew` - persistent workspace management\n- `gt spawn` - create polecat with work\n\n**Work Lifecycle:**\n- `gt spawn` - assign work to new polecat\n- `gt sling` - hook work + start immediately\n- `gt hook` - attach work durably\n- `gt handoff` - pass work to fresh session\n- `gt done` - signal work complete\n- `gt release` - release stuck issues\n\n**Infrastructure:**\n- `gt daemon`, `gt up`, `gt down`, `gt start`, `gt stop`, `gt shutdown`\n- `gt init`, `gt install`, `gt doctor`\n\n**Communication:**\n- `gt mail` (subcommands: send, inbox, read, etc.)\n- `gt nudge`, `gt broadcast`\n\n**Molecules:**\n- `gt molecule` / `gt mol` (17 subcommands!)\n\n### bd (Beads) - Well-categorized but some sprawl\n\n**Core CRUD:**\n- `bd create`, `bd show`, `bd update`, `bd close`, `bd list`\n\n**Molecules:**\n- `bd mol` (5 subcommands: catalog, show, bond, run, distill)\n- `bd wisp` (3 subcommands: create, gc, list)\n- `bd pour` (top-level alias for instantiation)\n- `bd cook` (compile formula to proto)\n\n**Hook/Pin:**\n- `bd pin` - attach mol to agent hook\n- `bd unpin` - remove from hook\n- `bd hook` - inspect what's on hook\n\n## Structural Concerns\n\n### 1. gt is sprawling (50+ top-level commands)\n\nMany commands could be subcommands:\n```\n# Current                      # Could be\ngt up/down/start/stop         gt daemon {up|down|start|stop}\ngt spawn/sling/hook/handoff   gt work {spawn|sling|hook|handoff}\ngt mayor/deacon/witness       gt agent {mayor|deacon|witness|...}\n```\n\n### 2. Overlap between gt and bd\n\n| Concept | gt | bd |\n|---------|----|----|\n| Hook | `gt hook` | `bd pin`, `bd hook` |\n| Mail | `gt mail` | `bd mail` (delegates) |\n| Molecules | `gt mol` (17 cmds) | `bd mol` (5 cmds) |\n\nWhich owns what? User confusion likely.\n\n### 3. Naming inconsistencies\n\n- `gt polecat` (noun) vs `gt spawn` (verb) - both about polecats\n- `gt done` vs `gt handoff` - both end work but different\n- `bd mol run` vs `bd pour` - both instantiate\n\n### 4. Subcommand depth decisions\n\n**Good patterns:**\n- `bd mol {catalog|show|bond|run|distill}` - coherent group\n- `gt mail {send|inbox|read|archive}` - coherent group\n\n**Questionable patterns:**\n- `bd create --wisp` AND `bd wisp create` - two ways to do same thing\n- `gt spawn --molecule X` AND `gt mol instantiate` - overlap\n\n### 5. Flag vs subcommand guidelines needed\n\nWhen to use flags vs subcommands?\n- `--json` as flag ✓ (modifier)\n- `--wisp` as flag for create? Or separate `bd wisp create`?\n- `--molecule` on spawn? Or separate workflow?\n\n## Recommendations to Evaluate\n\n### A. Consolidate gt top-level commands\n\nGroup related commands:\n```\ngt agent {mayor|deacon|witness|refinery|polecat}\ngt work {spawn|sling|hook|handoff|done}\ngt infra {daemon|up|down|doctor}\n```\n\n### B. Clarify gt vs bd ownership\n\n| Domain | Owner | Other defers |\n|--------|-------|--------------|\n| Issues | bd | gt uses bd |\n| Agents | gt | bd doesn't touch |\n| Molecules | bd mol | gt mol wraps for UX |\n| Hooks | bd pin/hook | gt hook wraps |\n| Mail | gt mail | bd mail delegates |\n\n### C. Apply consistent naming\n\n- All agent commands: nouns (`gt polecat`, `gt mayor`)\n- All work commands: verbs (`gt spawn`, `gt sling`, `gt hook`)\n- Avoid synonyms: pick one term and stick with it\n\n### D. Flag vs subcommand rule\n\n- Flags: modify behavior of command (`--json`, `--force`, `--wisp`)\n- Subcommands: distinct operations (`mol run`, `mol squash`, `mol burn`)\n- Exception: very common operations can have top-level aliases\n\n## Tasks\n\n1. [ ] Review gt command groupings - propose consolidation\n2. [ ] Review bd command groupings - check for sprawl\n3. [ ] Document gt vs bd ownership boundaries\n4. [ ] Identify and resolve naming inconsistencies\n5. [ ] Document flag vs subcommand decision criteria\n6. [ ] Create migration plan for any breaking changes\n7. [ ] Update help text to be consistent\n8. [ ] Test agent UX: can Claude guess commands correctly?\n\n## Success Criteria\n\n- New user can guess command structure intuitively\n- `gt --help` fits on one screen (or is well-categorized)\n- No duplicate functionality between gt and bd\n- Consistent naming throughout\n- Claude agents can discover commands without documentation","status":"open","priority":1,"issue_type":"epic","created_at":"2025-12-24T23:48:42.420867-08:00","updated_at":"2025-12-24T23:48:42.420867-08:00","dependencies":[{"issue_id":"gt-mbyy","depends_on_id":"gt-jo9n","type":"blocks","created_at":"2025-12-24T23:48:52.221824-08:00","created_by":"daemon"}]}
