**Bug class:** Commands implemented in `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/` but never routed in `cli-entry.ts`.
## Checklist — Adding a New CLI Command
1. **Create command file** in `packages/squad-cli/src/cli/commands/<name>.ts`
- Export a `run<Name>(cwd, options)` async function (or class with static methods for utility modules)
2. **Add routing block** in `packages/squad-cli/src/cli-entry.ts` inside `main()`:
```ts
if (cmd === '<name>') {
const { run<Name> } = await import('./cli/commands/<name>.js');
// parse args, call function
await run<Name>(process.cwd(), options);
return;
}
```
3. **Add help text** in the help section of `cli-entry.ts` (search for `Commands:`):
```ts
console.log(` ${BOLD}<name>${RESET} <description>`);
console.log(` Usage: <name> [flags]`);
```
4. **Verify both exist** — the recurring bug is doing step 1 but missing steps 2-3.
## Wiring Patterns by Command Type
| Type | Example | How to wire |
|------|---------|-------------|
| Standard command | `export.ts`, `build.ts` | `run*()` function, parse flags from `args` |
| Placeholder command | `loop`, `cast` (alias: `hire`) | Inline in cli-entry.ts, prints pending message |
| Utility/check module | `rc-tunnel.ts`, `copilot-bridge.ts` | Wire as diagnostic check (e.g., `isDevtunnelAvailable()`) |
| Subcommand of another | `init-remote.ts` | Already used inside parent + standalone alias |
## Common Import Pattern
```ts
import { BOLD, RESET, DIM, RED, GREEN, YELLOW } from './cli/core/output.js';
```
Use dynamic `await import()` for command modules to keep startup fast (lazy loading).
## History
- **#237 / PR #244:** 4 commands wired (rc, copilot-bridge, init-remote, rc-tunnel). aspire, link, loop, cast (née hire) were already present.
