+## API Reference: CLI Setup
+
+### `defineCli<TSchema, TSecrets>(options): Cli`
+
+Factory function that creates a CLI from a declarative options object. Two generic type parameters:
+
+- `TSchema extends z.ZodType` — config schema type (defaults to `Record<string, unknown>`)
+- `TSecrets extends z.ZodType` — secrets schema type (defaults to `Record<string, unknown>`)
+
+### `CliOptions<TSchema, TSecrets>` Interface
+
+```typescript
+interface CliOptions<TSchema, TSecrets> {
+  name: string;                          // CLI name (kebab-case, used for config files and env var prefix)
+  version: string;                       // Semantic version (shown in --version)
+  root?: string;                         // Absolute path to package root (resolves sibling packages)
+  description: Resolvable<string, Config>; // Static string or function of ({ config, workdir })
+  commands: Command<any, any, any>[];    // Array of command definitions
+  configSchema?: TSchema;                // Zod schema for user-facing config
+  secretsSchema?: TSecrets;              // Zod schema for sensitive config (API keys, tokens)
+  interactive?: InteractiveConfig<Config>; // REPL configuration
+  triggers?: Trigger<any, any, any>[];   // Routine loop triggers
+  routine?: RoutineConfig;               // Routine loop timing & project scanner
+  services?: ServiceDefinition<Config>[]; // Background service definitions
+  events?: Record<string, (data: any, log: Logger) => void>; // Event handlers
+  workdir?: string;                      // Implementation-level workdir override (hides --workdir flag)
+  configDefaults?: Record<string, unknown>; // Layer 5 config defaults
+  prompts?: PromptsConfig;               // Agent skills & profiles
+}
+```
+
+### `InteractiveConfig<TConfig>` Interface
+
+```typescript
+interface InteractiveConfig<TConfig> {
+  welcome: Resolvable<string, TConfig>;  // Welcome message (static or dynamic)
+  outputWindow?: number;                 // Trailing output lines in REPL (default: 6)
+}
+```
+
+### `Resolvable<T, TConfig>` Type
+
+```typescript
+type Resolvable<T, TConfig> = T | ((ctx: { workdir: string; config: TConfig }) => T);
+```
+
+Allows static values OR dynamic computation based on resolved workdir and config.

+description: "Set up a new CLI with defineCli, config schemas, entrypoint, and interactive mode"
+metadata:
+  author: Powerhouse
+  version: "1.0.0"
+---
+
+=== BEGIN SKILL BRIEFING ===
+
+IMPORTANT: Don't take any action yet. You will be guided through your tasks after the briefing(s). Just process and confirm your understanding.
+
+# CLI Setup - Skill Preamble
+
+With this skill, you can scaffold or extend a `defineCli()` configuration — the composition root that wires commands, config, services, triggers, and integrations into a single CLI runtime. A single `defineCli()` call produces a CLI that works in command mode (`mycli cmd --arg val`), interactive REPL mode (`/cmd --arg val`), and as an MCP server — all from the same code.
+
+## Core Principles
+
+### defineCli Is Declarative
+
+You describe _what_ the CLI has — the framework wires it up. The order of options doesn't matter, but understanding what triggers what does:
+
+- `configSchema` present → auto-injects a `config` command for viewing/modifying settings
+- `secretsSchema` present → fields merge into configSchema internally, but are censored in output
+- `services` present → auto-injects per-service management commands (`{id}-start`, `{id}-stop`, etc.)
+- `interactive` present → enables the `-i` flag for REPL mode
+- `triggers` present → enables routine loop
+- `cli-docs` command is always auto-injected (CLI help for the agent)
+
+### Resolvable Values
+
+`description` and `interactive.welcome` accept either a static string or a function `({ config, workdir }) => string`. Use functions when the message depends on runtime state — e.g., showing "demo mode" vs "LLM mode" based on whether an API key is configured.
+
+### The Cli Object
+
+`defineCli()` returns a `Cli` object — the public API with methods for running, testing, introspection, and metadata. The standard entry point is `cli.run(process.argv)`. For programmatic access (e.g., codegen scripts), use `cli.bootstrap()` which resolves workdir, config, and context without entering the dispatch loop.
+
+### Two Interaction Modes
+
+1. **Command mode** (headless): Execute one subcommand, then exit. Triggered by `mycli cmd --flag val`.
+2. **Interactive REPL mode**: Persistent session with `/command` syntax and bare text for the default subcommand (typically the agent). Triggered by `mycli -i` or when keep-alive features are active (routine loop, API server).
+
+### 6-Layer Config Resolution
+
+Config values are resolved in this priority order (highest wins):
+1. `--config <file>` flag
+2. Environment variables: `{CLI_NAME}_{UPPER_SNAKE_FIELD}`
+3. Local config: `{workdir}/.ph/{cliName}.config.local.json`
+4. User config: `~/.ph/{cliName}.config.user.json`
+5. Implementation defaults: `configDefaults` in CliOptions
+6. Zod schema `.default()` values
+
+### Config vs Secrets
+
+- `configSchema` — user-facing settings (model name, ports, feature flags). Shown in `config` command output.
+- `secretsSchema` — sensitive values (API keys, tokens). Merged into configSchema internally but censored as `***` in output unless `--revealSecrets` is used.
+
+Put API keys and tokens in `secretsSchema`, not `configSchema`.
+
+### configDefaults vs Schema Defaults
+
+- `.default(value)` in the Zod schema → layer 6, the fallback when nothing else is configured
+- `configDefaults` in CliOptions → layer 5, implementation-level overrides that sit above schema defaults but below user/local config
+
+Use schema `.default()` for universal sensible defaults. Use `configDefaults` for implementation-specific overrides that differ from the general-purpose default.
+
+### Entry Point Convention
+
+The CLI entry point is a TypeScript file with a Node.js shebang:
+
+```typescript
+#!/usr/bin/env node
+import { defineCli } from '@powerhousedao/ph-clint';
+// ... imports ...
+const cli = defineCli({ /* options */ });
+cli.run(process.argv);
+```
+
+The `package.json` needs a `"bin"` field pointing to the compiled output and `"type": "module"` for ESM.
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+- **Forgetting `version`** — Commander needs it for the `--version` flag; omitting it breaks help output
+- **Putting secrets in `configSchema`** — they show up in `config` command output and metadata, exposing sensitive values
+- **Not setting `interactive.welcome`** — REPL starts with no context, confusing the user
+- **Using `configDefaults` for universal defaults** — use `.default()` in the schema instead; `configDefaults` is for implementation-level overrides only
+- **Calling `configureAgent()` inside `defineCli()`** — it's a method on the returned `Cli` object, called after definition
+- **Forgetting `"type": "module"` in package.json** — ESM imports fail at runtime
+- **Not exporting the `cli` object** — other files (e.g., `mastra/index.ts`) may need it for `cli.bootstrap()`
+
+## When to Use `createTypes()`
+
+For projects with a config schema, use the typed factory to get automatic config typing in all commands:
+
+```typescript
+import { createTypes } from '@powerhousedao/ph-clint';
+const { defineCommand, defineTrigger } = createTypes({ configSchema });
+// context.config is now fully typed in every command
+```
+
+## Codegen-Managed Projects
+
+In ph-clint-cli projects, `clint-project-init` generates the initial scaffold including `cli.ts` with `@clint:begin`/`@clint:end` marker regions. The codegen system:
+
+- **Generates `cli.ts`** with marker regions for imports, commands, services, triggers, prompts, events, interactive, reactor, and mastra
+- **Generates `framework.gen.ts`** (codegen-owned) with the document registry — regenerated when the spec's `documentTypes` change
+- **Emits `framework.ts`** once (user-owned) with `configSchema`, `secretsSchema`, and `createTypes()` — never overwritten after creation
+
+**The agent never hand-edits marker regions in `cli.ts`.** To add or change CLI features:
+
+1. Update `project-spec.json` to declare the new structure
+2. Run `clint-project-regen` to regenerate the marker regions
+3. Run `clint-project-build` to verify
+
+User-owned code outside markers (`configSchema`, `secretsSchema`, `CLI_NAME`) is preserved across regens. User-owned files (`framework.ts`, `src/commands/*.ts`, `src/services/*.ts`, `src/triggers/*.ts`) are never overwritten.

+# Phase 0: Assess CLI Needs
+
+Before writing any code, determine which features the CLI requires.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Name the CLI
+
+Choose a kebab-case name. This name is used for:
+- Config file paths: `{workdir}/.ph/{name}.config.local.json`
+- Environment variable prefix: `{NAME}_*` (UPPER_SNAKE_CASE)
+- Package `"bin"` field and executable name
+
+### 2. Determine version sourcing
+
+Choose one:
+- **Hardcoded**: `version: '1.0.0'`
+- **From package.json**: `const { version } = readPackageInfo(import.meta.url)`
+
+### 3. Feature checklist
+
+For each feature, determine if the CLI needs it:
+
+- [ ] **Custom config?** → needs `configSchema` (Zod object)
+- [ ] **Sensitive config (API keys, tokens)?** → needs `secretsSchema` (Zod object)
+- [ ] **Interactive REPL?** → needs `interactive` with `welcome` message
+- [ ] **Background services?** → needs `services` array of `defineService()` definitions
+- [ ] **Automated triggers?** → needs `triggers` array + `routine` config
+- [ ] **AI agent?** → needs `cli.configureAgent(loader)` after `defineCli()`
+- [ ] **Skill templates?** → needs `prompts` config with `artifacts`, `agents`, `skills`
+- [ ] **Powerhouse documents?** → needs `cli.configureReactor(config)` after `defineCli()`
+- [ ] **Service lifecycle events?** → needs `events` handlers
+- [ ] **Implementation-level workdir override?** → needs `workdir` option (hides `--workdir` flag)
+
+### 4. List commands to register
+
+Enumerate all commands that will be passed to the `commands` array. These should already be defined using `defineCommand()` (see the `command-definition` skill). Note which ones need agent-compatible `{ text, data }` returns.
+
+### 5. Detect codegen vs manual project
+
+For existing projects, check if `cli.ts` already has `@clint:begin` marker regions:
+- **Codegen-managed**: Markers present — update `project-spec.json` and run `clint-project-regen`. Never hand-edit marker regions.
+- **Manual**: No markers — edit `defineCli()` directly as a regular TypeScript file.
+
+For new projects, prefer using `clint-project-init` to generate the scaffold with markers.
+
+### 6. Determine config field names
+
+For each config/secret field, verify the auto-generated env var name is sensible:
+- Field `apiKey` on CLI `mycli` → env var `MYCLI_API_KEY`
+- Field `connectPort` on CLI `vetra` → env var `VETRA_CONNECT_PORT`
+
+If a name would be confusing, consider renaming the field.

+# Phase 1: Define Config and Secrets Schemas
+
+Design and wire the configuration layer. Skip this phase if the CLI needs no configuration.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Define configSchema
+
+Create a Zod object schema for user-facing settings:
+
+```typescript
+import { z } from 'zod';
+
+export const configSchema = z.object({
+  model: z.string().default('anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5').describe('LLM model to use'),
+  port: z.number().default(4001).describe('Server port'),
+  verbose: z.boolean().default(false).describe('Enable verbose output'),
+});
+```
+
+Rules:
+- Every field MUST have `.describe('...')` — it appears in `config` command output, `--help`, and env var listings
+- Use `.default(value)` for fields with sensible defaults
+- Use `.optional()` only for truly optional fields with no default
+- Prefer specific types: `z.enum([...])` for constrained choices, `z.number()` for ports
+
+### 2. Define secretsSchema
+
+Create a separate Zod object schema for sensitive values:
+
+```typescript
+export const secretsSchema = z.object({
+  apiKey: z.string().optional().describe('LLM API key'),
+  dbToken: z.string().optional().describe('Database access token'),
+});
+```
+
+Rules:
+- Secrets are almost always `.optional()` — the CLI should work without them (possibly in a degraded mode)
+- These fields are merged into configSchema internally but censored in output
+- They follow the same env var naming: `{CLI_NAME}_{FIELD}`
+
+### 3. Set configDefaults (if needed)
+
+Use `configDefaults` in `defineCli()` for implementation-specific overrides that differ from the schema defaults:
+
+```typescript
+defineCli({
+  configSchema,
+  configDefaults: {
+    port: 8080, // This implementation uses 8080, not the schema default of 4001
+  },
+});
+```
+
+This is layer 5 — above schema `.default()` but below user/local config files.
+
+### 4. Use createTypes for typed commands
+
+If you have a configSchema, create a typed factory so all commands get typed `context.config`:
+
+```typescript
+// framework.ts
+import { createTypes } from '@powerhousedao/ph-clint';
+import { configSchema, secretsSchema } from './config.js';
+
+export const { defineCommand, defineTrigger } = createTypes({ configSchema, secretsSchema });
+export { configSchema, secretsSchema };
+```
+
+Then import `defineCommand` from `./framework.js` instead of `ph-clint` in all command files.
+
+### 5. Verify env var names
+
+Run through each field and check the auto-generated env var name:
+- `{CLI_NAME}` is the CLI name uppercased with hyphens replaced by underscores
+- Field keys are converted to UPPER_SNAKE_CASE
+- Example: CLI `my-app`, field `connectPort` → `MY_APP_CONNECT_PORT`
