 ### Terminology
 
 - **Launcher/Router**: The main entry point for your CLI. Visit [CLI Launcher (Router)](#cli-launcher-router) section to learn more.
-- **Command/Subcommand**: A command is a function that defines the behavior of a CLI.
+- **Command**: A command is a function that defines the inner script launched by the main script where runMain() is used or by some other command.
 - **Argument**: An argument is a value that is passed to a command.
 - **Flag**: A flag is a boolean argument that is used to enable or disable a feature.
 - **Option**: An option is a named argument that is used to configure a command.

 - **Prompt-First, Modern UX:**
   - The launcher integrates tightly with the prompt engine, so you can build interactive, delightful CLIs with minimal effort.
 
+### Launcher Programmatic Execution
+
+For larger CLIs or when you want to programmatically run commands (e.g.: [prompt demo](./example/prompts/mod.ts), tests, etc), you can organize your commands in a `cmds.ts` file and use the `runCmd` utility.
+
+**Pro Tips & Best Practices**:
+
+- Install `dler` globally and run `dler rempts init --cmds` to generate a `src/app/cmds.ts` (custom path is supported) file in your project.
+- You can use any name for the `cmds.ts` file and store it anywhere, but `src/app/cmds.ts` is a good convention you can follow.
+- Use the async function pattern for lazy loading if you have many commands or care about startup performance.
+- Use eager loading (const) for small CLIs or demos where simplicity is preferred.
+
+**Lazy Loading (Recommended for Most CLIs)**:
+
+```ts
+// example/launcher/app/cmds.ts
+
+export async function getCmdHooks() {
+  return (await import("./hooks/cmd.js")).default;
+}
+
+export async function getCmdFoo() {
+  return (await import("./foo/cmd.js")).default;
+}
+
+// ...more commands
+```
+
+Usage:
+
+```ts
+// example/prompts/mod.ts
+
+import { getCmdHooks } from "@/launcher/app/cmds.js";
+import { runCmd } from "@reliverse/rempts";
+
+await runCmd(await getCmdHooks(), ["--flag"]);
+// OR:
+// const hooksCmd = await getCmdHooks();
+// await runCmd(hooksCmd, ["--flag"]);
+```
+
+**Alternative: Eager Loading (All Commands Loaded at Startup)**:
+
+```ts
+// example/launcher/app/cmds.ts
+export const hooksCmd = (await import("./hooks/cmd.js")).default;
+export const fooCmd = (await import("./foo/cmd.js")).default;
+// ...more commands
+```
+
+Usage:
+
+```ts
+import { hooksCmd } from "./cmds.js";
+import { runCmd } from "@reliverse/rempts";
+
+await runCmd(hooksCmd, ["--flag"]);
+```
+
+**Programmatic Command Execution with `runCmd`**:
+
+The `runCmd` utility lets you run a command's `run()` handler with parsed arguments, outside of the full launcher context. This is useful for demos, tests, or custom flows:
+
+```ts
+import { runCmd } from "@reliverse/rempts";
+import { hooksCmd } from "./cmds.js";
+
+await runCmd(hooksCmd, ["--flag"]); // argv as array of strings
+```
+
+Or with lazy loading:
+
+```ts
+const hooksCmd = await getCmdHooks();
+await runCmd(hooksCmd, ["--flag"]);
+```
+
+**Note:** `runCmd` only runs the command's `run()` handler and does not handle subcommands, file-based commands, or global hooks. For full CLI behavior, use `runMain`.
+
+**Performance Note:**
+
+- Eager loading (`const`) loads all commands at startup, which may impact performance for large CLIs.
+- Lazy loading (`async function`) loads each command only when needed, improving startup time and memory usage.
+
+Choose the pattern that best fits your CLI's size and usage!
