+
+## Problem Categories & Solutions
+
+### Category 1: Installation & Setup Issues (Critical Priority)
+
+**Problem: Shebang corruption during npm install**
+- **Frequency**: HIGH × Complexity: HIGH
+- **Root Cause**: npm converting line endings in binary files
+- **Solutions**:
+  1. Quick: Set `binary: true` in .gitattributes
+  2. Better: Use LF line endings consistently
+  3. Best: Configure npm with proper binary handling
+- **Diagnostic**: `head -n1 $(which your-cli) | od -c`
+- **Validation**: Shebang remains `#!/usr/bin/env node`
+
+**Problem: Global binary PATH configuration failures**
+- **Frequency**: HIGH × Complexity: MEDIUM
+- **Root Cause**: npm prefix not in system PATH
+- **Solutions**:
+  1. Quick: Manual PATH export
+  2. Better: Use npx for execution (available since npm 5.2.0)
+  3. Best: Automated PATH setup in postinstall
+- **Diagnostic**: `npm config get prefix && echo $PATH`
+- **Resources**: [npm common errors](https://docs.npmjs.com/common-errors/)
+
+**Problem: npm 11.2+ unknown config warnings**
+- **Frequency**: HIGH × Complexity: LOW
+- **Solutions**: Update to npm 11.5+, clean .npmrc, use proper config keys
+
+### Category 2: Cross-Platform Compatibility (High Priority)
+
+**Problem: Path separator issues Windows vs Unix**
+- **Frequency**: HIGH × Complexity: MEDIUM
+- **Root Causes**: Hard-coded `\` or `/` separators
+- **Solutions**:
+  1. Quick: Use forward slashes everywhere
+  2. Better: `path.join()` and `path.resolve()`
+  3. Best: Platform detection with specific handlers
+- **Implementation**:
+```javascript
+// Cross-platform path handling
+import { join, resolve, sep } from 'path';
+import { homedir, platform } from 'os';
+
+function getConfigPath(appName) {
+  const home = homedir();
+  switch (platform()) {
+    case 'win32':
+      return join(home, 'AppData', 'Local', appName);
+    case 'darwin':
+      return join(home, 'Library', 'Application Support', appName);
+    default:
+      return process.env.XDG_CONFIG_HOME || join(home, '.config', appName);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Problem: Line ending issues (CRLF vs LF)**
+- **Solutions**: .gitattributes configuration, .editorconfig, enforce LF
+- **Validation**: `file cli.js | grep -q CRLF && echo "Fix needed"`
+
+### Unix Philosophy Principles
+
+The Unix philosophy fundamentally shapes how CLIs should be designed:
+
+**1. Do One Thing Well**
+```javascript
+// BAD: Kitchen sink CLI
+cli analyze --lint --format --test --deploy
+
+// GOOD: Separate focused tools
+cli-lint src/
+cli-format src/
+cli-test
+cli-deploy
+```
+
+**2. Write Programs to Work Together**
+```javascript
+// Design for composition via pipes
+if (!process.stdin.isTTY) {
+  // Read from pipe
+  const input = await readStdin();
+  const result = processInput(input);
+  // Output for next program
+  console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
+} else {
+  // Interactive mode
+  const file = process.argv[2];
+  const result = processFile(file);
+  console.log(formatForHuman(result));
+}
+```
+
+**3. Text Streams as Universal Interface**
+```javascript
+// Output formats based on context
+function output(data, options) {
+  if (!process.stdout.isTTY) {
+    // Machine-readable for piping
+    console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
+  } else if (options.format === 'csv') {
+    console.log(toCSV(data));
+  } else {
+    // Human-readable with colors
+    console.log(chalk.blue(formatTable(data)));
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**4. Silence is Golden**
+```javascript
+// Only output what's necessary
+if (!options.verbose) {
+  // Errors to stderr, not stdout
+  process.stderr.write('Processing...\n');
+}
+// Results to stdout for piping
+console.log(result);
+
+// Exit codes communicate status
+process.exit(0); // Success
+process.exit(1); // General error
+process.exit(2); // Misuse of command
+```
+
+**5. Make Data Complicated, Not the Program**
+```javascript
+// Simple program, handle complex data
+async function transform(input) {
+  return input
+    .split('\n')
+    .filter(Boolean)
+    .map(line => processLine(line))
+    .join('\n');
+}
+```
+
+**6. Build Composable Tools**
+```bash
+# Unix pipeline example
+cat data.json | cli-extract --field=users | cli-filter --active | cli-format --table
+
+# Each tool does one thing
+cli-extract: extracts fields from JSON
+cli-filter: filters based on conditions  
+cli-format: formats output
+```
+
+**7. Optimize for the Common Case**
+```javascript
+// Smart defaults, but allow overrides
+const config = {
+  format: process.stdout.isTTY ? 'pretty' : 'json',
+  color: process.stdout.isTTY && !process.env.NO_COLOR,
+  interactive: process.stdin.isTTY && !process.env.CI,
+  ...userOptions
+};
+```
+
+### Category 3: Argument Parsing & Command Structure (Medium Priority)
+
+**Problem: Complex manual argv parsing**
+- **Frequency**: MEDIUM × Complexity: MEDIUM
+- **Modern Solutions** (2024):
+  - Native: `util.parseArgs()` for simple CLIs
+  - Commander.js: Most popular, 39K+ projects
+  - Yargs: Advanced features, middleware support
+  - Minimist: Lightweight, zero dependencies
+
+**Implementation Pattern**:
+```javascript
+#!/usr/bin/env node
+import { Command } from 'commander';
+import { readFileSync } from 'fs';
+import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
+import { dirname, join } from 'path';
+
+const __dirname = dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url));
+const pkg = JSON.parse(readFileSync(join(__dirname, '../package.json'), 'utf8'));
+
+const program = new Command()
+  .name(pkg.name)
+  .version(pkg.version)
+  .description(pkg.description);
+
+// Workspace-aware argument handling
+program
+  .option('--workspace <name>', 'run in specific workspace')
+  .option('-v, --verbose', 'verbose output')
+  .option('-q, --quiet', 'suppress output')
+  .option('--no-color', 'disable colors')
+  .allowUnknownOption(); // Important for workspace compatibility
+
+program.parse(process.argv);
+```
+
+### Category 4: Interactive CLI & UX (Medium Priority)
+
+**Problem: Spinner freezing with Inquirer.js**
+- **Frequency**: MEDIUM × Complexity: MEDIUM
+- **Root Cause**: Synchronous code blocking event loop
+- **Solution**:
+```javascript
+// Correct async pattern
+const spinner = ora('Loading...').start();
+try {
+  await someAsyncOperation(); // Must be truly async
+  spinner.succeed('Done!');
+} catch (error) {
+  spinner.fail('Failed');
+  throw error;
+}
+```
+
+**Problem: CI/TTY detection failures**
+- **Implementation**:
+```javascript
+const isInteractive = process.stdin.isTTY && 
+                     process.stdout.isTTY && 
+                     !process.env.CI;
+
+if (isInteractive) {
+  // Use colors, spinners, prompts
+  const answers = await inquirer.prompt(questions);
+} else {
+  // Plain output, use defaults or fail
+  console.log('Non-interactive mode detected');
+}
+```
+
+### Category 5: Monorepo & Workspace Management (High Priority)
+
+**Problem: Workspace detection across tools**
+- **Frequency**: MEDIUM × Complexity: HIGH
+- **Detection Strategy**:
+```javascript
+async function detectMonorepo(dir) {
+  // Priority order based on 2024 usage
+  const markers = [
+    { file: 'pnpm-workspace.yaml', type: 'pnpm' },
+    { file: 'nx.json', type: 'nx' },
+    { file: 'lerna.json', type: 'lerna' }, // Now uses Nx under hood
+    { file: 'rush.json', type: 'rush' }
+  ];
+  
+  for (const { file, type } of markers) {
+    if (await fs.pathExists(join(dir, file))) {
+      return { type, root: dir };
+    }
+  }
+  
+  // Check package.json workspaces
+  const pkg = await fs.readJson(join(dir, 'package.json')).catch(() => null);
+  if (pkg?.workspaces) {
+    return { type: 'npm', root: dir };
+  }
+  
+  // Walk up tree
+  const parent = dirname(dir);
+  if (parent !== dir) {
+    return detectMonorepo(parent);
+  }
+  
+  return { type: 'none', root: dir };
+}
+```
+
+**Problem: Postinstall failures in workspaces**
+- **Solutions**: Use npx in scripts, proper hoisting config, workspace-aware paths
+
+### Category 6: Package Distribution & Publishing (High Priority)
+
+**Problem: Binary not executable after install**
+- **Frequency**: MEDIUM × Complexity: MEDIUM
+- **Checklist**:
+  1. Shebang present: `#!/usr/bin/env node`
+  2. File permissions: `chmod +x cli.js`
+  3. package.json bin field correct
+  4. Files included in package
+- **Pre-publish validation**:
+```bash
+# Test package before publishing
+npm pack
+tar -tzf *.tgz | grep -E "^[^/]+/bin/"
+npm install -g *.tgz
+which your-cli && your-cli --version
+```
+
+**Problem: Platform-specific optional dependencies**
+- **Solution**: Proper optionalDependencies configuration
+- **Testing**: CI matrix across Windows/macOS/Linux
+
+## Quick Decision Trees
+
+### CLI Framework Selection (2024)
+```
+parseArgs (Node native) → < 3 commands, simple args
+Commander.js → Standard choice, 39K+ projects
+Yargs → Need middleware, complex validation
+Oclif → Enterprise, plugin architecture
+```
+
+### Package Manager for CLI Development
+```
+npm → Simple, standard
+pnpm → Workspace support, fast
+Yarn Berry → Zero-installs, PnP
+Bun → Performance critical (experimental)
+```
+
+### Monorepo Tool Selection
+```
+< 10 packages → npm/yarn workspaces
+10-50 packages → pnpm + Turborepo
+> 50 packages → Nx (includes cache)
+Migrating from Lerna → Lerna 6+ (uses Nx) or pure Nx
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Startup Time (<100ms target)
+```javascript
+// Lazy load commands
+const commands = new Map([
+  ['build', () => import('./commands/build.js')],
+  ['test', () => import('./commands/test.js')]
+]);
+
+const cmd = commands.get(process.argv[2]);
+if (cmd) {
+  const { default: handler } = await cmd();
+  await handler(process.argv.slice(3));
+}
+```
+
+### Bundle Size Reduction
+- Audit with: `npm ls --depth=0 --json | jq '.dependencies | keys'`
+- Bundle with esbuild/rollup for distribution
+- Use dynamic imports for optional features
+
+## Testing Strategies
+
+### Unit Testing
+```javascript
+import { execSync } from 'child_process';
+import { test } from 'vitest';
+
+test('CLI version flag', () => {
+  const output = execSync('node cli.js --version', { encoding: 'utf8' });
+  expect(output.trim()).toMatch(/^\d+\.\d+\.\d+$/);
+});
+```
+
+### Cross-Platform CI
+```yaml
+strategy:
+  matrix:
+    os: [ubuntu-latest, windows-latest, macos-latest]
+    node: [18, 20, 22]
+```
+
+## Modern Patterns (2024)
+
+### Structured Error Handling
+```javascript
+class CLIError extends Error {
+  constructor(message, code, suggestions = []) {
+    super(message);
+    this.code = code;
+    this.suggestions = suggestions;
+  }
+}
+
+// Usage
+throw new CLIError(
+  'Configuration file not found',
+  'CONFIG_NOT_FOUND',
+  ['Run "cli init" to create config', 'Check --config flag path']
+);
+```
+
+### Stream Processing Support
+```javascript
+// Detect and handle piped input
+if (!process.stdin.isTTY) {
+  const chunks = [];
+  for await (const chunk of process.stdin) {
+    chunks.push(chunk);
+  }
+  const input = Buffer.concat(chunks).toString();
+  processInput(input);
+}
+```
+
+## Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid
+
+1. **Hard-coding paths** → Use path.join()
+2. **Ignoring Windows** → Test on all platforms
+3. **No progress indication** → Add spinners
+4. **Manual argv parsing** → Use established libraries
+5. **Sync I/O in event loop** → Use async/await
+6. **Missing error context** → Provide actionable errors
+7. **No help generation** → Auto-generate with commander
+8. **Forgetting CI mode** → Check process.env.CI
+9. **No version command** → Include --version
+10. **Blocking spinners** → Ensure async operations

+- [Node.js CLI best practices](https://github.com/lirantal/nodejs-cli-apps-best-practices)
+- [Commander.js](https://github.com/tj/commander.js) - 39K+ projects
+- [Yargs](https://yargs.js.org/) - Advanced parsing
+- [parseArgs](https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#utilparseargsconfig) - Native Node.js
+
+### Key Libraries (2024)
+- **Inquirer.js** - Rewritten for performance, smaller size
+- **Chalk 5** - ESM-only, better tree-shaking
+- **Ora 7** - Pure ESM, improved animations

+
+## Multi-Binary Architecture
+
+Split complex CLIs into focused executables for better separation of concerns:
+
+```json
+{
+  "bin": {
+    "my-cli": "./dist/cli.js",
+    "my-cli-daemon": "./dist/daemon.js",
+    "my-cli-worker": "./dist/worker.js"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Benefits:
+- Smaller memory footprint per process
+- Clear separation of concerns
+- Better for Unix philosophy (do one thing well)
+- Easier to test individual components
+- Allows different permission levels per binary
+- Can run different binaries with different Node flags
+
+Implementation example:
+```javascript
+// cli.js - Main entry point
+#!/usr/bin/env node
+import { spawn } from 'child_process';
+
+if (process.argv[2] === 'daemon') {
+  spawn('my-cli-daemon', process.argv.slice(3), { 
+    stdio: 'inherit',
+    detached: true 
+  });
+} else if (process.argv[2] === 'worker') {
+  spawn('my-cli-worker', process.argv.slice(3), { 
+    stdio: 'inherit' 
+  });
+}
+```

+
+## Code Review Checklist
+
+When reviewing CLI code and npm packages, focus on:
+
+### Installation & Setup Issues
+- [ ] Shebang uses `#!/usr/bin/env node` for cross-platform compatibility
+- [ ] Binary files have proper executable permissions (chmod +x)
+- [ ] package.json `bin` field correctly maps command names to executables
+- [ ] .gitattributes prevents line ending corruption in binary files
+- [ ] npm pack includes all necessary files for installation
+
+### Cross-Platform Compatibility
+- [ ] Path operations use `path.join()` instead of hardcoded separators
+- [ ] Platform-specific configuration paths use appropriate conventions
+- [ ] Line endings are consistent (LF) across all script files
+- [ ] CI testing covers Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms
+- [ ] Environment variable handling works across platforms
+
+### Argument Parsing & Command Structure
+- [ ] Argument parsing uses established libraries (Commander.js, Yargs)
+- [ ] Help text is auto-generated and comprehensive
+- [ ] Subcommands are properly structured and validated
+- [ ] Unknown options are handled gracefully
+- [ ] Workspace arguments are properly passed through
+
+### Interactive CLI & User Experience
+- [ ] TTY detection prevents interactive prompts in CI environments
+- [ ] Spinners and progress indicators work with async operations
+- [ ] Color output respects NO_COLOR environment variable
+- [ ] Error messages provide actionable suggestions
+- [ ] Non-interactive mode has appropriate fallbacks
+
+### Monorepo & Workspace Management
+- [ ] Monorepo detection supports major tools (pnpm, Nx, Lerna)
+- [ ] Commands work from any directory within workspace
+- [ ] Workspace-specific configurations are properly resolved
+- [ ] Package hoisting strategies are handled correctly
+- [ ] Postinstall scripts work in workspace environments
+
+### Package Distribution & Publishing
+- [ ] Package size is optimized (exclude unnecessary files)
+- [ ] Optional dependencies are configured for platform-specific features
+- [ ] Release workflow includes comprehensive validation
+- [ ] Version bumping follows semantic versioning
+- [ ] Global installation works without PATH configuration issues
+
+### Unix Philosophy & Design
+- [ ] CLI does one thing well (focused responsibility)
+- [ ] Supports piped input/output for composability
+- [ ] Exit codes communicate status appropriately (0=success, 1=error)
+- [ ] Follows "silence is golden" - minimal output unless verbose
+- [ ] Data complexity handled by program, not forced on user
