Implement comprehensive CLI help system with command documentation and usage examples
Purpose: Address the gap where help system shows no content, leaving users without guidance on available commands and their usage
Output: Working help command that displays all available CLI commands with descriptions and examples

Implement comprehensive help system
src/app/__main__.py
Add a comprehensive help system to the CLI by implementing a /help command:
1. **Create help command handler** - Add a function to handle /help or --help:
- Detect /help, --help, or help commands in the CLI input
- Display formatted help output using Rich console for better readability
- Include command descriptions, usage examples, and available options
2. **Document all available commands** - Include help for:
- /help - Show this help message
- /session - Display session information and statistics
- /clear - Clear current conversation and start fresh session
- /exit or /quit - Exit the CLI application
- Regular message input - How to send messages to the AI
3. **Format help output professionally** - Use Rich console features:
- Use panels or tables for organized command display
- Include syntax highlighting for command examples
- Add descriptions for each command's purpose and usage
- Show examples of common command combinations
4. **Integrate with existing CLI** - Ensure help command:
- Works alongside existing message processing
- Doesn't interfere with normal conversation flow
- Is accessible at any point during the session
- Handles help for specific commands (e.g., /help session)
Gap reason: "Help system shows no content"
Users need guidance on available commands and their usage to effectively use the CLI interface.
# Test help system implementation
python -c "
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, 'src')
# Check if help command logic exists
with open('src/app/__main__.py', 'r') as f:
content = f.read()
# Look for help-related patterns
help_patterns = [
'def.*help',
'/help',
'--help',
'help.*command',
'Command.*help'
]
found_help = any(pattern in content.lower() for pattern in help_patterns)
if found_help:
print('✓ Help command implementation found')
else:
print('✗ Help command implementation missing')
exit(1)
# Check for Rich console usage in help
if 'panel(' in content or 'table(' in content:
print('✓ Rich formatting for help output')
else:
print('⚠ Rich formatting for help may be missing')
"
CLI now has a comprehensive help system that displays all available commands with descriptions, usage examples, and professional formatting
Test the help system by:
1. Start the CLI application
2. Type /help or --help
3. Verify all commands are listed with descriptions
4. Test specific command help (e.g., /help session)
5. Ensure help output is well-formatted and readable
Expected: Comprehensive help display showing all available CLI commands with descriptions and usage examples
- /help command displays all available CLI commands
- Each command has a clear description and usage example
- Help output is professionally formatted using Rich console
- Help is accessible at any point during the CLI session
- Specific command help works (e.g., /help session)
