When to Use

You have a Commander program and want structured option/argument extraction with full fidelity
Runtime introspection is unavailable (no access to the program object)
The CLI uses a framework other than Commander (yargs, oclif, custom)
You have both CLI surfaces (from introspection/help) and typed config interfaces (from TypeDoc)
You want JSDoc @useWhen/@avoidWhen/@never tags to appear on CLI options in the generated skill
You have a Commander program and want to generate a skill from its command structure
You have raw --help output and no runtime access to the program object

Avoid when:

Your CLI uses yargs, oclif, or another framework — use parseHelpOutput as a fallback instead
Your CLI is built with a framework other than Commander — use parseHelpOutput directly instead
API surface: 4 functions

NEVER

NEVER pass both program and helpTexts — program takes precedence and helpTexts is silently ignored
NEVER forget to pass configSurfaces when you have typed option interfaces — JSDoc metadata won't be correlated

Configuration

CliExtractionOptions

Key	Type	Required	Default	Description
`program`	`any`	no	—	Commander program object (preferred)
`helpTexts`	`Record<string, string>`	no	—	Help text per command (fallback)
`metadata`	`{ name?: string; description?: string; keywords?: string[]; repository?: string; author?: string }`	no	—	Package metadata
`configSurfaces`	`ExtractedConfigSurface[]`	no	—	Config surfaces from TypeDoc for JSDoc correlation
