CW CLI Explorer

Interactive discovery skill for the CoreWeave engineering CLI. Helps you understand what's available and what might benefit your project.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• You're new to the cw CLI and want to learn what it offers
• You want to see what components are available to add to a repo
• You want to explore archetype options for a new project
• You need to understand what a specific component or archetype does

Instructions

Step 1: Check CLI Status

First, verify the CLI is installed and check the version:

cw version

If not installed, guide the user to install it:

gh api -H 'Accept: application/vnd.github.v3.raw' \
   "repos/coreweave/cw-eng-cli/contents/scripts/install.sh" | bash

Step 2: Understand User Context

Ask the user about their context:

1. Are they exploring for a new project or an existing repo?
2. What kind of project (Go service, Python app, general)?
3. What problems are they trying to solve?

Step 3: Show Relevant Options

Based on context, present the most relevant options:

For new projects:

• Explain available archetypes (blank-repo, go-http-service)
• Show how to preview: cw scaffold generate -a

For existing repos:

• List available component groups and what they solve
• Recommend based on what the repo is missing

Component Categories:

| Category | Components | Solves | |----------|------------|--------| | backstage | catalog-yaml-* | Service catalog registration | | github | codeowners | Code ownership and review routing | | github | workflow-megalinter | Comprehensive linting | | github | workflow-renovate | Dependency updates | | github | workflow-claude-review-prs | AI PR review | | github | workflow-close-stale-prs | PR hygiene | | helm | chart-basic | Kubernetes deployment |

Step 4: Deep Dive

If the user wants more info about a specific component or archetype:

cw scaffold info -c   # For component info
cw scaffold info -a   # For archetype info

Step 5: Next Steps

Based on what they want to do, guide them to the appropriate skill:

• /cw-repo for creating a new repository
• /cw-scaffold for adding components or generating archetypes
• /cw-dev for setting up their development environment

Quick Reference

Check what's available:

cw scaffold generate -c  # Interactive component selection
cw scaffold generate -a  # Interactive archetype selection

Get component details:

cw scaffold info -c --version latest

Check your current setup:

cw version
ls ~/.cw/cli/
