/iblai-cli-maintenance

Maintainer-facing reference for the iblai command-line tool (iblai-app-cli). It captures how the CLI is built, not how to use it day-to-day — the user-facing behavior of each command lives with the skill that owns the feature:

• iblai add <feature>, iblai startapp, iblai config, and the template system → /iblai-scaffold
• iblai builds … (Tauri desktop/mobile) → /iblai-ops-build
• iblai deploy … → /iblai-ops-deploy

This skill is the authoritative record of how the iblai CLI is built — so it can be rebuilt, forked, or its logic ported. The references below are the source of truth.

Relationship to the templates

The Jinja2 templates the CLI renders now live as skill assets beside the feature they scaffold (e.g. iblai-auth/assets/, iblai-scaffold/assets/base/, iblai-ops-build/assets/icons/). references/iblai-cli-templates.md explains the variable contract those .j2 files expect.
