[cli-consistency] CLI Consistency Issues - 2026-10-06 #66169
Description
Summary
Inspected 46 top-level command help outputs from /tmp/gh-aw/agent/help-output/ and compared flags/commands to docs/src/content/docs/setup/cli.md.
| Severity | Count |
|---|---|
| high | 0 |
| medium | 1 |
| low | 1 |
Documentation gaps
1. gh aw work-queue is not documented in cli.md (medium)
- Help output:
Experimental: inspect and update a Git-backed work queue, with subcommandscancel-claim,cancel-work,claim,compact,finish,replay,stats,submit-work, and the flag--branch string Work queue branch (default "gh-aw-work-queue"). - Actual:
cli.mdhas nogh aw work-queuesection. Its only mention is thework-queueartifact set underaudit. The--branchflag is not documented anywhere. - Suggested fix: add a section to
cli.mdcovering the subcommands and flags. Other experimental commands (edit,sessions) are already documented.
Flag-naming inconsistencies
2. work-queue lacks the -r and -j short flags (low)
- Help output:
--json Output JSON --repo string GitHub repository owner/repo - Expected: the other commands that have these flags (17 each) use
-r, --repoand-j, --json.work-queueis the only command that omits the short forms. - Suggested fix: add
-rand-jshorthands towork-queue.
Inspection metadata
- Date: 2026-10-06
- Method: scanned the pre-collected help files, cross-checked every command name and long flag against
cli.md, and compared short/long flag pairings across commands. Other undocumented entries (--banner,--version, andgh) are not real subcommands and were not counted.
