Custom Commands for reserved-keyword-cli

Overview

The reserved-keyword-cli CLI supports user-authored custom commands that are compiled into the binary alongside the auto-generated API commands. Custom commands get a fully-wired SDK client that inherits the CLI's auth, retries, TLS, base URL, and global headers — zero configuration required.

Architecture

cli/reserved-keyword-cli/custom.rs    ← Your command handlers (protected by .fernignore)
cli/reserved-keyword-cli/sdk.rs       ← Generated bridge: client() + block_on()
cli/reserved-keyword-cli/main.rs      ← Generated entrypoint (calls custom::register)
reserved-keyword-cli-sdk/             ← Co-generated typed SDK crate
reserved-keyword-cli-types/           ← Co-generated typed model crate

Adding a Custom Command

1. Edit cli/reserved-keyword-cli/custom.rs

This file is protected by .fernignore — fern generate will never overwrite it. Register commands in the register() function:

use reserved_keyword_cli_sdk::api::*;

pub fn register(app: CliApp) -> CliApp {
    let app = app.command(
        clap::Command::new("get")
            .about("Run models get")
            .arg(clap::Arg::new("model_id").required(true))
        ,
        |matches, ctx| {
            let model_id = matches.get_one::<String>("model_id").unwrap();
            let client = super::sdk::client(ctx);
            let result = super::sdk::block_on(
                client.models.get(model_id),
            )?;
            println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&result).unwrap());
            Ok(())
        },
    );
    app
}

Then build and test:

cargo build
reserved-keyword-cli get <model_id>

2. Available SDK Clients

The super::sdk::client(ctx) call returns a reserved_keyword_cli_sdk::api::Client with the following sub-clients:

Field	Type	Description
client.models	reserved_keyword_cli_sdk::api::ModelsClient	models operations

3. Key Patterns

Get the SDK client (execution-sharing, fully authenticated):

let client = super::sdk::client(ctx);

Run an async SDK call from a sync handler:

let result = super::sdk::block_on(
    client.some_resource.some_method(args),
)?;

Use typed models for request/response serialization:

use reserved_keyword_cli_sdk::api::*;

Regeneration Safety

File	Regenerated?	Notes
cli/reserved-keyword-cli/custom.rs	No	Protected by .fernignore
cli/reserved-keyword-cli/sdk.rs	Yes	Bridges AppContext → SDK client
cli/reserved-keyword-cli/main.rs	Yes	Calls custom::register(app)
reserved-keyword-cli-sdk/	Yes	Co-generated typed SDK crate
reserved-keyword-cli-types/	Yes	Co-generated typed models

After running fern generate, your custom.rs is preserved. All generated code (SDK, types, glue, main.rs) is updated to match the latest API spec. If the SDK surface changes (renamed methods, new sub-clients), update your custom.rs to match.

Build & Test

# Build the CLI (includes custom commands)
cargo build

# Run your custom command
reserved-keyword-cli <your-command> [args]

# Run with verbose output for debugging
