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:
- Are they exploring for a new project or an existing repo?
- What kind of project (Go service, Python app, general)?
- 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
cw scaffold info -a
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
cw scaffold generate -a
Get component details:
cw scaffold info -c --version latest
Check your current setup:
cw version
ls ~/.cw/cli/
