📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds a command-documentation generator with write and check modes. CLI help metadata and snapshots are updated. Documentation pages now cover current Nuxt CLI commands, options, and behavior. Package scripts expose documentation generation and validation. CI checks documentation synchronization, and the autofix workflow regenerates documentation when relevant paths change. Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to This PR updates CLI documentation and generation behavior, but some examples and option descriptions currently conflict with supported flags, argument forwarding, environment fallbacks, and type contracts.

Qualify the execution steps for skip flags.
When --skipInstall is set, the command does not install the package. When --skipConfig is set, it does not update nuxt.config. The unconditional “will” list is inaccurate for valid invocations. State each step’s condition.

Document the CI exception for serving.

The option table lists NITRO_PORT and NITRO_HOST as valid fallbacks, but the prose and environment-variable table omit them. Add these variables so the environment reference does not contradict the option descriptions.

npm CLI v11 npm create initializer arguments -- separator documentation
💡 Result:
In the npm CLI (including version 11), the double-hyphen separator (--) is used with the npm init command to pass additional arguments and options directly to the initializer package being executed [1][2]. When you run npm init, the CLI transforms the command into an npm exec operation [1][3]. Because npm needs to distinguish between configuration options intended for the npm CLI itself and arguments intended for the underlying initializer (such as create-react-app or other scaffolds), the -- separator acts as a boundary [1][4]. Any flags or arguments placed after the -- are forwarded to the initializer package, while those before it are processed by the npm CLI [1][2]. For example: npm init foo -- --hello In this command: - npm init foo maps to npm exec create-foo [1][5]. - The -- separates the npm CLI options from the initializer arguments [1][6]. - --hello is passed directly to the create-foo package's binary [1][2]. You can see this pattern in more complex scenarios as well, where you might pass options to both the npm CLI and the initializer [1][3]: npm init foo -y --registry= -- --hello -a This is equivalent to running: npm exec -y --registry= -- create-foo --hello -a [1][5][3]

npm init -- separator introduced npm version compatibility npm create initializer arguments
💡 Result:
The double-dash separator (--) in npm commands is a standard convention used to distinguish arguments intended for the npm CLI itself from arguments intended for the underlying command being executed [1][2]. When using npm init, any arguments provided after the double-dash are passed directly to the initializer package being run [1][2]. For example, in the command npm init -- , the are passed to the create- package [1][2]. This allows users to pass specific flags or options to the generator tool without them being intercepted or misinterpreted by the npm CLI [1][2]. The ability to use initializers with npm init (e.g., npm init ) was introduced in npm v6.1.0 (via pull request #20303) [3][4]. Before this change, npm init only provided legacy functionality—asking a series of questions to generate a package.json file [5][1]. With this update, npm init was extended to act as a wrapper for npx (now npm exec), allowing it to fetch and execute create-* packages from the registry [5][1][6][7]. Key points regarding compatibility and behavior: 1. Initialization Behavior: If no initializer is provided (i.e., running just npm init), the command defaults to the legacy questionnaire-based behavior [5][1]. 2. Argument Forwarding: The use of -- ensures that arguments following it are not consumed by the npm CLI's parser, but are instead passed entirely to the subprocess initiated by npm exec [1][2]. 3. Mapping: npm maps npm init to npm exec create- [5][1]. This means it looks for a package named create- in the registry [5][1]. Scoped packages follow similar logic, e.g., npm init @scope maps to npm exec @scope/create [5][1]. 4. Compatibility: This mechanism is compatible with all modern versions of npm (v6.1.0 and later) [3][4]. By using the -- separator, you ensure consistent behavior across different versions when passing complex arguments to your chosen initializer [1][2].

Both pages document a --no-* flag that is absent from the generated option block. Add the corresponding negative descriptions to CLI metadata, or remove the unsupported claims and examples.

Make module remove usage match its argument contract.
Line 68 shows one optional module name. Line 77 says that one or more module names are accepted. If multiple names are supported, render [MODULENAME...]; otherwise change the argument description to singular.

citty 0.2.2 dist/index.d.mts ArgDef ArgsDef CommandDef Resolvable exports
💡 Result:
In version 0.2.2 of the citty library, the dist/index.d.mts file exports several key types and functions used for building command-line interfaces [1][2]. Key Exports The public API provided by index.d.mts includes the following core definitions and utilities [1][3]: ArgDef and ArgsDef ArgDef defines the configuration for an individual command-line argument, which can be one of several types (BooleanArgDef, StringArgDef, PositionalArgDef, or EnumArgDef) [1][4]. ArgsDef is a record type used to map argument names to their respective ArgDef configurations [1][4]. CommandDef CommandDef is the primary structure used to define a command. It contains metadata, arguments (args), sub-commands, setup/cleanup lifecycle hooks, and the main run function [1][4]. Resolvable Resolvable is a utility type that enables lazy and dynamic configuration [1][5]. It allows properties such as meta, args, and subCommands to be provided as a static value, a Promise, a function, or an async function [5][6]. Other Notable Exports The library also exports several functional helpers and context types [1][3]: - defineCommand: A type helper for creating a CommandDef [1][5]. - runMain: The entry point for running a command with integrated usage support and error handling [5][7]. - runCommand: A function for executing commands programmatically [5][7]. - parseArgs: A utility to parse raw input arguments against an ArgsDef [5][7]. - defineCittyPlugin: A helper for defining plugins [1][5]. - renderUsage / showUsage: Utilities for generating and displaying CLI help documentation [5][7]. - CommandContext: The object passed to lifecycle hooks (setup, cleanup, run) containing parsed arguments and command metadata [1][4]. These exports enable a composable and type-safe architecture for building CLIs in TypeScript [1][7].

Import Citty’s exported command-definition types.
The patched citty@0.2.2 exports ArgDef, ArgsDef, CommandDef, and Resolvable. Replace these local declarations with type-only imports. The local Resolvable omits direct Promise<T> values, and the local types can diverge from Citty’s contract.
