Rewrite CLI help as a self-documenting manual - #247
Conversation
The prisma package now carries an agent skill covering the platform: the workspace/project/branch model, preview environments, the two deploy paths, services and versions, the Compute runtime, Prisma Postgres, object storage, environment variables, and the local development stack. Packaging follows the composer pattern: the tracked source lives in skills/, stage-skills.mjs stages it into the tarball at prepack, set-version.ts stamps metadata.library_version on every bump, and check-skill-packaging.mjs (wired into pr-quality) packs the package and verifies the stamp and byte equality against the source. The prisma package joins the skills-sync allowlist so consumers receive the skill via prisma skills sync. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Help now writes for a reader who has never used Prisma: group briefs lead with scope, group cards define the terms their rows use, every row stands alone, and flag briefs state plain-language defaults and when to reach for them. The engine gains a Workflow help section (ordered, copy-pastable steps) used by the root, project, postgres, bucket, service, and service domain cards. The standard and its rationale live in docs/product/cli-help-standard.md, with card-structure rules extended in the style guide and an AGENTS.md rule binding future commands to the same bar.

Summary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe CLI engine now supports ordered workflow sections in root and command-group help. CLI metadata and command descriptions were expanded across platform command groups. New skill tooling stages package-owned skills, stamps versions, validates packed contents, and runs in CI. Repository documentation defines help-writing standards and the Prisma Platform skill documents platform concepts and workflows. Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR rewrites CLI help and platform guidance, but several current descriptions are materially inaccurate: project linking can create a platform project, GitHub deployment still requires a workflow, and other commands omit important credential, default, or state details. Merging as-is could lead users or automation to create unexpected resources, target the wrong workspace, or encounter failed deployment and setup steps, so owner follow-up is needed before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Document the service-token override for workspace selection.
When PRISMA_SERVICE_TOKEN is set, its environment credential overrides the selected stored session. These descriptions state that local session selection controls the target workspace without that exception. A user can switch a local session and still run resource commands against the token workspace.

https://www.prisma.io/docs/compute/github GitHub integration deploy workflow Prisma 8.0.0-rc.11
💡 Result:
For projects using Prisma 8.0.0-rc.11, the GitHub integration and deployment workflow are managed via the Prisma GitHub App and the prisma/cloud-deploy-action GitHub Action [1][2]. Key details for this deployment workflow include: 1. Authentication: The integration uses GitHub OIDC tokens [1]. By granting the deployment job id-token: write permission, the workflow exchanges the OIDC token for a short-lived Prisma workspace token, eliminating the need to store repository secrets for deployment [1][3][2]. 2. Deployment Command: Since Prisma 8.0.0-rc.8, the deployment process utilizes the top-level prisma deploy command [2][4]. Earlier versions (pre-rc.8) used prisma composer commands, which have been removed and are no longer supported [3][2][4]. 3. Branch Handling: When a GitHub repository is connected via the Prisma Console, push events trigger the deployment workflow [1]. Pushes to the default branch deploy to production, while pushes to other branches trigger isolated preview environments [3][2]. Deleting a Git branch automatically tears down the corresponding preview environment [1][2]. 4. Requirements: The deployment action requires Bun 1.3.10 or newer to be present on the runner's PATH [2][4]. The recommended practice is to include oven-sh/setup-bun@v2 in your workflow configuration prior to the prisma/cloud-deploy-action step [3][2]. 5. Versioning: The action automatically uses the version of Prisma installed as a devDependency in your repository [2][5]. If no such dependency exists, it defaults to a pinned version (e.g., 8.0.0-rc.9 or later, depending on the action release) fetched via bunx [2][5]. Example workflow snippet [3]: jobs: deploy: if: github.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest permissions: id-token: write steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v4 - uses: actions/setup-node@v4 - uses: oven-sh/setup-bun@v2 - uses: prisma/cloud-deploy-action@v1 with: build-command: npm run build

💡 Result:
The command service domain add is used in the context of Prisma Compute to associate a custom domain with a specific service. Based on the documentation, the standard syntax for this command is: bunx prisma@latest service domain add --service [1] When you run this command, the system attempts to register the domain and verifies that the necessary DNS (CNAME) records are configured [1]. If the DNS records are not yet detected, the command will fail with a DOMAIN_DNS_NOT_CONFIGURED error, providing the specific record name and value required for your DNS configuration [1]. Once you have configured the DNS, you can re-run the same add command to complete the registration and initiate TLS provisioning [1]. You can subsequently track the progress of the domain's activation using the following command [1]: bunx prisma@latest service domain wait --service [1]

💡 Result:
To add a custom domain to a service on the Prisma Compute platform, you must have a production app with a promoted, running deployment [1]. The command to add a custom domain is executed via the Prisma CLI using the following syntax: bunx prisma@latest service domain add --service [1] When running this command, ensure the following requirements and steps are met: 1. Prerequisite: Ensure you have a promoted, running deployment for your production app, as custom domains cannot be configured for preview apps [1]. 2. DNS Configuration: The command verifies DNS records. If the required CNAME record is not yet visible, the command will fail with a DOMAIN_DNS_NOT_CONFIGURED error and display the necessary record name and value [1]. 3. Completion: Once your DNS provider has propagated the CNAME record, re-run the add command to succeed and begin TLS provisioning [1]. 4. Tracking: You can track the status of the provisioning process by using: bunx prisma@latest service domain wait --service [1] Note that custom domains are limited to three per app, and the platform requires DNS providers that support CNAME-like records (such as ALIAS, ANAME, or CNAME flattening) if you are using an apex domain [1].

Before service domain add, ensure that the service has a promoted, running production version. If the CNAME is not visible, service domain add can fail with DOMAIN_DNS_NOT_CONFIGURED. After creating the reported CNAME record, rerun service domain add, then run service domain wait.

Prisma CLI 8.0.0-rc.11 service create --branch missing branch Composer stage deploy creates branch
💡 Result:
In the Prisma Developer Platform (using Prisma CLI version 8.x), branches are created automatically when you deploy a Composer application using a stage that does not yet exist [1][2]. When you run the deployment command—such as npx prisma composer deploy module.ts --stage <name>—the Prisma CLI targets that specified stage [3][2][4]. If that stage (branch) does not exist in your Prisma project, the platform automatically creates it as a new, isolated branch environment [1][2]. You do not need to manually create the branch using a separate command [1]. The behavior where a deployment triggers the creation of a missing branch is a standard feature of the Prisma Composer workflow, intended to provide an isolated environment (such as a preview branch) for your application code [1][2]. If you were previously attempting to use a command like service create --branch and found it either missing or unnecessary, please note that current Prisma 8 CLI documentation emphasizes using composer deploy with the --stage flag to manage these environments [1][5][2][4]. The CLI manages branches as part of the project topology, and simply deploying to a new stage name handles the provisioning [1][2].

Narrow the branch lifecycle limitation.
The branch group has no direct branch create or branch delete command. In 8.0.0-rc.11, service create --branch <name> and Composer deploy --stage <name> can create a missing branch. Composer destroy <entry> --stage <name> can tear down a branch environment. Update lines 304-307 to document these indirect paths instead of claiming that the CLI has no stage teardown verb.

Makes
--helpthe reference for the CLI: every card teaches the product model it depends on, written for a reader (human or agent) who has never used Prisma and has no skill installed.Changes
docs/product/cli-help-standard.mddefines the wording contract and its rationale: rows stand alone, group briefs lead with scope, group cards define the terms their rows use, no internal vocabulary (binding, resolved, pinned).cli-style-guide.mdgains the card rules andAGENTS.mdbinds future commands to the standard.HelpSpecgains aWorkflowSteptype and group/root help aworkflowfield; the renderer (packages/cli-engine/src/execution/help.ts) draws aWorkflowsection of$-prefixed, two-column steps before Examples. Covered by new tests inexecution.test.ts.Why
Help ships with the binary and always matches the installed version, so it is the one interface every consumer is guaranteed to have. Writing it for an agent that has never heard of Prisma removes the churn of undefined vocabulary: one card read, one correct invocation, no doc round trip and no reliance on an installed skill. Behaviour claims in the new text were verified against handlers before writing; one-time secret semantics, consent tokens, and deploy-on-push descriptions match the code.
Includes the commits of #245 (merged in); the effective diff shrinks to the help work once that PR lands. The "Prisma Next" strings and
deploy/devsummaries ship in@prisma/orm-toolchain/@prisma/composer-cliand need PRs in those repos.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
