Metadata

  • Commit message: fix(actor): add agents actor create alias to match CLI spec
  • Branch name: fix/actor-cli-create-command

Background and Context

The product specification states that actors can be created via CLI using agents actor create/list/show. However, the current implementation in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py only provides agents actor add (not create), agents actor list, and agents actor show.

The spec requirement is: "Actors can be created via CLI (agents actor create/list/show)"

The implementation provides: agents actor add, agents actor list, agents actor show, agents actor remove, agents actor update, agents actor set-default, agents actor run, agents actor context

The agents actor create command is missing. The spec explicitly names create as the command verb, but the implementation uses add instead. While add and create may be functionally equivalent, the CLI surface does not match the specification.

Expected Behavior

agents actor create <NAME> --config <FILE> should work per the spec.

agents actor create --help should show correct usage matching the specification.

Acceptance Criteria

  • agents actor create <NAME> --config <FILE> works identically to agents actor add
  • agents actor create --help shows correct usage
  • BDD scenario passes for agents actor create
  • No regression in existing agents actor add tests
  • CLI help output matches the specification

Subtasks

  • Add agents actor create as an alias or rename of agents actor add
  • Update CLI help text to reflect spec-compliant command name
  • Add BDD test scenario for agents actor create
  • Update CHANGELOG.md

Definition of Done

  • agents actor create <NAME> --config <FILE> works identically to agents actor add
  • agents actor create --help shows correct usage
  • BDD scenario passes for agents actor create
  • No regression in existing agents actor add tests

Summary

The product specification states that actors can be created via CLI using agents actor create/list/show. However, the current implementation in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py only provides agents actor add (not create), agents actor list, and agents actor show.

The spec requirement is: "Actors can be created via CLI (agents actor create/list/show)"

The implementation provides: agents actor add, agents actor list, agents actor show, agents actor remove, agents actor update, agents actor set-default, agents actor run, agents actor context

Gap

The agents actor create command is missing. The spec explicitly names create as the command verb, but the implementation uses add instead. While add and create may be functionally equivalent, the CLI surface does not match the specification.

Impact

  • Users following the spec documentation will not find agents actor create
  • Spec-driven tests expecting agents actor create will fail
  • CLI help output does not match specification

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run agents actor --help
  2. Observe that create subcommand is absent; only add is present

Actual Behavior

agents actor create returns an error; only agents actor add is available.

[AUTO-OWNR-1] Triage Decision (Cycle 14)

Status: Verified

MoSCoW: Should Have
Priority: Medium

Rationale: The spec explicitly names agents actor create as the CLI command verb, but the implementation only provides agents actor add. While functionally equivalent, the CLI surface mismatch means users following spec documentation will hit errors, and spec-driven BDD tests expecting create will fail. This is a straightforward naming alignment issue — the fix is low-risk (adding an alias or renaming) but important for spec compliance and user trust in the documentation.

Next Steps: Add agents actor create as an alias (or rename) of agents actor add in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py, update CLI help text, add a BDD scenario for agents actor create, and ensure no regression in existing agents actor add tests. Branch: fix/actor-cli-create-command.
