# Flock CLI System Specification

## Overview
The Command Line Interface (CLI) system provides a user-friendly way to interact with Flock agents, create workflows, and manage agent configurations. This specification defines the requirements and behavior of the CLI subsystem.

**Core Implementation:** `src/flock/cli/`

## Core Components

### 1. Flock CLI

**Implementation:** `src/flock/cli/loaded_flock_cli.py`

**Purpose:**
Provide an interactive interface for managing and executing Flock workflows.

**Key Features:**
- Execute Flock workflows
- Start web server (with or without UI)
- Manage agents
- Registry management
- Settings management
- YAML configuration editing

### 2. YAML Editor

**Implementation:** `src/flock/cli/yaml_editor.py`

**Purpose:**
Edit Flock configuration files in YAML format.

### 3. Settings Manager

**Implementation:** `src/flock/cli/settings.py`

**Purpose:**
Manage user preferences, environment profiles, and global settings.

**Key Features:**
- Environment variable management
- Environment profile management (dev, prod, etc.)

## CLI Modules

### 1. Agent Management

**Implementation:** `src/flock/cli/manage_agents.py`

**Features:**
- Create, edit, and delete agents

### 2. Flock Management

**Implementation:** `src/flock/cli/create_flock.py`, `src/flock/cli/load_flock.py`

**Features:**
- Create new Flock workflows
- Load existing workflows

### 3. Execution Engine

**Implementation:** `src/flock/cli/execute_flock.py`

**Features:**
- Select agent to run
- Configure input values
- Enable/disable logging
- Run Flock workflows

### 4. Registry Management

**Implementation:** `src/flock/cli/registry_management.py`

**Features:**
- Manage agent and tool registrations

## User Interface Components

### 1. Navigation System
- Menu-based navigation with questionary
- Rich UI formatting

### 2. Input Components
- Text input fields
- Selection lists
- Confirmations

### 3. Output Components
- Rich text display
- Panels and formatting
- Error messages

## Design Principles

1. **User-Centric Design**:
   - Clear navigation menus
   - Consistent interface
   - Step-by-step process flows
   - Helpful error messages

2. **Efficiency**:
   - Streamlined workflows
   - Default values for common options
   - Structured navigation

3. **Flexibility**:
   - Support for different workflow patterns
   - Configuration options
   - Multiple execution modes

## Implementation Requirements

1. CLI must work in standard terminal environments
2. Should provide robust error handling
3. Must support configuration management
4. Should be consistent across different parts of the system
5. Should provide appropriate feedback to users
