⌨️ fiber × cli-tool

Ship cli tool on Fiber with sensible defaults.

Fiber is a Go workable choice for cli tool. GreatCTO auto-detects both — adds the cli-tool archetype overlay, wires cli-tool-specific gates, and runs 83 specialist agents around your existing Fiber workflow.

What changes when GreatCTO joins your Fiber project

Detection → overlay → gates → reviewers.

1 · DETECT

Stack + archetype

GreatCTO reads your go.mod and detects fiber + cli-tool archetype from signals: imports, file structure, env vars, README hints.

2 · OVERLAY

Archetype pack

Attaches the cli-tool archetype overlay: archetype-specific reviewer + compliance gates. Override if your specifics differ; the defaults are sensible for Fiber-style projects.

3 · GATES

Fiber-aware reviewers

qa-engineer runs go vet / staticcheck / go test -race -cover; security-officer reviews context cancellation + goroutine leaks; performance-engineer profiles pprof CPU + heap.

4 · MEMORY

Cross-project lessons

Bugs you've hit before in other Fiber projects (connection-pool exhaustion, ORM N+1 queries, retry storms) — the agent's Step 0 includes the prior detection order. MTTR drops 94 % on second occurrence (methodology).

$ cd my-fiber-app && npx great-cto init
✓ scanning manifests… found manifest
✓ stack: fiber (Go)
✓ archetype: cli-tool
⚠ archetype + stack combo is unusual — review overlay manually
✓ 83 agents ready

$ /start "add cli-tool feature"
▸ architect drafting ARCH-cli-tool.md…
▸ pm decomposing into beads tasks…
⚐ gate:plan — your approval needed

Approve → 3 senior-devs run in parallel worktrees → 5 reviewers fan out in parallel → gate:ship → deploy. One real run walked stage-by-stage: /proof.

What ships

The first feature, Fiber-idiomatic.

This is the shape of what senior-dev drafts for "cli-tool feature" — auth first, schema validation, and the audit line the cli-tool reviewer requires before gate:ship opens.

// internal/handlers/cli_tool.go — drafted by senior-dev, reviewed by 5 agents
func CreateCliTool(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
	user := middleware.RequireUser(c)          // security-officer: auth before handler
	req := new(CliToolRequest)
	if err := c.BodyParser(req); err != nil {  // qa-engineer: binding validation
		return fiber.NewError(fiber.StatusBadRequest, err.Error())
	}
	result, err := service.Handle(c.Context(), req, user)
	audit.Log(user.ID, "cli-tool feature", result.Confidence) // gate:cli-tool: every decision logged
	return c.JSON(result)
}
Where this combo lands

What teams build with Fiber + the cli-tool overlay.

1

Developer CLIs with shell-injection-safe argv handling.

2

CI/CD utilities with --json output and clean exit codes.

3

Internal ops tooling with secret redaction in verbose logs.

⚠ Honest caveat

Fiber (Go) is not a typical fit for cli tool. The archetype overlay still attaches, but you may want to override defaults more aggressively. Check the cli-tool archetype page for the typical stack list and decide if your case is the right tool / right archetype.

Architecture

Every step of the pipeline, transparent.

No black-box "AI does it all" loop. GreatCTO is a deterministic state machine — 8 stages, 22 nodes, 2 human gates. Every node maps to a real agent on GitHub. Inspect the state machine →

Install

Fiber + GreatCTO in one command.

$ npx great-cto init

Free, MIT, runs locally. Built as a Claude Code plugin — install with one command.
