This adds a --json flag specifically to the 'alcove agents repos' command
for better discoverability, while maintaining compatibility with the
global --output json flag.
- Added cmd.Flags().Bool("json", false, "Output JSON instead of table format")
- Updated runAgentsRepos to check both --json and global --output json
- Added comprehensive tests for the new flag functionality
- Updated CLI reference documentation to show the new flag
- Both flags work independently or together
Fixes #416

✅ Code Review - Excellent implementation!
This PR successfully addresses issue #416 by adding a dedicated --json flag to the alcove agents repos command. The implementation is well-designed and maintains backward compatibility.
✅ What I liked:
-
Clean Flag Addition: The flag is properly defined with appropriate type (bool), default value (false), and clear usage description.
-
Smart Logic: The implementation correctly handles both the new
--jsonflag and the existing global--output jsonflag using OR logic:jsonFlag || isJSONOutput(cmd). This ensures either flag works as expected. -
Comprehensive Testing: The added tests cover:
- Flag existence and properties
- Flag parsing with and without the flag
- Both true/false states
- Proper integration with cobra framework
-
Documentation Updates: The CLI reference documentation was properly updated to reflect the new flag, including examples.
-
Descriptive Commit Message: The commit message clearly explains the changes and references the issue.
-
Backward Compatibility: Existing users relying on
--output jsonwill continue to work unchanged.
✅ Code Quality:
- Follows Project Conventions: Consistent with existing codebase patterns
- No Breaking Changes: Maintains API compatibility
- Proper Flag Usage: Uses cobra flag patterns correctly
- Clean Implementation: Minimal, focused changes
✅ Testing:
While I couldn't run the tests due to dev container configuration issues, the test structure looks comprehensive and follows Go testing best practices:
- Tests flag existence and properties
- Tests flag parsing behavior
- Tests both enabled/disabled states
- Uses descriptive test names
✅ Documentation:
The CLI reference update properly documents the new flag and shows examples of both the new --json flag and the existing global --output json flag.
This is a textbook example of a well-implemented feature enhancement that solves the discoverability issue while maintaining full backward compatibility.
