Welcome to ``shai_py`` Documentation

In the AI-driven development era, tools must be designed for machine consumption first. ``shai-py`` (Sanhe AI Python tools) embraces this philosophy by packaging Python development utilities as a CLI-first library, making it effortless for AI agents like Claude Code to invoke sophisticated workflows. Instead of writing one-off scripts scattered across agent skills, we consolidate battle-tested logic into a versioned Python package that AI can invoke with a single uvx command—no installation, no environment pollution, just instant execution.

This approach solves the fundamental challenge of AI tool integration: how to provide powerful, testable, and maintainable utilities without cluttering agent contexts with implementation details. By exposing functionality through clean CLI interfaces (``uvx shai-py project-info``, ``uvx shai-py test-path``), AI agents can focus on orchestration while developers maintain business logic in a single, version-controlled codebase. The result is elegant, reproducible, and scales beautifully from simple project introspection to complex development automation.


Architecture: Subcommand Design Pattern
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This project uses a **Subcommand Delegation Pattern** that cleanly separates business logic from CLI interface, enabling independent testing and maintainability.

**Key Components:**

1. **Subcommand Modules** (``shai_py/subcmd/<subcommand>.py``): Each module implements a single CLI subcommand. The module must define a ``main()`` function containing all business logic. The module-level ``__doc__`` string serves as CLI help text.
2. **CLI Aggregator** (``shai_py/cli.py``): The ``Cli`` class exposes each subcommand as a method that delegates to the corresponding module's ``main()`` function. Method docstrings are inherited from the subcommand module's ``__doc__``.
3. **Test Files** (``tests/subcmd/test_subcmd_<subcommand>.py``): Tests import and invoke the ``main()`` function directly, enabling unit testing without CLI overhead.

**Pattern Benefits:**

- Business logic is testable without CLI framework involvement
- Documentation lives with implementation (single source of truth)
- Adding new subcommands requires only: create module with ``main()``, add method to ``Cli`` class

**Reference Implementation:**

- Subcommand: ``shai_py/subcmd/detect_python_project_metadata.py`` (see ``main()`` function)
- CLI integration: ``shai_py/cli.py`` (see ``Cli.project_info()`` method)
- Test example: ``tests/subcmd/test_subcmd_detect_python_project_metadata.py``
