Success Metrics

CLI Performance Targets

• Command Response: <200ms average command execution time
• File Decomposition: index.ts (108KB) → <10KB per command module
• Interactive UX: Smart prompts with context awareness
• Hook Integration: Deep lifecycle integration with learning
• Workflow Automation: Intelligent multi-step command orchestration
• Auto-completion: >90% accuracy for command suggestions

User Experience Improvements
