DIAMONDCLI — Build Command Lines Like a BOSS

DiamondCLI is a Python library that lets you create global Windows commands using simple Python scripts.
It behaves like a tiny custom operating system inside your user folder.

---

What DiamondCLI Does

When installed, DiamondCLI automatically creates:

C:\Users\<your username>\dcli

This folder becomes your command center.
Any .py script you drop inside it becomes a runnable command.

Example:

dcli run notif

Boom — your Python command runs globally from ANY directory.

---

Setting Up the Global dcli Command

To make dcli a real Windows command, you need two files inside your dcli folder:

1. dcli.bat

This ensures Windows can run the launcher even if .py files aren’t associated with Python.

Create:

C:\Users\<your username>\dcli\dcli.bat

Put this inside:

@echo off
python "%~dp0dcli.py" %*

2. dcli.py

This is the actual launcher that loads your command scripts.

Create:

C:\Users\<your username>\dcli\dcli.py

Put this inside:

import sys
import os
import importlib.util
import diamondcli
import getpass

USERNAME = getpass.getuser()
SCRIPTS_DIR = fr"C:\Users\{USERNAME}\dcli"

def load_scripts():
    if not os.path.isdir(SCRIPTS_DIR):
        print(f"[dcli] Script directory not found: {SCRIPTS_DIR}")
        return

    for filename in os.listdir(SCRIPTS_DIR):
        if filename.endswith(".py"):
            path = os.path.join(SCRIPTS_DIR, filename)
            mod_name = filename[:-3]

            spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location(mod_name, path)
            module = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
            spec.loader.exec_module(module)

def main():
    load_scripts()
    diamondcli.core.cli_main(sys.argv[1:])

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

This launcher:

• detects the user’s real Windows username
• loads every .py script in the dcli folder
• registers commands
• runs them globally

---

Add the Folder to PATH

Open Environment Variables → Path → Edit → New
Add:

C:\Users\<your username>\dcli

Press OK on everything.

Restart CMD or PowerShell.

---

Test It

Run:

dcli

If you see:

[diamondcli] No arguments. Usage: dcli run <command>

You did everything right.

Now create a script:

C:\Users\<your username>\dcli\test.py

Put this inside:

import diamondcli as dcli
from diamondcli import *

@dcli.command("test")
def test():
    log("Test command started")
    shownotif("DiamondCLI Test", "Your test command is working!", duration=5)
    log("Test command finished")
    end()

Run it:

dcli run test

You now have a real global command powered by Python.

---

Summary

• DiamondCLI auto‑creates your command folder
• You add a launcher + batch wrapper
• You add the folder to PATH
• You drop Python scripts inside
• You run them globally with dcli run <command>

You just built your own mini command‑line operating system.
