# New unc CLI interface

unc CLI is built for:
- **unc dApp developers**, who build smart-contracts, UIs, and tooling on unc.
- **Tech-savvy people** automating their routines.
- **Validators**

unc CLI is using extensions to satisfy all groups of users.
- **Core unc CLI** commands should be usefull for all groups of users.
- **Extensions** are used by a particular group or several groups of users.
- **Core unc CLI** is a single binary, there is no extensions that are installed *by default*.
- Each extension is a separate binary that can be installed and executed from **unc CLI**.
- **Core unc CLI** extensions system only allows to introduce top-level commands through its design.


unc CLI UX principles:
- All altering actions should have a confirmation step with an option to skip confirmation with an explicit command line parameter (e.g. `send` at the end of the command)
- All direct children commands of a single parent command should be aligned (either represent an action or a resource, but never a mix of those on the same hierarchy level): `contract` -> `state` (resource) and `contract` -> `deploy` (action) are not aligned, so it should be either `contract` -> `get-state` + `contract` -> `deploy` or `contract` -> `state` -> `view` + `contract` -> `code` -> `deploy`
- Interactive mode should look like: `command - description`. It will help people to learn the commands.

### Top-level `Core unc CLI` flags
```txt
--verbose (print all available error info)
--json (show answer in json format)
--scripting (turn off interactive mode)
```

## Extensions
Extensions design is a work in progress. They are here mostly to show that we haven't forgotten about particular functionality and that this functionality will not be a part of `Core unc CLI`.

### `developer` extension
