Add Command

Add CQRS Command

When the user asks to add a new command, scaffold the following files in the correct microservice. Ask which service if ambiguous.

If the command involves non-trivial FluentValidation rules (async validators, cross-field validation, collection rules) or WolverineFx middleware, use context7 to look up the current docs before writing.

Arguments

• {Name} -- Command name in PascalCase (e.g., CreateOrder, AssignRole)
• {Service} -- Target microservice. Ask if ambiguous.

Configuration

Read cloudstack.json from the project root at the start of execution. Extract:

• NAMESPACE = project.namespace (default: detect from *.sln name or first *.csproj root namespace)
• SERVICES = backend.services[] (default: discover from src/*/ directories containing .Application/ subfolders)
• SOLUTION = backend.solutionPath (default: find *.sln in src/)

If cloudstack.json does not exist, auto-detect by scanning the project structure.

Prerequisites

• The target microservice must exist under src/
• An Endpoints file should exist at Host/Endpoints/ (if not, create one)
• If the command operates on an entity that doesn't exist yet, run /add-entity first

1. Command Record (Application/Commands/{CommandName}.cs)

namespace {Namespace}.{Service}.Application.Commands;

public record {Name}Command({parameters});

2. Response Record (same file or Application/Contracts/)

public record {Name}Response({response fields});

3. Handler (Application/Commands/{Name}Handler.cs)

namespace {Namespace}.{Service}.Application.Commands;

public class {Name}Handler
{
    // Constructor-inject repositories and services

    public async Task> Handle({Name}Command command, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        // 1. Validate business rules
        // 2. Create/modify domain entities via factory methods or aggregate methods
        // 3. Persist via repository
        // 4. Return Result.Success or Result.Failure with SCREAMING_SNAKE error code
    }
}

4. Validator (Application/Validators/{Name}Validator.cs)

namespace {Namespace}.{Service}.Application.Validators;

public class {Name}Validator : AbstractValidator
{
    public {Name}Validator()
    {
        // RuleFor(x => x.Field).NotEmpty().WithErrorCode("ERROR_CODE");
    }
}

5. Endpoint (add to existing Host/Endpoints/{Domain}Endpoints.cs)

group.MapPost("/{route}", {Name})
    .WithName("{Name}")
    .WithSummary("...")
    .WithDescription("...")
    .Produces(StatusCodes.Status201Created)
    .ProducesProblem(StatusCodes.Status400BadRequest)
    .ProducesProblem(StatusCodes.Status409Conflict);

private static async Task {Name}(
    [FromBody] {Name}Request request,
    [FromServices] {Name}Handler handler,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
    var command = new {Name}Command(...);
    var result = await handler.Handle(command, cancellationToken);
    return result.ToHttpResult();
}

6. DI Registration

Register the handler in the service's AddInfrastructure or Program.cs:

services.AddScoped();

Checklist

• [ ] Command record is immutable
• [ ] Handler returns Result, no thrown exceptions for business logic
• [ ] Error codes are SCREAMINGSNAKECASE
• [ ] Validator uses FluentValidation
• [ ] Endpoint has OpenAPI metadata (WithName, WithSummary, Produces)
• [ ] Handler registered in DI
• [ ] CancellationToken propagated through all async calls

Output

After scaffolding, report:

## Scaffolded: {Name}Command

Files created/modified:
- `src/{Service}/{Service}.Application/Commands/{Name}Command.cs`
- `src/{Service}/{Service}.Application/Commands/{Name}Handler.cs`
- `src/{Service}/{Service}.Application/Validators/{Name}Validator.cs`
- `src/{Service}/{Service}.Host/Endpoints/{Domain}Endpoints.cs` (modified)
- `src/{Service}/{Service}.Host/Program.cs` or DI registration (modified)

Next: Run `/run-tests` to verify, or `/add-query` if you also need a read endpoint.

Error Handling

• Endpoints file doesn't exist: Create a new {Domain}Endpoints.cs with the route group boilerplate.
• DI registration file not found: Add services.AddScoped() directly to Program.cs.
• Namespace conflicts: Check existing commands in the folder before creating -- prompt the user if a similar command already exists.

Related Skills

• /add-entity if the command creates a new entity type
• /add-event-handler to react to domain events raised by this command
• /add-query if you also need a read endpoint for the same resource
