# New CLI command
Subcommands should always be preferred over adding more top-level commands.
Code flow for commands is generally:
```
CLI (command/) -> API Client (api/) -> HTTP API (command/agent) -> RPC (nomad/)
```
## Code
* [ ] Consider similar commands in Consul, Vault, and other tools. Is there
prior art we should match? Arguments, flags, env vars, etc?
* [ ] New file in `command/` or in an existing file if a subcommand
* [ ] Test new command in `command/` package
* [ ] Implement autocomplete
* [ ] Implement `-json` (returns raw API response)
* [ ] Implement `-verbose` (expands truncated UUIDs, adds other detail)
* [ ] Update help text
* [ ] Implement and test new HTTP endpoint in `command/agent/<command>_endpoint.go`
* [ ] Register new URL paths in `command/agent/http.go`
* [ ] Implement and test new RPC endpoint in `nomad/<command>_endpoint.go`
* [ ] Implement and test new Client RPC endpoint in
`client/<command>_endpoint.go` (For client endpoints like Filesystem only)
* [ ] Implement and test new `api/` package Request and Response structs
* [ ] Implement and test new `api/` package helper methods
* [ ] Implement and test new `nomad/structs/` package Request and Response structs
