Convention for using CLI tools and environment variables when interacting with third-party services like AWS, Vercel, Supabase, Stripe, GitHub, and Google Cloud. Auto-loads when working with external services, deployments, infrastructure, or API integrations.

When interacting with third-party services, **always prefer CLI tools over web dashboards, REST APIs, or connector plugins.**
When interacting with third-party services, always prefer CLI tools over web dashboards, REST APIs, or connector plugins.
Before making API calls or using SDKs directly, check .env* files for existing credentials and project configuration.
# Check for environment files in this order:
# 1. .env.local , local overrides (gitignored, highest priority)
# 2. .env , shared project defaults
# 3. .env.development / .env.production, environment-specific
Look for:
Never hardcode credentials. If a needed credential isn't in .env*, ask the user to add it rather than creating one.
When these CLIs are available, use them instead of raw API calls:
| Service | CLI | Common Uses |
|---|---|---|
| AWS | aws | S3, Lambda, CloudFormation, IAM, ECR, ECS |
| Vercel | vercel | Deploy, env vars, domains, project settings |
| Supabase | supabase | DB migrations, edge functions, auth config |
| GitHub | gh | Issues, PRs, releases, Actions, repo settings |
| Stripe | stripe | Webhooks, test events, product/price setup |
| Google Cloud | gcloud | Compute, Cloud Run, IAM, storage, pub/sub |
| Firebase | firebase | Hosting, Firestore rules, functions |
| Cloudflare | wrangler | Workers, KV, R2, DNS |

vercel env add MY_SECRET production
# Instead of clicking through AWS console to upload to S3:
aws s3 cp ./dist s3://my-bucket/ --recursive
# Instead of using the Supabase web UI to run a migration:
supabase db push
# Instead of manually creating a GitHub release:
gh release create v1.0.0 --generate-notes
# Instead of configuring Stripe webhooks in the dashboard:
stripe listen --forward-to localhost:3000/api/webhooks
