CLI Reference

This section documents the current Nautilus CLI surface.

Top-level help currently reports:

Command group	Purpose
generate	Generate client code from a schema file
validate	Validate a schema file without generating code
format	Format a .nautilus file in place
db	Database management commands
migrate	Versioned migration commands
engine	Engine runtime commands
python	Python shim install/uninstall
studio	Nautilus Studio lifecycle management

Common CLI Rules

• --schema is optional on schema-based commands because Nautilus auto-detects the first .nautilus file in the current directory
• --database-url overrides datasource connection settings
• generation behavior is target-specific and can be adjusted with --no-install
