################################################################################ <# .SYNOPSIS Creates a new GenXdev PowerShell cmdlet with proper structure and validation. .DESCRIPTION Creates a new PowerShell cmdlet following GenXdev standards, including parameter validation, help documentation, and proper verb-noun naming convention. Validates the verb against approved PowerShell verbs and ensures proper casing of both verb and noun components. Can integrate new cmdlets into existing module structures. .PARAMETER CmdletName The name of the cmdlet to create. Must follow the Verb-Noun format using an approved PowerShell verb. .PARAMETER Synopsis A brief description of the cmdlet's purpose for help documentation. .PARAMETER Description A detailed description of what the cmdlet does for help documentation. .PARAMETER BaseModuleName The name of the base GenXdev module to integrate the cmdlet into. Must match pattern GenXdev or GenXdev.SubModule. .PARAMETER ModuleName The name of the specific GenXdev submodule to integrate the cmdlet into. Must match pattern GenXdev.SubModule.Component. .PARAMETER CmdletAliases One or more aliases for the cmdlet. Accepts an array of strings. .PARAMETER PromptKey The AI prompt key used to select a template for generating the cmdlet content. Defaults to "NewGenXdevCmdLet". .PARAMETER Prompt Custom AI prompt text to guide the generation of the cmdlet content. .PARAMETER EditPrompt When specified, only opens the AI prompt for editing without creating the cmdlet. .EXAMPLE New-GenXdevCmdlet -CmdletName "Get-SystemInfo" -Synopsis "Gets system information" ` -Description "Retrieves detailed system information" -ModuleName "GenXdev.System" .EXAMPLE gcmd Get-SystemInfo -EditPrompt #> function New-GenXdevCmdlet { [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess)] [Alias("gcmd")] param ( ######################################################################## [Alias("cmd")] [parameter( Mandatory = $true, Position = 0, ValueFromPipeline = $true, ValueFromPipelineByPropertyName = $true, HelpMessage = "The name of the cmdlet to create (must use approved verb)" )] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string] $CmdletName, ######################################################################## [Parameter( Position = 1, Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "A brief description of the cmdlet's purpose" )] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string] $Synopsis = "todo: A brief description of the cmdlet's purpose", ######################################################################## [Parameter( Position = 2, Mandatory = $false, HelpMessage = "A detailed description of what the cmdlet does" )] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string] $Description = "todo: [A detailed description of what the cmdlet does]", ######################################################################## [Parameter( Mandatory = $false, Position = 3, HelpMessage = "Integrate the new cmdlet into an existing GenXdev module" )] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidatePattern("^(GenXdev|GenXdev(\.\w+)+)+$")] [string] $BaseModuleName, ######################################################################## [Parameter( Mandatory = $false, Position = 4, HelpMessage = "Integrate the new cmdlet into an existing GenXdev sub module" )] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [ValidatePattern("^(GenXdev(\.\w+)+)+$")] [string] $ModuleName, ######################################################################## [parameter( Mandatory = $false, Position = 5, HelpMessage = "One or more aliases for the cmdlet.
