How do I go about designing a CLI for which others can write extensions?

• Cargo

  75 11,213 9.8 Rust

  The Rust package manager

  

  You can see how others have created subcommands here.

• mdBook

  34 15,378 0.0 Rust

  Create book from markdown files. Like Gitbook but implemented in Rust

  

  Rust's mdBook is built this way, sorta, but the extensibility pieces are built into the binary. In other words, files in the src/cmd folder stand alone (with some minor pointering in mod.rs). I'd like to see something that has true, OS-path extensibility.
