# 🎮 Command Framework

KynosLib features an annotation-driven command management system via **`KynosCommand`** that completely eliminates the need for complex `if-else` argument checking and manual permission validation.

#### ✨ Key Features

* 🎯 **Annotation Routing**: Sub-commands are declared using `@SubCommand` directly on top of your methods.
* 🛡️ **Automated Checks**: The framework automatically handles `permission` checks and restricts console execution if `playerOnly = true` is set.
* 🔍 **Smart Tab Completion**: Integrates with custom tab completers to dynamically filter suggestions based on what the sender is allowed to see.

***

#### 💡 Code Example: Creating a Framework Command

To create a new command, extend `KynosCommand` and define your sub-commands using the annotations:

```java
public class MyCustomCommand extends KynosCommand {

    public MyCustomCommand(KynosLib plugin) {
        super(plugin, "mycommand");
    }

    // This runs when a player types just /mycommand (no arguments)
    @Override
    protected boolean execute(CommandSender sender, String[] args) {
        sender.sendMessage("§eWelcome to the main command interface!");
        return true;
    }

    // This runs automatically when typing /mycommand open
    @SubCommand(name = "open", permission = "myplugin.use.gui", playerOnly = true)
    public boolean onOpenMenu(CommandSender sender, String[] args) {
        Player player = (Player) sender;
        player.sendMessage("§aOpening your custom framework menu...");
        return true;
    }
}
```
