You should check out http://node-machine.org/implementing for an in-depth tutorial, but here are a few highlights:
# open generated manpage on node-machine.org in your browser of choice mp browse # run a machine # (theres an interactive prompt- you'll get to choose from a list, then be prompted to provide values for required inputs) # (supports json entry and validation, re-running using command-line flags, and protects inputs marked as "protected" so they don't show up in your bash history) mp exec # clean everything up: (re)scaffold JSON test files, (re)generate readme using latest metadata, make sure repo url is in package.json, etc. mp scrub # list machines (useful for remembering wtf you're doing) mp ls # add new machine w/ identity="do-some-stuff" and start interactive prompt to get the rest of the necessary info mp add do-some-stuff # copy machine (useful for quickly creating similar machines) mp cp foo bar # rename machine (useful for fixing misspellings) mp mv initiate-denk-party initiate-dance-partyAbout 
This CLI tool is just sugar on top of the machine specification. That said, it helps a lot, and if you're building a pack, I highly recommend checking it out.
