# `klaw completion`

Generate shell completion scripts and optionally install them into your shell profile.

## Usage

```bash
klaw completion
klaw completion --shell zsh
klaw completion --install
klaw completion --shell fish --install
klaw completion --write-state
klaw completion --shell bash --write-state
```

## Options

- `-s, --shell <shell>`: shell target (`zsh`, `bash`, `powershell`, `fish`; default: `zsh`)
- `-i, --install`: install completion by adding a source line to your shell profile
- `--write-state`: write completion script(s) to `$KLAW_STATE_DIR/completions` without printing to stdout
- `-y, --yes`: skip install confirmation prompts

## Notes

- `--install` writes a small "Klaw Completion" block into your shell profile and points it at the cached script.
- Without `--install` or `--write-state`, the command prints the script to stdout.
- Completion generation eagerly loads command trees so nested subcommands are included.
