The theme commands have been migrated to use the modern StandardFlagParser infrastructure, bringing them in line with other Atmos commands.

For Atmos Contributors​

This change has zero user impact but improves internal code consistency. The theme commands now use the same flag parsing pattern as terraform, helmfile, and packer commands.

What Changed​

The theme commands have been migrated to use the StandardFlagParser pattern, enabling environment variable support and consistent flag precedence across all Atmos commands.

Usage​

# Use environment variable
export ATMOS_THEME_RECOMMENDED=true
atmos theme list

# CLI flag overrides environment variable
atmos theme list --recommended=false

Benefits​

  • Environment variable support: Set ATMOS_THEME_RECOMMENDED=true to filter recommended themes
  • Flag precedence: CLI flags > environment variables > config files > defaults
  • Consistency: Same pattern as terraform, helmfile, and packer commands
  • Type safety: Removed global variables in favor of type-safe options structs
