Claude Code agents were passing `--include-comments true` which oclif rejects as an unexpected argument, since boolean flags are presence-based (--flag or --no-flag). The tool guidance rendered them as `--flag <boolean>` giving the LLM no indication of the correct syntax. - Boolean params now render as `[--flag]` (default false/unset) or `[--no-flag]` (default true, showing how to disable) - Fixes `read-work-item --include-comments true` → UnexpectedArgsError - Add test for boolean flag with default:true rendering Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
