On this page

A jadpo declines command names no action, one it doesn't have, or a rule or path that isn't the project's.

Area 14, Tools; not declinable; the next step is usually the agent's.

Why Jadpo refuses it

jadpo declines list shows the findings declined with a reason, and clear removes them so each comes back. Clearing is done to the declines you name, so a rule that doesn't exist is refused rather than treated as none.

What it looks like

The rule given to --rule is misspelt:

shell
jadpo declines list --rule type.standard_exist
jadpo declines

error type.standard_exist isn't a rule

reason
Jadpo has no rule type.standard_exist. Did you mean type.standard_exists?
next
Use --rule type.standard_exists (agent)
rule
cli.declines_arguments
help
https://jadpo.dev/docs/errors/cli.declines_arguments

(agent) at the end of the next: line means your coding agent can make the fix itself.

An action it doesn't have is refused with the ones it does:

shell
jadpo declines remove
jadpo declines

error remove isn't something jadpo declines does

reason
jadpo declines can list or clear.
next
Run jadpo declines list to see every decline (agent)
rule
cli.declines_arguments
help
https://jadpo.dev/docs/errors/cli.declines_arguments

How to fix it

If you meant the rule it suggests, use it:

shell
jadpo declines list --rule type.standard_exists

It lists that rule's declines with their reasons.
