Summary

  • Documents the viam machines create command for creating new machines
  • Documents the viam machines update command for renaming and moving machines
  • Documents the viam machines delete command for deleting machines

Context

The Viam CLI added support for these machine management commands a month or two ago, but the documentation at https://docs.viam.com/dev/tools/cli/ was not updated to reflect these additions. This PR brings the docs in sync with the current CLI capabilities.

Changes

  • Added description of create, update, and delete commands to the machines section intro
  • Added usage syntax and examples for the three new commands
  • Added command option entries in the reference table
  • Updated named arguments table with required flags and their descriptions

Test plan

  • Verified commands exist in CLI with viam machines --help
  • Confirmed documentation follows existing pattern for other commands
  • Checked that all required arguments are documented

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The CLI added support for creating, updating, and deleting machines via

This change adds:
- Description of the new commands in the machines section intro
- Usage syntax and examples for create, update, and delete
- Command option entries in the reference table
