The abbreviation 'e.g.' is missing a period. It should be 'e.g.' with a period after 'g'.

Suggested change

	e.g xcopy ..\engineering-team-agents\.claude\* .\ /E /I /H

The 'os' module is imported but never used in the script. Consider removing this unused import to keep the code clean.

Suggested change

import os

The 'List' type from typing is imported but never used in the script. Consider removing this unused import to keep the code clean.

Suggested change

The copy_directory method uses shutil.rmtree without confirmation when the target directory exists. This could lead to unintended data loss if a user accidentally targets an existing directory. Consider adding user confirmation before deleting existing directories, or using a safer approach like merging contents or failing with an error message.

Suggested change

	"""Copy a directory recursively with error handling."""
	try:
	if target_dir.exists():
	"""Copy a directory recursively with error handling and confirmation before deleting existing target."""
	try:
	if target_dir.exists():
	response = input(f"⚠️ Target directory '{target_dir}' already exists. Delete and replace it? [y/N]: ").strip().lower()
	if response != 'y':
	print(f"❌ Skipping copy of {source_dir} to {target_dir}.")
	return False

Using glob('') only checks for top-level items and will miss hidden files and directories (those starting with a dot). This means the script won't detect existing .git, .github, or .claude directories, potentially causing unexpected overwrites. Consider using iterdir() or glob('**/', recursive=True) to include hidden files, or explicitly check for important hidden directories.

Suggested change

	existing_files = list(target_path.glob('*'))
	existing_files = list(target_path.iterdir())

The manual check for sys.argv length is unnecessary and creates inconsistent behavior. The argparse library will automatically handle missing required arguments and display help. This check will prevent argparse from showing its standard error messages when arguments are missing. Consider removing this manual check to rely on argparse's built-in behavior.

Suggested change

	if len(sys.argv) < 2:
	parser.print_help()
	return 1
