StrokkCommands is a very simple and lightweight compile-time library for generating Brigadier command trees from annotation! It is written for the Paper server software and fully supports all arguments exposed in the API.

Here is a pretty typical Brigadier command:

public static LiteralCommandNode<CommandSourceStack> create() {
    return Commands.literal("fillblock")
        .then(Commands.argument("pos1", ArgumentTypes.blockPosition())
            .then(Commands.argument("pos2", ArgumentTypes.blockPosition())
                .then(Commands.argument("state", ArgumentTypes.blockState())
                    .executes(ctx -> {
                        // fill blocks with default perTick value
                        return Command.SINGLE_SUCCESS;
                    })
    
                    .then(Commands.argument("perTick", IntegerArgumentType.integer())
                        .executes(ctx -> {
                            // fill blocks with specified perTick value
                            return Command.SINGLE_SUCCESS;
                        })
                    )
                )
            )
        )
        .build();
}

This is really hard to read. In order to combat this, I've created StrokkCommands. This is the same command, but declared using annotations (and the abuse of some Java language features):

@Command("fillblock")
record FillBlockCommand(BlockPosition pos1, BlockPosition pos2, BlockState state) {

    @Executes
    void execute(CommandSender sender) {
        execute(sender, 1000);
    }

    @Executes
    void execute(CommandSender sender, int perTick) {
        // fill blocks with specified perTick value
    }
}

Whoah, that's so much shorter! I hope this makes the use case of this library very clear, so jump right in by adding the dependency and creating your own tiny commands.

StrokkCommands and cloud both solve completely different problems: Whilst cloud primarily markets itself as a full-blown command framework, StrokkCommands simply allows a developer to generate Brigadier trees. It does not handle any complex logic expected from a conventional framework. It does not extend the feature set of Brigadier in any way, only providing quality of life improvements to the existing system.

The primary reason for StrokkCommands existence is the lack of an ultra-lightweight Brigadier command library which simply takes away the complexity from Brigadier. For many developers, the feature set of most command frameworks is just not required and just increases your plugin jar's file size for very little reasons.
