    "incantation": "When creating a cluster, run `bk cluster create` with a name; to change or remove one, run `bk cluster update` or `bk cluster delete` with its UUID. Updates require at least one supported field, and the UUID is a positional argument, not a `--cluster-uuid` flag.",
    "examples": [
      "bk cluster create --name \"<cluster-name>\"",

      "Prerequisite: The CLI must have valid Buildkite configuration; the command validates configuration before running.",
      "Prerequisite: Authenticate and configure the CLI for a Buildkite organization before use.",
      "Docs conflict: The card describes `--cluster-uuid` as a persistent flag. In v3.33.0 source, update and delete take the cluster UUID as a positional argument; no `--cluster-uuid` flag is documented there."
