.SYNOPSIS
Creates a new GenXdev PowerShell cmdlet with proper structure and validation.
 
.DESCRIPTION
Creates a new PowerShell cmdlet following GenXdev standards, including parameter
validation, help documentation, and proper verb-noun naming convention. Validates
the verb against approved PowerShell verbs and ensures proper casing of both verb
and noun components. Can integrate new cmdlets into existing module structures.
 
.PARAMETER CmdletName
The name of the cmdlet to create. Must follow the Verb-Noun format using an
approved PowerShell verb.
 
.PARAMETER Synopsis
A brief description of the cmdlet's purpose for help documentation.
 
.PARAMETER Description
A detailed description of what the cmdlet does for help documentation.
 
.PARAMETER ModuleName
The name of the base GenXdev module to integrate the cmdlet into.
Must match pattern GenXdev or GenXdev.SubModule.
 
.PARAMETER ModuleName
The name of the specific GenXdev submodule to integrate the cmdlet into.
Must match pattern GenXdev.SubModule.Component.
 
.PARAMETER CmdletAliases
One or more aliases for the cmdlet. Accepts an array of strings.
 
.PARAMETER PromptKey
The AI prompt key used to select a template for generating the cmdlet content.
Defaults to "NewGenXdevCmdLet".
 
.PARAMETER Prompt
Custom AI prompt text to guide the generation of the cmdlet content.
 
.PARAMETER EditPrompt
When specified, only opens the AI prompt for editing without creating the cmdlet.
 
.EXAMPLE
New-GenXdevCmdlet -CmdletName "Get-SystemInfo" -Synopsis "Gets system information" `
    -Description "Retrieves detailed system information" -ModuleName "GenXdev.System"
 
.EXAMPLE
gcmd Get-SystemInfo -EditPrompt
