There are some options but it depends on your language/stack. If your stack is Go, you can try cobra-cli, but I think you will need to wire auth yourself.

For Node, Oclif for sure! Covers plugins, auto-update, and some telemetry hooks... I think the closest thing that you are looking for.

I would recommend oclif if you're using node

It has pretty much everything you're looking for. Feel free to ask me any question. I maintained the project for several years

Thanks a lot for your work on oclif!

What I was looking for is something like a framework + service. Imagine the equivalent of netx.js + vercel but for CLIs instead of for full stack apps. oclif seems to be only a great framework afaik.

as usage of CLIs increases I wonder whether there will be a need for a service that provides everything that developers of CLIs need (auth, telemetry, releases, ...). Something like what Vercel is today for full stack apps. Are you aware of anything along those lines?
