Invocation template
Created the  template to be exclusively used to display root command invocation options.

This template can provide people with a web-based reference that can be expanded or contracted based on a single click by the user. Helpful for online command referencing and convenient so that editors do not have to specify a custom prompt and color when a root prompt is necessary to invoke the command.
