I am new to dotnet core and I have tried to view the help of dotnet cli but does not seem to find an answer. How do we add a new class file to a dotnet core console app from dotnet CLI ?

You can create your own custom templates for dotnet new (tutorial):

A list of samples of varying complexity can be found here....

You didn't ask this but since vscode is a popular C# editor for people using dotnet new, if you happen to be using vscode you can create a new class file by typing e.g.
var myEye = new MyEye { color = "blue" };
Hit 'ctrl+.' over MyEye and select the option to create a new class in a file. You should see it created complete with properties and namespace.
