Design the CLI Surface

Agent skill
1 skill

Use when designing the ergonomics of a terminal / CLI / builder tool — command and flag design, sensible defaults, inferring arguments instead of demanding flags, box/project-level config, and help/output legibility. The surface is the command line, not a GUI; the same usability discipline applies.
