CLI UX Doc Genarator
Example session with this skill installed
Audit this CLI concept for a cloud storage tool: 'stow upload [file]', 'stow get [id]', 'stow rm [id]'. It needs a flag for destination folder and a way to handle auth failures.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the cli ux doc
- Generated the UI component
I have audited the 'stow' CLI concept. The current structure is functional but lacks consistency in verb usage and destination handling.
CLI UX Audit & Design
| Level | Name | Purpose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tool | stow | Cloud storage management | Entry point |
| Action | upload | Send local file to cloud | Needs --path or --dir |
| Action | download | Retrieve file by ID | Renamed from 'get' for verb consistency |
| Action | remove | Delete cloud file | Renamed from 'rm' for clarity; needs safety |
Command Design: Upload
stow upload <file>
- Flags:
-d, --dir <path>(Destination directory),-f, --force(Overwrite existing) - Output: Returns the generated File ID and public URL on success.
Error Message Designer: Auth Failure
Error: Authentication expired or invalid.
Cause: The local token in ~/.stow/config is missing or has been revoked by the server.
Action: Run stow login to refresh your credentials.
Error: Not authenticated.
Try:
stow login
UX Improvements
- Verb Consistency: Use
downloadinstead ofgetto match theuploadaction. - Destructive Safety: Implement a
--dry-runflag for theremovecommand. - Global Flags: Add
--jsonto all commands for easier scripting in automation tasks.
Next steps
- Define the
stow loginworkflow and credential storage. - Standardize exit codes (e.g., Code 1 for Auth Failure, Code 2 for Missing Files).
- Draft the help text for the
stow downloadcommand.

About this skill
The problem
Building a CLI is easy, but designing one that feels intuitive is difficult. Most developers end up with inconsistent flag naming, confusing command hierarchies, and cryptic error messages that stall user progress.
What it does
- Audits existing command-line interfaces for naming consistency, discoverability, and automation friendliness.
- Generates structured command specifications including positional arguments, short/long flags, and default values.
- Drafts actionable error messages that explain the cause and provide specific recovery steps.
- Builds comprehensive CLI documentation packs covering quick starts, common workflows, and exit code schemes.
- Designs output hierarchies for normal, verbose, quiet, and structured machine-readable modes.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
General LLMs often suggest generic help text or inconsistent flag patterns. This tool applies specific CLI UX modes to ensure your interface follows industry standards for predictability and safety, especially for destructive operations.
Use cases
- Design a logical command hierarchy for a new DevOps tool from scratch.
- Audit a legacy CLI to identify duplicate concepts and naming conflicts.
- Standardize error handling and exit codes across a microservices toolset.
- Create machine-readable output specs for integration into CI/CD pipelines.
Known limitations
This skill focuses on design and documentation only. It does not generate the underlying implementation code or logic for your application.
