    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

    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

    LevelNamePurposeNotes
    ToolstowCloud storage managementEntry point
    ActionuploadSend local file to cloudNeeds --path or --dir
    ActiondownloadRetrieve file by IDRenamed from 'get' for verb consistency
    ActionremoveDelete cloud fileRenamed 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    Cause: The local token in ~/.stow/config is missing or has been revoked by the server.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

    1. Verb Consistency: Use download instead of get to match the upload action.
    2. Destructive Safety: Implement a --dry-run flag for the remove command.
    3. Global Flags: Add --json to all commands for easier scripting in automation tasks.

    Next steps

    • Define the stow login workflow 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 download command.

    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.

    Focuses on UX design and documentation. Does not generate implementation code. Requires user-provided context for existing behaviors to avoid inventing commands.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    This skill provides a comprehensive CLI design pack, including audited command hierarchies, standardized flag naming, actionable error messages, and structured documentation templates tailored for both human and machine readability.

    While the skill provides the conceptual blueprints and documentation for your CLI, it focuses on design and UX architecture; it does not generate the underlying functional code or implementation logic for your application.

    Absolutely. The skill is designed to audit legacy tools to identify naming conflicts and inconsistent flags, providing you with a migration path to a more predictable and standardized interface.

    Yes, one of the core features is designing specific output hierarchies for verbose, quiet, and machine-readable (JSON/YAML) modes to ensure your tool integrates seamlessly into automated environments.

    This skill is a prompt-engineered configuration compatible with most major LLM-based agents; once purchased, you can import the skill set into your preferred workspace to begin the design process.

    The CLI UX Doc Generator follows industry-standard POSIX and GNU coding conventions to ensure your tool feels familiar to experienced developers and maintains high safety standards for destructive operations.
