A classic issue of AI generated READMEs. Never to the point, always repetitive and verbose

Funnily, AI already knows what stereotypical AI sounds like, so when I tell Claude to write a README but "make it not sounds like AI, no buzzwords, to the point, no repetition, but also don't overdo it, keep it natural" it does a very decent job.

Actually drastically improves any kind of writing by AI, even if just for my own consumption.

I'm not saying it is or isn't written by an LLM, but, Yegge writes a lot and usually well. It somehow seems unlikely he'd outsource the front page to AI, even if he's a regular user of AI for coding and code docs.

And full of marketing hyperbole. When I have an AI produce a README I always have to ask it to tone it down and keep it factual.

This looks like a ticketing cli

That's exactly what this is, but it's one that's designed with coding agents in mind as its principle users.
