Reminds me of Vercel's Rauch talking about his aggressive 'any UX mistake is our fault, never the user's' model for evaluating UIX. (It is/was Guillermo who says that, right?)

It's a CLI. CLIs have man pages and cheat sheets. That's not a UX failure, that's the format. The same argument would apply to git, ripgrep, or ffmpeg.

The actual complexity in Claude Code isn't the commands, it's figuring out a workflow that works for your codebase. CLAUDE.md files, hooks, MCP servers, custom skills. Once you have that set up the daily usage is just typing what you want done.

Similar to prompting hacks to produce better results. If the machine we built for taking dumb input that will transform it into an answer needs special structuring around the input then it's not doing a good job at taking dumb input.

it doesn't need to exist, its all in claudes help, and easily discoverable.

Interesting set of shortcuts and slash commands.

This. TUIs are not the correct paradigm for agentic operations. They are too constrained, and too linear.

You have a sad narrow point of view about what UX can be.
