I had the same thought when I was dog fooding a CLI tool I've been vibe coding. It's a CLI for deploying Docker apps on any server. An here is the exact PR "I" did.

https://github.com/elitan/lightform/pull/35

One of the advantages of vibe coding CLI tools like this is that it's easy for the AI to debug itself, and it's easy to see where it gets stuck.

And it usually gets stuck because of:

1. Errors 2. Don't know what command to run

So:

1. Errors must be clear and *actionable* like `app_port` ("8080") is a string, expected a number. 2. The command should have simple, actionable and complete help (`--help`) sections for all commands.



Sounds like it applies to humans using CLIs as well.


For sure.
