I built a CLI so I'd stop typing ImageMagick flags wrong.

TL;DR: A developer built a CLI tool to avoid misremembering ImageMagick flags. The goal was to stop typing incorrect flags and streamline usage. Struggling to recall ImageMagick flags, the author created a custom CLI to simplify commands like magick mogrify -path out -format... and reduce errors. The story highlights the friction of remembering complex CLI options and a pragmatic solution through tooling. It suggests opportunities for better workflows or alternative tools to manage command-line flags. The takeaway is that building domain-specific CLIs can improve accuracy and speed for repetitive tasks. Question for the room: What custom CLI or helper have you built to tame complex CLI flags in your workflow? — via dev.to
