Conversation
Implement "desire paths" design pattern to make the CLI more intuitive for AI agents by implementing common command patterns agents naturally try to use. Changes: - Add singular command aliases (user, chat, message, space) - Add single-letter abbreviations (u, c, m, s, a, n, t) - Add top-level shortcuts (login, logout, me, whoami, send, search) - Add name-to-ID resolution (--chat "name", --to "username") - Add flag aliases (--message/--msg for --text, --user for --to) - Add _meta object to JSON output for pagination (has_more, next_offset_id) - Improve error messages with helpful hints and suggestions - Update SKILL.md with quick reference for all shortcuts

Not merging this PR directly; we implemented a focused subset of the CLI ergonomics ideas (shortcuts/aliases, clap validation, agent-friendly errors, raw JSON policy) in follow-up commits. |
