Designing UI For CLI

jamie-bitflight/designing-ui-for-cli

Use before any CLI/TUI display code is written, modified, or audited — runs the 7-stage discipline (Context, Register, Shape brief, Implement, Critique, Audit, Polish) for Typer, Rich, Textual, and Questionary work, grounded in per-project PRODUCT.md and DESIGN.TUI.md/DESIGN.md. Triggers on output formatting, display design, interactive prompts, visual consistency, TUI layout, progress display, dashboard design, design audit, design polish, design critique, shape brief, register decision (brand-cli vs product-cli), and AI-slop checks.
