I don't understand why is it more effective than the manual lookup... If a certain cli tool has hundreds of arguments from which I need certain 2, I would rather open documentation and man pages in the `less` tool rather than scroll an infinite form. If a certain cli tool has just the arguments I need, then I know all of them already (or I can recall em in a few seconds from ctrl+r)



I haven't looked at the schema but it might do better when limiting you to certain choices.

For example, there might be a frequency option whose value can be either annual or monthly. If this was communicated correctly in a man page then it's still possible for someone to typo that as monttly.

They'd pick it up if the error reporting is good, but having the options in a tui should prevent such issues.
