CLI Cheat Sheet ASCII Panels

Intent

• Provide glanceable command guides embedded in skills, PRs, or READMEs.
• Keep macOS/Linux and Windows variants side by side for parity.

Inputs

1. Task categories (setup, sync, review, deploy).
2. Command variants (bash/zsh vs PowerShell/CMD).
3. Notes on flags, prerequisites, environment vars.

Workflow

1. Select layout
   • Use table-like boxes:

     +------------------------+
     | Action | macOS | Win  |
     +------------------------+
     

2. Populate commands
   • Keep lines ≤ 70 chars; escape PowerShell variables properly.
   • Example row:

     | Clone | gh repo clone org/repo ~/code | gh repo clone org/repo $env:USERPROFILE\code |
     

3. Highlight critical flags
   • Use * or uppercase label; footnotes for risky commands.
4. Add legend + context
   • Explain placeholders (<branch>), environment setups.
5. Reuse
   • Store panels in .factory/cheatsheets/<topic>.txt and link from relevant skills.

Verification

• Panels align properly in fixed-width fonts (test in GH preview).
• Include both macOS/Linux and Windows commands where relevant.
• Commands tested recently; update date noted in panel footer.
