Exactly. Talking in plain English is a lot less mental overhead than reading the man page and figuring out the right command. Nowadays I just use AI instead of remembering ffmpeg commands too. Your point about authentication is important too.

What the hell am I reading, you guys know you can make little scripts for commands with prefilled options or even take in parameters?

That's what the coding agent does if you ask it to record a skill. Yes I can do that manually. But I'll get it wrong a few times before I get it right and waste half an hour in the documentation, if I'm lucky.

Or I just go, "I just created this cloudflare domain. Deploy the site via gh actions to cloudlare pages whenever I push to main. here are my credentials; put them in Github secrets." Or something similarly high level.

The clever thing here is not doing things manually but make sure you generate automation and scripts if you are going to do the same things more often along with skill files detailing how and when to call shit.
