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 | +------------------------+ ``

1. 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 | ``

1. Highlight critical flags

- Use * or uppercase label; footnotes for risky commands.

1. Add legend + context

- Explain placeholders (<branch>), environment setups.

1. 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.
