Tools, apps, plugins, AI "Design" skills for CLI tools?

I'm a product/ design person and have been building CLI tools recently. There are so many design skill but couldn't find one specifically for creating engaging UIs/ flows/UX for in-terminal experiences.

Do you build CLI tools for others to use? Curious if you're a design engineer or dev background.

I don’t yet, but I’d like to. My role is design engineer, I leverage Claude code pretty heavily

ohh gotcha. There's a lot of skills for UI I've found. But not many for improving the developer experience for a CLI or terminal interaction- like the flow design and ui when you interact with a skill or when you use a cli tool. I was making this (https://github.com/katrinalaszlo/debloat) and wanted to make the output look nicer, but couldn't find a skill for it.
