Usage Specification introduces a new standard for defining command-line interfaces using KDL format, similar to OpenAPI for APIs. It enables automatic generation of documentation, autocompletion scripts, and cross-language CLI framework support. The project aims to streamline CLI development by providing a unified specification format.
Background
CLI tools often require manual implementation of features like autocompletion and documentation, which can be inconsistent across different programming languages. Existing solutions lack standardized specification formats comparable to OpenAPI for web APIs.
