feat(cli): add t and w aliases for translate and write - #110
Merged
Conversation
Community request #12. The aliases show up in --help and in bash/zsh/fish completion output; the completion generator now walks command aliases and resolves alias names back to the aliased command for descriptions. w is deliberately assigned to write over watch — write is a primary API feature, watch a workflow helper — and v/s aliases were considered and deferred. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary

tandwas short aliases fortranslateandwrite, the two most-used commands — community request #12.Changes Made
register-translate.ts/register-write.ts— one-line.alias()on each command registration; commander surfaces the aliases in--helpautomatically (translate|t,write|w)completion.ts— the shell-completion generator now includes command aliases as top-level completions in bash/zsh/fish, and resolves alias names back to the aliased command so zsh/fish show the real descriptiondocs/API.mdsynopses for translate/write show the alias form; README quick-start gets adeepl texample; CHANGELOG entry under AddedDesign decision
wis deliberately assigned to write over watch: write is a primary API feature, watch a workflow helper. Reassigning a shipped alias later would be a breaking change, so this is worth a conscious call now.v(voice) ands(sync) were considered and deferred:vreads like a version query and voice is not a hot path; sync lives mostly in CI scripts where spelled-out commands are preferable. Adding aliases later is additive (minor bump), so deferral costs nothing.Test Coverage
wdispatch proven to invoke the write action; completion generator alias output asserted for all three shellscli-aliases.e2e.test.ts, 10 tests):t --help/w --helprender the aliased command's help; alias dispatch reaches command-specific validation (--tm-threshold,--formatchoices); unknown-option failures have identical exit codes via alias and full name; top-level--helplists both aliases; bash/zsh/fish completions offer themtranslate|t [options] [text])Backward Compatibility
✅ Purely additive — no existing command, flag, or output changes. Ships in any 2.x minor.
