I think the point is that I don't have to remember the command. I just have to tell my agent in plain-English to do X.

For example, we're dragging our feet on Github Config as Terraform at our org so in the meantime I've been using Claude + the gh cli to deploy changes across repos. I don't need to know / remember the gh cli command to pull or push a ruleset, or script a loop in Bash, I just have to say

> Claude pull the ruleset from <known good repo> and push it to <repo 1>, <repo 2>, <repo 3>

The CLI is also nice because it abstracts away authentication. I have another flow which doesn't have a CLI and Claude is more than happy to interpolate the API key that it read from a config file into the chat history (horrifying).

Yeah but you can waste $10-50 having an LLM do that for you instead rather than using your engineering experience to do it. Think of the shareholder value!
