Thanks, do take it for a spin and file any issues at https://github.com/avamsi/climate/issues!
- climate: a Golang CLI library inspired by python-fire and powered by Cobra -- autogenerates CLIs from structs / functions with support for nested subcommands, global/local flags, help generation, typo suggestions, shell completion and more

I built my first CLI tool
I see you're using Cobra -- https://github.com/avamsi/clifr offers most of the goodness of Cobra (Clifr uses Cobra under the hood) with a much simpler "API" IMO (you just write a struct and Clifr handles the rest). Feel free to give it a try and file issues if there's anything you see missing from Cobra etc.

Args could also have detailed help (like flags) -- usage line is already auto-generated from arg(s) name and type but that's about it. This is something Cobra doesn't do for whatever reason (but https://github.com/alecthomas/kingpin does and I like it)
