Better CLI Interactions for Agents and Humans

Pulumi has released an updated version of its Command Line Interface (CLI) designed to enhance usability for both human developers and AI agents, emphasizing guessability, accessibility, and readability. The new CLI structure simplifies command guessing by using singular nouns for branches and verbs from a canonical vocabulary, making it easier to navigate tasks without needing detailed explanations. This reorganization allows users to execute all Pulumi Cloud operations directly from the terminal, providing consistent command naming and output formats. The CLI now supports direct API access without managing separate tokens, streamlining interactions with the Pulumi Cloud. Users can also discover templates directly from the shell and access agent-friendly Markdown documentation for packages and components, reducing verbosity and enhancing efficiency. Additionally, Pulumi Neo, which was previously only available through the Pulumi Cloud Console, is now integrated into the CLI, offering developers a complete terminal-based experience. The release also includes improvements in JSON output handling, consistent exit codes, and enhanced help text, with a sneak peek at a new command, pulumi do, for direct resource operations. Pulumi encourages feedback to continue refining the CLI for both human and agent users.
