The term you're looking for is discoverability, and in my experience it's the most discussed concept when it comes to critiques of text based user interfaces.

Thinking about it - for traditional text based interfaces like a unix shell, perhaps I'd argue that with stackoverflow and google search they became more discoverable than GUI's.

And perhaps even more with LLMs.

ie it's easier to find out how to do X in bash and cut and paste the solution than watch a video on which series of things to click.

Not sure how that extends to specific chat interfaces - can you ask the general models how best to use specific chat from ends over specific tools?
