I agree. We skipped CLIs and went all the way to TUIs because TUIs are "easy to make now"? Or maybe because claude/codex?
But in practice you are padding token counts of agents reading streams of TUIs instead of leveraging standard unix pipes that have been around from day 1.
TLDR - your agent wants a CLI anyway.
Disclaimer: still a cool project and thank you to the author for sharing.
The TUI makes more sense to humans who don’t understand the difference between a human and a machine.
