Add -t/--text option to generate and image commands as alternative to --input file. Enables: - Quick one-off generations without temp files - Long multi-line prompts via shell quoting - Template variables work with text input Changes: - Add --text option to GenerateArgs and ImageArgs - Validate mutually exclusive --input/--text (one required) - Update generate_output_filename to handle no input file - Add comprehensive documentation in help --full - Add specs/text-input.md specification - Add test_cases/text_input.md smoke tests - Add unit tests for CLI parsing with --text
Simplify input handling by using single --input option that auto-detects: - If value exists as file path: reads from file - Otherwise: uses value as direct prompt text Removes separate --text option in favor of unified approach. Updates specs, test cases, help documentation, and unit tests.
Input can now be provided as positional arg or -i flag: trickery generate "Write a haiku" trickery generate -i "Write a haiku" Both work identically with auto-detection of file vs text. Updates help, specs, test cases, and unit tests.
- Add value_name="INPUT" to show [INPUT] instead of [INPUT_POSITIONAL] - Add override_usage to show [INPUT] before [OPTIONS] in usage line
Replace -i flag with positional argument syntax throughout: - README.md and prompts/trickery_readme.md - docs/images.md and docs/image-generation.md - specs/text-input.md - All test case files - src/main.rs help examples Positional is now the preferred syntax, with -i kept for backwards compatibility only.

## What Add support for direct text input to `generate` and `image` commands without requiring a file. Input can now be provided as: - Positional argument: `trickery generate "Your prompt here"` - Flag argument: `trickery generate -i "Your prompt here"` - File path (existing behavior): `trickery generate prompt.txt` The input is auto-detected: if the value is an existing file path, it reads the file; otherwise, it treats it as direct text. ## Why Users often want to run quick one-off prompts without creating temporary files. This is especially useful in CI/CD pipelines and shell scripts where inline prompts are more convenient. ## How - Added `resolve_input()` function that checks if input path exists (reads file) or not (uses as text) - Implemented dual input capture with positional and `-i` flag arguments - Updated `generate_output_filename()` to handle text input (defaults to "image" stem) - Added `override_usage` for cleaner help display showing `[INPUT] [OPTIONS]` ## Risk - Low - Existing file-based workflows unchanged; auto-detection only falls back to text if path doesn't exist ### Checklist - [x] Unit tests are passed - [x] Smoke tests are passed - [x] Documentation is updated (specs/text-input.md, test_cases/text_input.md) --------- Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
