This pull request updates the short descriptions for all CLI commands in the cmd package to provide clearer and more user-friendly explanations of each command's purpose and usage. The changes focus on making the help output more descriptive and actionable for users.

Improvements to command descriptions:

Model artifact management commands:

  • Updated attach, build, extract, fetch, inspect, list, prune, pull, push, rm, tag, and upload command descriptions to more clearly explain their functionality and expected usage, replacing generic text with concise, user-focused explanations. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]

Registry authentication commands:

  • Improved descriptions for login and logout commands to directly state their purpose ("Login to a registry" and "Logout from a registry"). [1] [2]

Root command description:

  • Clarified the root modctl command description to reference the "ModelPack Specification" instead of the previous "Model Format Specification".

Code Review

This pull request is a good step towards improving the CLI's usability by making command descriptions more informative. While many descriptions are improved, several are overly verbose for a 'short' description, contain minor grammatical errors, or use passive language. I've provided specific suggestions to make these descriptions more concise, active, and clear, which is standard practice for CLI help text. These changes will help ensure the help output is as user-friendly as possible.
