+Fatcat CLI Client
+===================
+
+    fatcat get release_awuvsvwrwzev7jcljyo34r6gem
+    fatcat get --toml release_awuvsvwrwzev7jcljyo34r6gem
+
+    fatcat search containers "elife"
+    => pretty prints in terminal/interactive; JSON rows in ES schema for non-interactive
+    => limit, offset
+
+Editing commands:
+
+    fatcat editgroup new
+
+    fatcat editgroup list
+    fatcat eg list
+
+    fatcat update container_tupsi5ep7bhhraup4irzk6tpuy publisher="Taylor and Francis"
+    => prints URL of revision, and mentioned editgroup id
+
+    fatcat get container_tupsi5ep7bhhraup4irzk6tpuy --toml > wip.toml
+    => --expand files, --hide as args or "expand==files"?
+    # edit wip.toml
+    fatcat update container_tupsi5ep7bhhraup4irzk6tpuy --toml < wip.toml
+
+    fatcat delete release_awuvsvwrwzev7jcljyo34r6gem
+
+    fatcat create release < some_release.json
+
+    fatcat create release --bulk < release_set.json
+    => makes editgroups automatically
+
+    fatcat update container --bulk < container_set.json
+    => or, "fatcat update containers"?
+
+    fatcat edit container_tupsi5ep7bhhraup4irzk6tpuy
+    => or "update"?
+    => container is fetched, $EDITOR is opened with JSON or TOML format, on
+       save tool validates/prettyprints (a diff?) and asks whether to make edit
+
+Other:
+
+    fatcat download file_wuyi7kl4njehpg3yyngaqxcqfa
+
+    fatcat status
+    => account info?
+    => current editgroup?
+
+For editgroup ergonomics, entity mutating commands (which require an
+editgroup), tool should fetch recent open editgroups for the user, filter to
+those created with the CLI tool, and use the most recent. Behavior and be tuned
+to be more or less conservative (let's start conservative).
+
+At least for prototyping, configure via environment variables (eg, API token,
+specifying alternative API endpoints).
+
+Clever but already taken names:
+
+- `fcc` (FatCat Client) is a fortran compiler. Also the name of the USA Federal
+  Communications Commission (a notable radio/internet/phone regulator)
+- `fc` (FatCat) is a bash built-in.
+
+Argument conventions:
+
+    ':'     Lookup specifier for entity (eg, external identifier like `doi:10.123/abc`)
+
+    '='     Assign field to value in create or update contexts. Non-string
+            values often can be infered by field type
+
+    ':='    Assign field to non-string value in create or update contexts
+
+Small details (mostly TODO):
+
+- pass through API warning headers to stderr
+
+## Similar Tools / Interfaces
+
+### `httpie`
+
+    ':'     HTTP headers
+
+    '=='    URL parameters
+
+    '='     data fields serialized into JSON, or as form data
+
+    ':='    non-string JSON data (eg, true (boolean), 42 (number), or lists)
+
+    '@'     Form field
+
+Output goes to stdout (pretty-printed), unless specified to `--download / -d`),
+in which case output file is infered, or `--output` sets it explicitly.
+
+### Internet Archive `ia` Tool
+
+TODO
+
+#### `jq` / `toml`
+
+Rust `toml-cli` has a small DSL for making mutations.
+
+#### `ripgrep`
+
+## More Ideas
+
+Some sort of pretty-printer for work/release/file structure. Eg, like `tree`
+unix command. See `ptree` rust crate.
+
+## Implementation
+
+Rust libraries:
+
+- `toml`
+- `toml_edit`: format-preserving TOML loading/mutating/serializing
+- `termcolor`
+- `atty` ("are we connected to a terminal")
+- `tabwriter` for tabular CLI output
+- `human-panic`
+- `synect` for highlighting
+- `exitcode`
