Problem
43 out of 60 commands have no spinner or progress indicator. Users see no feedback during potentially long operations — the CLI appears frozen.
Commands Missing Spinners
High-priority (perform I/O or network):
translate — converts between agent formats, can be slow for large skills
publish — submits to marketplace
scan — security scanning
agent (all subcommands) — agent detection, installation
remove — filesystem operations
sync — syncs across agents
memory — 1,027 LOC, reads/writes state
mesh — network operations
Medium-priority:
list, activity, context, session, learn, team, plugin
agents-md, audit, cicd, command, create, doctor
Proposed Solution
Import spinner from onboarding/ and wrap I/O-heavy sections:
const s = spinner();
s.start('Translating skill...');
// ... work ...
s.stop('Translation complete');
