Research direction

Start by locating the CLI entry point and command definitions, then check whether the repository already has any completion-generation or shell-specific files. Verify the available commands and options against fish, bash, and zsh completion behavior; done means users can discover the CLI's supported commands and options in each requested shell.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Please add shell completions. I am using the fish shell, but you probably also want to add stuff like bash/zsh completions.
Thanks!
