Open AccessAbstract
Bioinformatics software varies greatly in quality. In terms of usability, the command line interface is the first experience a user will have of a tool.

Here I present ten recommendations for command line software author's tools to follow, which I believe would greatly improve the uptake and usability of their products, waste less user's time, and improve the quality of scientific analyses.
