Have to plug Typer[1] here - it's built on top of click, but uses the info already there type annotations, optional keyword arguments, default arguments, etc., to create the most "common sense" CLI for a function. For all my internal tools, has saved me a ton of time and gruntwork.

I've been using Typer for my projects recently and I have to agree, it's great! My only gripe with it is that its autocompletion-installation arguments can't be turned off, so it "pollutes" your help text in a way. It's not a big deal, but especially for smaller tools with small CLIs this annoys me a bit.
