+```json
+{
+  "command": "git diff HEAD ../../src/command.ts 2>/dev/null | head -100"
+}
+```
+
+Good, I understand the command pattern. Now let me check what the `ui` feature offers for styling/colors, since I'll need that for the ASCII art gradient.
+
+**Bash**
+```json
+{
+  "command": "luca describe ui 2>&1 | head -80",
+  "description": "Describe the ui feature"
+}
+```
+
+**Bash**
+```json
+{
+  "command": "luca describe features 2>&1 | head -40",
+  "description": "List all available features"
+}
+```
+
+The UI feature has figlet (ASCII art) and text gradients built in. Let me get more details on those specific capabilities.
+
+**Bash**
+```json
+{
+  "command": "luca describe ui 2>&1 | grep -A 30 -i \"gradient\\|banner\\|figlet\\|ascii\"",
+  "description": "Find gradient/banner/figlet methods in ui"
+}
+```
+
+The `ui` feature has exactly what I need — `banner` combines ASCII art with gradient colors. Let me create the command.
+
+**Write**
+```json
+{
+  "file_path": "/Users/jonathansoeder/@soederpop/luca/attempts/custom-command-attempt-2/commands/hello.ts",
+  "content": "/**\n * hello — Display a word as ASCII art with a color gradient.\n * Run with: luca hello <word>\n */\nimport { z } from 'zod'\nimport type { ContainerContext } from '@soederpop/luca'\n\nexport const description = 'Display a word as ASCII art with a color gradient'\n\nexport const positionals = ['word']\n\nexport const argsSchema = z.object({\n  word: z.string().optional().describe('The word to display'),\n})\n\nexport default async function hello(options: z.infer<typeof argsSchema>, context: ContainerContext) {\n  const { container } = context\n  const ui = container.feature('ui')\n\n  const word = options.word || 'hello'\n\n  const result = ui.banner(word, {\n    font: 'Big',\n    colors: ['cyan', 'magenta', 'yellow'],\n  })\n\n  console.log(result)\n}\n"
+}
+```
+
+Let me test it.
+
+**Bash**
+```json
+{
+  "command": "luca hello world 2>&1",
+  "description": "Test the hello command"
+}
+```
+
+It works but the gradient colors aren't showing in the captured output (they'd appear in the terminal). Let me also test with another word.
+
+**Bash**
+```json
+{
+  "command": "luca hello awesome 2>&1",
+  "description": "Test with another word"
+}
+```
+
+Works. Now let me also verify it handles the no-argument case.
+
+**Bash**
+```json
+{
+  "command": "luca hello 2>&1",
+  "description": "Test with no argument"
+}
+```
+
+All working. Now let me write the LESSONS.md.
+
+**Write**
+```json
+{
+  "file_path": "/Users/jonathansoeder/@soederpop/luca/attempts/custom-command-attempt-2/LESSONS.md",
+  "content": "# Lessons Learned — Custom Command Attempt 2\n\n## What I Built\n\nA `luca hello <word>` command that renders the given word as ASCII art with a color gradient, using only built-in luca features (`ui.banner`).\n\n## What Went Well\n\n- **The `luca describe` CLI was incredibly useful.** Running `luca describe ui` gave me the full method signatures, parameter types, and examples for every method on the UI feature. This was faster and more reliable than reading source files.\n- **The command pattern is simple and well-documented.** The existing `about.ts` command in the project served as a perfect template. Export a description, argsSchema, positionals, and a default async function — done.\n- **The UI feature is rich.** `ui.banner()` combines figlet ASCII art generation with gradient coloring in a single call. `ui.asciiArt()`, `ui.applyGradient()`, `ui.applyHorizontalGradient()`, and `ui.applyVerticalGradient()` are also available for more granular control.\n- **Positionals mapping is elegant.** `export const positionals = ['word']` maps `luca hello world` to `options.word` automatically — no manual argv parsing needed.\n\n## What I Struggled With\n\n- **Nothing major.** This was a straightforward task because the existing scaffolded project already had a working command example (`about.ts`) and the `luca describe` output was comprehensive enough to understand the UI feature's API without reading source.\n\n## What Would Have Helped Up Front\n\n### In the CLAUDE.md\n\n1. **A minimal command example inline.** The CLAUDE.md mentions `commands/` and `positionals` but a 10-line \"hello world\" command example right in the CLAUDE.md would have been the fastest possible path. Something like:\n\n   ```ts\n   // commands/greet.ts\n   import { z } from 'zod'\n   import type { ContainerContext } from '@soederpop/luca'\n   export const description = 'Say hello'\n   export const positionals = ['name']\n   export const argsSchema = z.object({ name: z.string().optional() })\n   export default async function greet(options, context) {\n     console.log(`Hello, ${options.name || 'world'}!`)\n   }\n   ```\n\n2. **A note about the `ui.banner()` convenience method.** The CLAUDE.md mentions the UI feature exists but doesn't hint at its specific capabilities. A one-liner like \"The `ui` feature includes figlet ASCII art, color gradients, interactive prompts (inquirer), and markdown rendering\" would have pointed me directly to the right tool.\n\n### In the Luca Skill\n\n3. **A \"common recipes\" section.** Quick patterns like \"ASCII art banner\", \"interactive prompt\", \"file processing command\" would make the skill more immediately actionable for building things vs. just understanding the framework.\n\n4. **The `luca describe` output is the single most valuable discovery tool** — the skill should lead with this more prominently. It's mentioned, but it should be the #1 recommendation, above reading API docs or source files. The describe output includes examples which is what actually makes it so useful.\n\n## Summary\n\nTotal time from start to working command: very fast. The combination of an existing example command in the project + `luca describe ui` gave me everything I needed. The framework's self-describing nature is its biggest strength for AI-assisted development.\n"
+}
+```
+
+Done. Here's what I built:
+
+**`commands/hello.ts`** — A luca command that takes a positional argument and renders it as ASCII art with a cyan/magenta/yellow gradient using `ui.banner()`. Falls back to "hello" if no word is given.
+
+```
+$ luca hello world
+ __      _____  _ __| | __| |
+ \ \ /\ / / _ \| '__| |/ _` |
+  \ V  V / (_) | |  | | (_| |
+   \_/\_/ \___/|_|  |_|\__,_|
+```
+
+The LESSONS.md captures the key takeaway: `luca describe` is the killer feature for discovery, and a minimal inline command example in the CLAUDE.md would have made this even faster.
