A workflow pattern for interactive scripting that replaces shell history navigation with a persistent file approach. Instead of repeatedly typing commands or using shell history, write commands to a dedicated file (like make.ts) that can be executed with a single keystroke. This approach provides better command editing, easier multi-command sequences, incremental workflow improvements, and simplified multi-process management. The pattern works best with TypeScript/Deno or similar scripting environments that support easy subprocess spawning and concurrency, using tagged template literals for command construction and async/await for process orchestration.
