+Usage: pos ai alias [subcommand] [args]
+
+Manage named AI agent aliases — create, edit, remove, list, and show
+configured aliases. Each alias maps a name to a provider, session, and
+optional system prompt.
+
+Subcommands:
+  (no args)         Interactive menu
+  create [name]     Create a new alias (interactive prompts for each field)
+  edit [name]       Edit an existing alias (interactive, Enter = keep)
+  remove [name]     Remove an alias (interactive, default = no)
+  list              List all aliases (non-interactive, machine-readable)
+  show <name>       Show one alias's details
+
+Options:
+  -h|--help         Show this help.
+
+Examples:
+  pos ai alias                     # interactive menu
+  pos ai alias list                # show all aliases
+  pos ai alias create              # interactive create
+  pos ai alias create mybot        # create 'mybot' alias
+  pos ai alias edit mybot          # edit the 'mybot' alias
+  pos ai alias remove mybot        # remove 'mybot' (with confirm)
+  pos ai alias show mybot          # show alias details
