A guided wizard for exploring the API without memorizing commands:

```bash
truto interactive
truto i              # alias
```

The wizard walks you through:

1. Pick a resource type
2. Choose an operation (list, get, create, update, delete)
3. Enter required parameters
4. View results

**When to use:** Learning the API, exploring field names, or quick one-off inspection.

**When not to use:** Scripting or automation — use subcommands directly for full filter/query support and stable output formats.
