Description
Not sure about the specifics, but at a high level, it would be nice to do something like:
```
aws> variable=$(ec2 describe-instances --query "Reservations[0].Instances[0].InstanceId" --output text)
aws> ec2 start-instances --instance-ids $variable
```

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how the shell parses and executes commands, then define how assignment and variable substitution should work for the shown AWS CLI example; done means both commands execute with the captured instance ID.
