Description

$ oxide project create --name testing
error: the following required arguments were not provided:
  --description <description>

Usage: oxide project create --name <name> --description <description>

Having a useful description on objects is great, but I don't think it's something you can force. When you don't have one, it would be good to avoid the need to pass the same value for --description as you did for --name (or, something like --description .) just to make the error go away.

Research direction

Start by tracing the oxide project create command's argument definition and how it handles project creation. The work is done when --description is no longer required, the command succeeds without it, and the generated help and validation reflect that behavior.
