Description

It's a bit rough around the edges right now. We might want a custom error type and a few well-placed cuts here and there.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current error handling in the package arg parser, identify areas where error messages can be improved, and consider implementing a custom error type with appropriate `cut` usage.
