Productivity vs muscle memory/knowledge

After a long time I'm in a situation where I sometimes work on a temporary system without my individual setup. Now whenever I might add a new custom (nushell) command that abstracts the usage of CLI tools, I think about the loss of muscle memory/knowledge for these tools and how much time I waste looking them up without my individual setup. No, that's not a huge amount of time, but just out of curiosity I'd like to know how I can minimize this problem as much as possible.

Do you have some tips and solutions to handle this dilemma? I try to shadow and wrap existing commands, whenever it's possible, but that's often not the case. Abbreviations in fish are optimal for this problem in some cases, but I don't think going back to fish as my main shell for this single reason would be worth it.
