"OS" here can mean anything. I recommend you pick one thing to do and start with that. Users, file permissions, networks, a cool spash screen, some neat click-based UI, etc.

Maybe I misunderstood your question?

Initially, I meant the basics as in command line, and gradually adding more.

Well, if you want to replace the CraftOS CLI, what do you want to replace it with? If you want to modify it, in what way? Basically, "I want to make an OS" is too broad, and very difficult to help you out with. You can look at what other people have done, look at their source code, look at the CraftOS source code, etc.
