Get all info about linking and protocols and such from ticalc.org - every model has the same byte transfer protocol. They also share a variable transfer protocol, but the variables have different 'id' codes. Also download ThriftyLink, which comes with source code for 82/85. You should expect 82/83 to be very similar and 85/86 to be very similar.
The "automated commands" is a fun project :-)
