## What it is
AGS is a scaffolding CLI for building Wayland desktop shells with the Astal and Gnim libraries, using JavaScript/TypeScript with JSX on the GJS runtime. It provides commands to initialize projects, generate TypeScript types from GObject libraries, bundle projects, and run them directly.

## Use cases
- create a custom wayland status bar
- build a desktop shell widget in typescript
- scaffold an astal project
- make a notification daemon ui for linux
- customize my linux desktop ricing setup
- write gtk widgets with jsx

## When to avoid
- you need a desktop shell for X11 or non-GTK environments
- you prefer writing shells in Vala/C or shell scripts rather than TypeScript
- you need a cross-platform widget toolkit outside Linux/GNOME
