A quickstart-friendly TypeScript project template and CLI scaffolding tool that sets up new or existing repositories with comprehensive, opinionated tooling. It configures building, testing, linting, formatting, automated releases, contributor recognition, and GitHub repository settings.

Use cases

• scaffold a new typescript npm package
• set up eslint and prettier for a typescript repo
• bootstrap a typescript project with testing and ci
• add opinionated tooling to an existing repository
• create a typescript library template with automated releases
• quickstart a node typescript project

When to choose

• starting a new TypeScript package or Node.js project from scratch
• wanting a batteries-included, opinionated setup with linting, testing, and release automation
• transitioning an existing repo to a standardized TypeScript toolchain

When to avoid

• you prefer minimal, hand-picked tooling with full control over configuration
• your project is not TypeScript or Node.js based
• you need a framework-specific scaffold like Next.js or React app templates
