## What it is
Mason is a collection of Dart packages and a CLI that lets developers create, publish, and consume reusable code templates called bricks. It includes mason_cli for generating code from templates and a registry (BrickHub) for sharing them.

## Use cases
- generate boilerplate code from reusable templates
- scaffold flutter features with a consistent structure
- share code templates across a team
- create custom project scaffolding for dart and flutter apps
- standardize file and folder generation in repositories
- publish and install community code templates

## When to choose
- you write Dart or Flutter code and want reusable scaffolding
- your team needs consistent boilerplate across many projects
- you want a template registry with publishing and versioning
- you prefer mustache-based templates driven by variables and hooks

## When to avoid
- you need code generation for non-Dart ecosystems with richer tooling (e.g., Yeoman, Cookiecutter may fit better)
- you only need one-off project scaffolding without reuse
- you require a license-guaranteed dependency (no license file is present in the repo)
