## What it is
Script Kit is an open-source, cross-platform desktop app for creating and running TypeScript/JavaScript scripts that automate daily workflows. It provides a friendly SDK with built-in UIs, a prompt-based launcher, and AI-powered script generation.

## Use cases
- automate repetitive desktop tasks with scripts
- run quick scripts from a command palette
- generate automation scripts with AI
- open projects in VSCode from a prompt
- download and process images automatically
- trim silence from recordings with ffmpeg
- create clipboard and file automation scripts

## When to choose
- you want a low-friction way to write and run small automation scripts
- you prefer TypeScript/JavaScript for scripting
- you want built-in UIs, prompts, and helpers for desktop automation
- you want a cross-platform script launcher on macOS, Windows, or Linux

## When to avoid
- you need headless CI/CD automation pipelines
- you prefer Python, Bash, or other scripting languages
- you need a full workflow orchestration engine rather than quick scripts
- you require all features for free, since some Pro features are sponsor-only
