## What it is
Listr is a Node.js library for rendering task lists in the terminal with live status indicators, sub-tasks, and concurrent execution. Tasks can be synchronous functions, promises, or observables, with support for skipping, enabling, and error handling.

## Use cases
- show a progress list for multi-step cli tasks
- render nested sub-tasks in the terminal
- display spinner indicators while running async tasks
- run setup steps concurrently with live status
- build a publish or install pipeline with visible task status

## When to choose
- you are building a Node.js CLI that runs multiple sequential or concurrent steps
- you want polished terminal output with sub-tasks and status updates

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained alternative - the repo has been quiet and listr2 is the actively developed successor
- your project is not JavaScript/Node.js

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: terminal-ui, task-runner, progress-indicator, spinner, command-line, nodejs
