## What it is
m-cli is a Swiss Army Knife command-line tool for macOS that lets users control system functions, manage utilities, and tweak preferences from the Terminal. It is written in Shell with no third-party dependencies and includes shell autocompletion for Bash, Zsh, and Fish.

## Use cases
- manage macOS settings from the terminal
- toggle dock, finder, and appearance preferences via CLI
- control wifi, bluetooth, and network settings in a script
- prevent mac from sleeping from the command line
- manage battery, fan, and power settings on a mac
- script macOS admin tasks without third-party dependencies

## When to choose
- you administer or automate macOS systems from the terminal
- you want a lightweight, dependency-free shell tool for system tweaks
- you prefer CLI over clicking through System Settings

## When to avoid
- you are on Linux or Windows - it is macOS-only
- you need a GUI for system preferences
- you require deep system APIs beyond what shell commands expose
