## What it is
OpCore Simplify is a Python-based tool that automates the creation of OpenCore EFI folders for Hackintosh systems. It detects hardware, checks macOS compatibility, and generates ACPI patches, kexts, and config.plist automatically.

## Use cases
- generate an OpenCore EFI for my hackintosh build
- check if my hardware supports macOS and which version
- automatically add ACPI patches and kexts for my CPU and GPU
- create a config.plist without manual editing
- build a bootable EFI folder from a hardware report

## When to choose
- you are installing macOS on non-Apple Intel or AMD hardware
- you want to skip manual OpenCore configuration and kext selection
- you need a compatibility check for your CPU, GPU, and macOS version

## When to avoid
- you need a guaranteed first-attempt successful macOS installation
- you are on genuine Apple hardware
- you require fully manual, expert-level control over every OpenCore quirk

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, configuration-management, workflow-automation
- domain: operating-systems, hardware, developer-tools
- platform: windows, python, cli
