## What it is
pkgroll is a zero-config JavaScript/TypeScript package bundler powered by Rollup. It reads entry-points from package.json exports and produces ESM, CommonJS, and .d.ts declaration outputs with a single command.

## Use cases
- bundle a TypeScript npm package with zero config
- build ESM and CommonJS outputs from one codebase
- generate bundled .d.ts declaration files
- build a CLI tool with hashbang insertion
- replace a complex rollup config for library builds
- watch mode rebuilds during package development

## When to avoid
- you're bundling a web app rather than an npm package
- you need advanced bundler plugins or custom transforms
- you need code splitting for complex multi-entry apps
