A lightweight Node.js library for building beautiful, user-friendly interactive command-line prompts. It supports various prompt types (text, number, confirm, select, etc.) with a promise-based API and minimal dependencies.

Use cases

• ask users questions in a cli tool
• build interactive command-line wizards
• collect user input in node scripts
• create multi-step prompt chains
• add confirm dialogs to cli apps
• replace inquirer with a lighter alternative

When to choose

• you need lightweight cli prompts with minimal dependencies
• you prefer a promise/async-await based api
• you want consistent, attractive terminal prompts in node.js
• you need programmatically testable prompt flows

When to avoid

• you need prompts outside the node.js ecosystem
• you require highly customized or complex form layouts beyond simple prompts
• you are building a gui or web application rather than a cli
