## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: cli, developer-tools, terminal-ui
- domain: developer-tools, frontend
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: interactive-prompts, command-line-interface, async-await, user-input, javascript, command-line, nodejs
