## What it is
A command-line tool that connects to an existing database (MySQL/MariaDB, Postgres, SQLite, or MSSQL) and automatically generates bare Sequelize model files from its schema. It supports TypeScript output, config files, and per-table model options.

## Use cases
- generate sequelize models from an existing mysql database
- reverse-engineer postgres schema into sequelize models
- create typescript sequelize models from sqlite tables
- scaffold orm models for a legacy mssql database
- bootstrap node.js backend models without writing them by hand

## When to choose
- you already have a database schema and want Sequelize models generated automatically
- you want to avoid hand-writing model definitions for many tables
- you need TypeScript model output for a Sequelize project

## When to avoid
- you are starting schema-first and prefer migrations to define models
- you use an ORM other than Sequelize
- you need generated models with custom business logic baked in
