## What it is
Slush is a streaming project scaffolding tool that uses Gulp tasks instead of Yeoman generators to bootstrap new projects. It locates installed slush-* generator packages and runs their Gulp-defined tasks from the command line.

## Use cases
- scaffold a new project from a template
- replace yeoman with gulp-based generators
- run custom generator tasks from the command line
- list installed project generators
- create reusable project boilerplate generators

## When to avoid
- starting a new project today - the tool is unmaintained since 2018 and Yeoman or modern alternatives are safer
- you need an actively supported generator ecosystem

## Facets
