Stricli is a TypeScript framework from Bloomberg for building complex command-line applications with full type safety and zero runtime dependencies. It supports dual ESM/CJS publishing, code splitting, dependency injection, and dynamic shell autocomplete.

Use cases

• build a type-safe CLI in TypeScript
• create a command line tool with zero dependencies
• add shell autocomplete to my CLI
• structure a multi-command CLI app
• generate a new CLI project scaffold
• unit test CLI commands with dependency injection

When to choose

• you want end-to-end TypeScript types for flags and positional args
• you need a dependency-free CLI parser
• you want built-in dynamic shell autocomplete
• you prefer code splitting and lazy-loaded command implementations

When to avoid

• you need a quick one-off script where a simpler parser suffices
• you rely on plugin ecosystems of larger CLI frameworks like oclif or commander
• your project is not in the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem
