## What it is
An interactive CLI project generator that scaffolds new TypeScript libraries or Node.js projects with preconfigured tooling. It sets up testing with AVA, documentation with TypeDoc, linting/formatting with ESLint and Prettier, and CI configuration in one command.

## Use cases
- scaffold a new typescript library
- bootstrap a nodejs project with tests and ci
- generate a typescript starter template
- set up typedoc ava and prettier quickly
- create a tree-shakable es module package
- start a typescript project with code coverage configured

## When to choose
- starting a new TypeScript library or Node.js project from scratch
- you want batteries-included testing, linting, docs, and CI setup in one command
- you need both ESM and CommonJS output with type declarations

## When to avoid
- you already have an established project or preferred tooling
- you need a framework-specific starter like React or Next.js
- you want the most current tooling, since the project is in maintenance mode

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: cli, developer-tools, testing, documentation, build-tool
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, programming-languages
