## What it is
Very Good CLI is a Dart command-line tool by Very Good Ventures that scaffolds opinionated, production-ready project templates for Flutter apps, Dart packages, CLIs, Flame games, federated plugins, and docs sites. It also provides utility commands like recursive package fetching, test optimization, and an MCP server for AI assistant integration.

## Use cases
- generate a flutter starter app with best practices
- scaffold a dart package template
- create a flame game project
- bootstrap a flutter federated plugin
- generate a documentation site with docusaurus
- set up a dart cli project with testing and ci
- start a new flutter project with bloc architecture and 100% test coverage

## When to choose
- you want opinionated Flutter/Dart project scaffolding with CI, linting, and full test coverage out of the box
- you regularly start Flutter apps, packages, plugins, or Flame games and want consistent architecture
- you want an MCP server so AI assistants can scaffold projects for you

## When to avoid
- you prefer minimal or unopinionated output from flutter create / dart create
- you don't use Dart or Flutter
- you need full control over project structure and don't want VGV conventions like bloc

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: cli, developer-tools, boilerplate, testing, mcp
- domain: developer-tools, cross-platform, documentation
- platform: cli, cross-platform
