## What it is
A Vite plugin that lets you develop and build userscripts (.user.js) for engines like Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey, Greasemonkey, and ScriptCat. It injects userscript metadata comments, auto-configures @grant for GM APIs, supports CDN externals, and provides hot module replacement during development.

## Use cases
- develop userscripts with vite hot reload
- build a tampermonkey script from typescript
- bundle a userscript with react or vue
- auto-generate @grant comments for GM APIs
- inject cdn externals into userscript @require
- create a userscript project scaffold
- serve and install .user.js during development

## When to choose
- you want modern tooling (vite, HMR, TypeScript, frameworks) for userscript development
- you target Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey, Greasemonkey, or ScriptCat
- you want automatic userscript metadata and GM API grant handling

## When to avoid
- you are building browser extensions rather than userscripts
- you need a build system other than vite
- you write simple one-file scripts without a build step

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: build-tool, developer-tools, cli
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools, browser-extensions
