TTY is a modular Ruby toolkit for building command-line applications, providing a `teletype` scaffolding executable and composable components like tty-prompt, tty-table, tty-progressbar, tty-logger, and tty-option. Each component is a small, independently installable gem that follows the Unix philosophy of doing one thing well.

Use cases

• build a command line app in ruby
• generate cli project scaffolding
• create interactive terminal prompts with menus and validation
• render tables and progress bars in the terminal
• parse command line arguments and options
• add structured logging to a terminal tool
• build cross-platform terminal utilities

When to choose

• you are writing a Ruby CLI tool and want polished, composable terminal components
• you want project scaffolding and command generation out of the box
• you prefer small, focused, Unix-style libraries you can mix and match
• you need reliable cross-platform terminal behavior

When to avoid

• your CLI is written in a language other than Ruby
• you need a single batteries-included framework rather than modular gems
• you require very recent releases or active new feature development, as the project is in maintenance mode
