How does it handle CLI performance?

It implements performance best practices such as lazy-loading heavy dependencies and using dynamic imports to ensure the CLI remains responsive regardless of its feature set.

Which CLI framework is recommended by default?

Commander.js is the default recommendation for approximately 90% of use cases due to its lightweight nature, excellent TypeScript support, and widespread industry adoption.

Does this skill support interactive prompts?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for Inquirer.js to create user-friendly interactive command-line surveys and selections.

Can I build React-based terminal UIs with this skill?

Absolutely. The skill includes specific guidance for using Ink, allowing you to build complex terminal layouts and dashboards using familiar React components.

Does it help with the npm publishing process?

Yes, it covers the essential package.json configurations, bin symlinking, and CI/CD quality gates required to successfully publish and maintain a CLI on npm.
