Design CLI surface area with human-first, script-friendly syntax and behavior. Provides guidelines, templates, and best practices for creating command-line interfaces that are intuitive for users and reliable for automation.

🚀 Create CLI helps you design command-line interfaces that work beautifully for both humans and scripts. It guides you through syntax, behavior, and safety patterns—following modern CLI best practices—so your tool feels intuitive and reliable from day one.

💡 Perfect for building tools that teams actually want to use: whether you're automating deployments, managing infrastructure, or shipping developer utilities. Covers everything from argument parsing and error handling to config precedence and shell completion.

✨ Ships with a battle-tested rubric based on industry standards (clig.dev), sensible defaults for prompts and confirmations, and a spec template you can hand straight to your implementation team.
