FAQPage Schema
How do I build a TypeScript CLI tool with templates and plugins?

TypeScript CLIs built with Gluegun use pattern-based templates and plugin architecture to scaffold commands, handle prompts, and manage filesystem operations. This Skill provides ready-made Gluegun templates, command scaffolds, and plugin examples to accelerate CLI development from initial structure through production deployment.

What's the best way to structure commands and templates in a Gluegun CLI project?

Gluegun patterns organize commands into modular templates that separate concerns: basic commands, generator commands, API helpers, and plugin extensions. This Skill includes validated command templates, EJS template examples, and validation scripts that enforce consistent structure across your CLI.

Can I use Gluegun to build a plugin system for my CLI?

Yes. Gluegun's toolbox extension pattern enables plugin architecture through template-based plugin scaffolds and helper utilities. This Skill provides plugin templates, working examples, and validation scripts to build and test extensible CLI systems.

How do I validate and test a Gluegun CLI project during development?

Validation scripts included in this Skill—validate-cli-structure.sh, validate-commands.sh, validate-templates.sh, and test-cli-build.sh—check CLI structure, command registration, template integrity, and build success against Gluegun best practices.

Do I need prior experience with Gluegun to use these templates?

No prerequisite Gluegun experience required. This Skill includes complete production-ready examples demonstrating basic CLIs, plugin systems, and template generators, plus documented patterns and workflows you can reference while building.

What TypeScript CLI patterns are covered by these templates?

Patterns include basic CLI commands, generator commands for scaffolding, API helpers for HTTP calls, toolbox extensions, plugin architecture, prompt workflows, and filesystem operations—all validated against real-world scenarios and best practices.
