FAQPage Schema

How do I bootstrap a production-ready TypeScript CLI project with ESM support?▼

To bootstrap a production-ready TypeScript CLI project, use a scaffold workflow that generates ESM modules, dual-build configurations for CLI and library outputs, automated release workflows, and essential template files like package.json and tsconfig.

What templates are generated when scaffolding a new TypeScript CLI?▼

Scaffolding a TypeScript CLI generates templates for package.json, tsconfig, tsdown, gitignore, license, changeset config, and GitHub Actions, alongside source files like cli.ts, index.ts, types.ts, AGENTS.md, and README.md.

Can I use this scaffold to create an npm package with automated releases?▼

Yes, this scaffold creates a dual-build TypeScript project supporting both CLI and npm package outputs, complete with changeset configuration and GitHub Actions workflows to automate the release process for your new package.

Does the TypeScript CLI scaffold include agent skill definitions?▼

Yes, the scaffolding workflow generates an agent skill definition file located at skills/SKILL.md, along with AGENTS.md, to integrate the newly bootstrapped TypeScript CLI project with agent-driven development workflows.

What is the best way to configure a Node 22 TypeScript CLI for dual-build?▼

The best way to configure a Node 22 TypeScript CLI for dual-build is using a scaffold template that sets up ESM modules, tsdown for bundling, and separate source entry points for CLI execution and library exports.

Are there post-scaffold validation checks for the generated TypeScript CLI?▼

Yes, the scaffold workflow includes end-to-end validation checks that run after project generation, verifying that the TypeScript CLI templates, configurations, and source files are correctly structured and functional.
