conventional-cli provides a framework for defining and managing Command Line Interface (CLI) arguments in a structured and conventional manner. It allows developers to specify argument properties such as long and short names, descriptions, types (like enum or glob), default values, and whether they are required or deprecated. The library ships with TypeScript types, enabling type-safe CLI development. The current stable version is 1.2.0, released on January 29, 2020. Based on the release history, the project had a brief period of active development in early 2020 but has not seen any updates or releases since then, indicating a very low release cadence and an effectively abandoned status. Its primary differentiator is its emphasis on establishing a consistent, conventional structure for CLI argument definitions, which can aid in standardization and potentially simplify automated parsing or documentation generation for CLI tools.
