help-me is a lightweight Node.js utility designed to simplify the creation and display of help messages for command-line interfaces. It serves as a direct partner for argument parsers like `minimist` and command dispatchers such as `commist`, allowing developers to define structured help documentation in simple text files. Currently at version 5.0.0, the package sees an active development and maintenance cadence, with recent updates focusing on modernizing its codebase and reducing dependencies, notably dropping `glob` in v5.0.0. Its primary differentiator lies in its straightforward, file-based approach to help documentation and its minimal API surface, making it an ideal choice for projects already leveraging `minimist` or `commist` that require a simple, declarative help system without the overhead of larger CLI frameworks.
