# Scaffold typed command-line interfaces

Generate structured command-line tools with parsed flags, subcommands, and validation

[Use with BotBento ](https://app.botbento.com/?ref=usecases&utm_source=botbento.com&utm_medium=usecases&utm_campaign=scaffold-typed-command-line-interfaces)Copy promptShare[Markdown](/text/usecases/scaffold-typed-command-line-interfaces/index.md)[العربية](/ar/usecases/scaffold-typed-command-line-interfaces/)

Opens BotBento. Paste the prompt into a bot; nothing is preconfigured.

- When you askReceive CLI tool specifications
- ThenDraft schemas and command handlers
- ResultPresent generated CLI project files

Turn requirement specifications into structured, type-safe command-line interface tools. The bot designs argument schemas, configures flags with aliases, generates help menus, and writes unit tests to verify exit codes and output behavior across diverse inputs.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Review user requirements for command arguments, flags, and options. Generate schema definitions with type validation, subcommand routing, and standardized help plugins. Produce test suites verifying flag parsing and error handling. Wait for user approval before creating files, running scripts in the terminal, or pushing git commits.
