## Description

Generates production-ready TypeScript CLIs via a 3-tier template system (manual arg parsing, Commander.js, oclif), each shipping full implementation, docs, package.json, strict config, JSON output, and exit-code compliance.

A three-tier template system picks the right complexity: Tier 1 manual arg parsing with zero deps (most cases), Tier 2 Commander.js for subcommands, Tier 3 oclif as a reference for enterprise scale.

Shared facts the intents rely on:
