# urfave/cli

**URL:** https://github.com/urfave/cli
**One-liner:** A declarative, fast, and fun Go package for building CLI apps with commands, flags, and shell completion.
**Relevance to truebot:** medium (65/100)
**Integration:** depend-on-it

## Summary
A Go CLI building library with commands, flags, and shell completion.

## Why it's useful here
truebot is a Go project; if it exposes a command-line interface, urfave/cli can replace ad-hoc flag parsing with a declarative structure.

## Suggested use
Install as dependency and refactor any CLI entry points to use urfave/cli's App and Command types.

## Novelty / why now
Mature, standard-library-only CLI framework with dynamic shell completion for multiple shells.

## Risks
Well-maintained, but large surface area; integration may require restructuring existing flag parsing.
