Top 23 TypeScript Command-line Projects

Project mention: .NET TUI Frameworks Compared: Terminal.Gui, Spectre.Console, and RazorConsole | dev.to | 2026-09-29
Yes, at the programming-model level. Both make terminal interfaces composable and state-driven using concepts familiar from Web development. Ink uses React and JSX/TSX; RazorConsole uses Razor and C#. This does not imply compatible APIs, identical features, or equivalent performance. Ink documentation · RazorConsole documentation

Project mention: Building a production TypeScript CLI in 2026: oclif vs commander vs custom. | dev.to | 2026-06-09
Prompts (interactive input like password fields or selection lists) sit outside all three. None of them bundle an interactive prompt library. The standard pairing is inquirer for oclif and commander, or Node's built-in readline interface for the zero-dep path.

npkill
List any node_modules 📦 dir in your system and how heavy they are. You can then select which ones you want to erase to free up space 🧹
If you have dozens of old projects scattered across your drive, hunting each one down manually isn't realistic. npkill is a free command-line tool that scans your drive, lists every node_modules folder with its size, and lets you delete the ones you don't need interactively:

Project mention: Sonar – A tiny CLI to see and kill whatever's running on localhost | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-03-20
Nice util. It should be possible to kill inline.
I like clack/prompts. See its multiselect API.

tweakcc
Customize Claude Code's system prompts, create custom toolsets, input pattern highlighters, themes/thinking verbs/spinners, customize input box & user message styling, support AGENTS.md, unlock private/unreleased features, and much more. Supports both native/npm installs on all platforms.
Maybe I miss a bit of information here, but I'm wondering why a random PR in a repository (https://github.com/Piebald-AI/tweakcc/pull/459) can close an issue in an unrelated repository (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/6235)?
Is that a misconfiguration, or is that on purpose for Github? I never noticed that before.

openworkflow
Open-source TypeScript framework for building durable, resumable workflows. Supports Node.js and Bun.
-
cliffy
A TypeScript-first, runtime-agnostic command-line toolkit for Deno, Node.js and Bun: featuring a command framework, argument parser, interactive prompts, tables, ANSI utilities, and more.
TS + Deno + dax is my favorite scripting environment. (Bun has a similar $ function built in.) For parsing CLI args, I like the builders from Cliffy (https://cliffy.io/) or Commander.js because you get typed options objects and beautiful help output for free.
If you want to script in Rust, xshell (https://docs.rs/xshell/latest/xshell/) is explicitly inspired by dax.

libgen-downloader
A simple tool to search and download ebooks from libgen via terminal user interface.

Cross-platform speech toolset, used from the command-line or as a Node.js library. Includes a variety of engines for speech synthesis, speech recognition, forced alignment, speech translation, voice isolation, language detection and more.
