Oclif was one I used a while back but, last I tried it (a couple of months ago), there were either technical or documentation issues that made it a challenge to get started. It sounded like they were in the middle of fixes though so that might be worth a look. Combined with a solid HTTP package like axios, that would be a good leg up if you are proficient in JS.

Good list of options here:
