# Script Generator

Package.json scripts are powerful but writing them is tedious. Describe what you need and get proper npm scripts.

**One command. Zero config. Just works.**

## Quick Start

```bash
npx ai-script "lint, test, build, deploy"
```

## What It Does

- Generates npm scripts for your workflow
- Handles complex script chains
- Includes pre/post hooks
- Works with any tooling

## Usage Examples

```bash
# Basic workflow
npx ai-script "lint, test, build, deploy"

# Docker workflow
npx ai-script "docker build, docker push, k8s deploy"

# Full CI
npx ai-script "typecheck, lint, test:unit, test:e2e, build, deploy:staging"
```

## Best Practices

- **Use pre/post hooks** - run lint before test
- **Keep them composable** - small scripts that chain
- **Document complex ones** - add comments
- **Test locally** - before CI runs them

## When to Use This

- Setting up new project scripts
- Adding CI/CD commands
- Standardizing workflow
- Learning npm script patterns
