+# Replacements for CLI builders
+
+## `sade`
+
+[`sade`](https://github.com/lukeed/sade) is a small but powerful tool for building CLI applications for Node.js
+
+```ts
+import sade from 'sade'
+
+const prog = sade('my-cli')
+
+prog
+  .version('1.0.5')
+  .option('--global, -g', 'An example global flag')
+  .option('-c, --config', 'Provide path to custom config', 'foo.config.js')
+
+prog
+  .command('build <src> <dest>')
+  .describe('Build the source directory. Expects an `index.js` entry file.')
+  .option('-o, --output', 'Change the name of the output file', 'bundle.js')
+  .example('build src build --global --config my-conf.js')
+  .example('build app public -o main.js')
+  .action((src, dest, opts) => {
+    console.log(`> building from ${src} to ${dest}`)
+    console.log('> these are extra opts', opts)
+  })
+
+prog.parse(process.argv)
+```
