## Description

Poi is an extensible, zero-configuration module bundler and asset compiler for modern frontend development. It functions as a build system that transforms JavaScript, JSX, and CSS into browser-compatible files and combines them into single packages for web delivery.

The tool is built around a plugin architecture that allows for custom extensions to the build pipeline and the addition of specialized asset processing logic. It employs a convention-based mapping system to automate build settings and target outputs without the need for manual configuration files.

The project covers a broad range of bundling capabilities, including frontend framework compilation, automatic asset resolution, and the processing of static files. It utilizes abstract syntax tree transformations to enable programmatic modification and framework-specific compilation of source code.
