## Description

This project provides a unified command-line interface designed to orchestrate the development lifecycle of mobile applications. It serves as a central tool for bootstrapping new projects, managing build configurations, and executing routine development tasks such as starting servers and bundling assets.

The tool distinguishes itself through an automated native dependency manager that detects and integrates platform-specific code into the build process, reducing the need for manual configuration. It also features a modular, plugin-based architecture that allows developers to extend the core command set and customize build logic to meet specific project requirements.

Beyond its core orchestration capabilities, the project supports standardized scaffolding through templates to ensure consistent directory structures across applications. It centralizes environment settings and build parameters into a single configuration file, providing a consistent interface for managing complex mobile development workflows.
