Python CLI template checklist: ship the plumbing before the feature
Most CLI products do not get stuck on the clever workflow. They get stuck re-building the same command/config/output/test/packaging foundation again.
The buyer pain
You have a script that works locally, but selling or sharing it means turning it into a real tool: predictable commands, readable terminal output, stable config, tests, packaging, and CI.
That foundation is not hard. It is just repetitive enough to steal the first useful day of every CLI project.
The pre-feature checklist
- Command groups with useful help text and safe defaults.
- YAML/env config loading with explicit precedence and validation.
- Rich terminal output plus a machine-readable JSON mode for automation.
- pytest coverage for happy paths, config failures, and CLI exit codes.
- pyproject packaging, console script entry point, lint/type/test/build CI.
The reusable version
CLIKit packages that foundation as a Python Click + Rich + YAML config + pytest + GitHub Actions starter so the product work starts sooner.
Price is $19. The honest value prop: buy the boring setup once instead of rebuilding it from scratch.
