How-To recipes

Task-oriented, self-contained pages. Each one assumes you already know what you want to do.

Start here if you have an existing codebase

• Tame an out-of-control script directory — you have a pile of bash + Python utility scripts, you want one CLI.
• Migrate from argparse (or plain Click) — pattern-by-pattern conversion guide.

Start here if you already use clickwork

• Add a new command — the short version.
• Write a plugin — when a command should ship on its own release cadence.

If you're not sure which recipe applies, the Practical Walkthrough covers the happy path end-to-end.
