What Gets Created

When you run the CLI, it creates a complete package with:

my-package/
├── src/

│   ├── myPackageSdk.ts       # Main SDK class
│   ├── types/
│   │   └── index.ts          # TypeScript interfaces
│   ├── schemas/
│   │   └── index.ts          # Zod validation schemas
│   └── __tests__/
│       └── myPackage.test.ts # Comprehensive tests
├── docs/                     # Documentation directory
├── package.json              # Modern package configuration
├── package-info.json         # Package metadata
├── tsconfig.json             # TypeScript configuration
├── tsup.config.ts            # Build configuration
├── vitest.config.ts          # Test configuration
├── .eslintrc.js              # Linting rules
├── .prettierrc               # Code formatting

├── README.md                 # Comprehensive documentation
└── CHANGELOG.md              # Version history

Example Usage

After creating a package:

import { MyPackageSdk } from 'my-package';

const sdk = new MyPackageSdk({
  apiKey: 'your-api-key',
  baseUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
});

// Example hello method (replace with your own methods)
const result = await sdk.hello('World');
console.log(result.data); // "Hello, World! Welcome to my-package SDK."

// TODO: Add your own SDK methods
// const data = await sdk.getData('123');
// const created = await sdk.createItem({ name: 'Example' });
