🏗️ Architecture

The CLI is built with a modular architecture making it trivial to add new commands:

src/
├── index.ts          # Main entry with interactive menu
├── commands/         # Individual command implementations
│   ├── testid.ts
│   ├── git-rename.ts
│   └── base64.ts
└── utils/           # Shared utilities
    └── ui.ts        # Beautiful UI components

Adding a New Command

1. Create a new file in src/commands/your-command.ts
2. Export a registration function
3. Import and register in index.ts
4. Add to interactive menu

That's it! No core modifications needed.
