## The Hook

Typer turns type hints into a CLI without you doing anything.

## What's Good

Define a function with type hints; Typer generates the CLI with help text, validation, and shell completion. Rich integration provides beautiful output. Nested commands work intuitively.

## The Catch

Complex CLI patterns sometimes fight the abstraction. Very dynamic interfaces may need lower-level Click access.

## Verdict

CLI tools in minutes instead of hours.
