Automate Test & Framework Setup in Seconds with agents-cli-automation

My portfolio : (https://shekhar-pro.vercel.app/about)

Demo :

If you’ve ever started a new automation project, you know the drill:

👉 Install dependencies
👉 Configure test runners
👉 Wire up folders
👉 Repeat the same setup… again and again

It’s repetitive, time-consuming, and honestly — not where you want to spend your energy.

That’s exactly the problem agents-cli-automation aims to solve.

🧠 What is agents-cli-automation?

agents-cli-automation is an npm CLI tool designed to bootstrap automation setups quickly using a guided, interactive workflow.

Instead of manually wiring everything, you can generate a ready-to-use structure with a single command — letting you focus on writing tests and building features instead of boilerplate.

⚡ Why it’s useful

Here’s where it shines:

Zero-friction setup → No need to memorize install steps

Consistent project structure → Standardized scaffolding across teams

Faster onboarding → New contributors can start instantly

Framework flexibility → Works with different automation approaches

In short: less setup, more shipping.

🛠️ Getting started
npx agents-cli-automation init

From there, the CLI guides you through configuration choices and generates the project structure automatically.

💡 Real-world use cases

Developers are using tools like this to:

Spin up Playwright + BDD frameworks quickly

Standardize QA automation across repos

Prototype testing setups for POCs

Reduce environment drift in teams

If you’re working in DevOps, QA, or developer productivity — this kind of CLI can save hours every sprint.

🤔 When should you try it?

You’ll get the most value if you:

✔ Frequently create new automation repos
✔ Want a repeatable setup process
✔ Are onboarding teammates often
✔ Prefer convention over configuration

🧩 Final thoughts

The ecosystem is moving toward automation-first developer workflows, and CLI scaffolding tools are becoming a key productivity layer.

agents-cli-automation fits right into that trend — helping teams eliminate repetitive setup and start building immediately.

If you’ve tried it (or built something similar), I’d love to hear how you’re automating your project setup workflows 👇

What’s the one step you wish you never had to do again?
