CLI Template Spec — Language-Agnostic

Feed this document to a coding agent along with the target language (e.g., "Rust", "Go", "Zig"). The agent should produce a GitHub template repository equivalent to java-native-cli-template, adapted idiomatically for the chosen language.

Note to the implementing agent: This spec was written in February 2026. The language-specific suggestions (libraries, tools, versions) reflect what was current at that time. Before blindly following them, verify that these are still the best choices. Check for newer/better alternatives, deprecated tools, or ecosystem shifts. The requirements (what the template must do) are fixed — the implementation choices (which libraries and tools to use) should reflect the best option available when you run.

Goal

A GitHub template repo that lets me click "Use this template", clone, and immediately start building a CLI tool. All the ceremony — formatting, linting, testing, CI

	This just got linked to by the Y combinator news account, without proper context,
	so a brief introduction: A month ago (end of May / early June 2014) I had a
	Twitter conversation with a bunch of acquaintances. One tweet in the middle
	of that thread, with obligatory hyperbole, was me saying that I think VR is
	bad news.

	Well, that part of the thread (but not the rest that provides context) recently
	got retweeted, and then someone asked me if I could explain what I mean by that,
	and because Twitter is a great platform for delivering 140 character slogans and
	not so great for lengthy explanations, I wrote this. So, obligatory disclaimer:
