+### 🔧 CLI Engine & Language
+- [ ] 🔧 **TypeScript Core Logic**: Extract core CLI logic into TypeScript for better typing, editor support, and DX while keeping entrypoints in JS for simplicity and npx support.
+- [ ] 🔧 **Multi-Language Plugin Support**: Allow plugins or commands to be authored in other languages (e.g., JSON/YAML configs or .ts generators).
+- [ ] ⚡ **Fast CLI Performance**: Ensure the CLI runs fast even without a build step (no ts-node dependency unless explicitly supported).
+- [ ] 🎯 **Internal TS, External JS**: Keep CLI entrypoints in JS for simplicity + npx support, but use internal core logic in TS for maintainability.

 ### 🎨 Enhanced UI & Styling
 - [ ] 🎨 **Implement CSS Modules Logic**: Add support for CSS Modules, styled-components, and emotion based on user selection.
 - [ ] 🎯 **UI Framework Integration**: Create actual component templates and setup for Ant Design, Material UI, Chakra UI, and Radix UI.
 - [ ] 🎨 **Dynamic Style Generation**: Generate appropriate style files and imports based on user's styling choice.

-  - ✅ Cypress (E2E testing)
+  - ✅ **E2E Testing**: Cypress, Playwright
-  - ✅ Playwright (E2E testing)
+  - ✅ **None**: Allow skipping testing setup entirely
-  - ✅ Vitest (unit testing)
-  - ✅ None
 - [ ] 🧪 **Test Configuration**: Generate proper Jest/Vitest config files and sample tests.
 - [ ] 🧪 **Selective Package Installation**: Only install test packages for the selected framework.
+- [ ] 🧪 **Sample Component Tests**: Add sample tests for generated components to demonstrate testing patterns.
 
 ### 🗃️ State Management

+### 🧱 Architecture + Filesystem
+- [ ] 🏗️ **Folder Structure Consistency**: Improve folder structure consistency across generated projects.
+- [ ] 🔧 **Environment Setup**: Add optional .env setup with common environment variables.
+- [ ] 📁 **Default Folders**: Add utils, hooks, and services folders by default (optionally toggle).
+- [ ] 🎯 **Project Layout Options**: Let users choose between "Feature-based" vs "Layer-based" project layout.
