+# React Crafter
+
+**React Crafter** is a CLI tool designed to quickly scaffold a modern React application with TypeScript, Ant Design, Sass, Webpack, and essential development tools like Husky and linters pre-configured. This tool simplifies the initial setup, allowing developers to start coding with best practices from the get-go.
+
+## Features
+
+- **React with TypeScript**: Automatically sets up a React project using TypeScript.
+- **Ant Design Integration**: Includes Ant Design (antd) for UI components, fully integrated with your project.
+- **Sass Support**: Configures Sass for better styling with variables, mixins, and more.
+- **Webpack Configuration**: Custom Webpack setup for development and production builds.
+- **Husky & Linters**: Pre-configured Git hooks with Husky, Commitlint, and Prettier to enforce code quality and style.
+- **Atomic Design Structure**: Creates an atomic design folder structure to organize your components.
+- **Redux Setup**: Sets up Redux with slices, middleware, and selectors for state management.
+- **Test Suite**: Installs Jest and Playwright for comprehensive testing.
+
+## Installation
+
+First, install the CLI globally via npm:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g react-crafter
+```
+
+Or use it directly with npx (no installation required):
+
+```bash
+npx react-crafter <project-directory>
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+To create a new React project, simply run:
+
+```bash
+npx react-crafter my-new-app
+```
+
+Replace `my-new-app` with the name of your project.
+
+### Example:
+
+```bash
+npx react-crafter awesome-project
+```
+
+## Commands
+
+Here’s a summary of the commands you can use after setting up your project:
+
+1. **Start Development Server**:
+    ```bash
+    npm start
+    ```
+    Starts the development server with Webpack. The project is served using Webpack Dev Server with the configuration specified in `webpack.config.js`.
+
+2. **Build for Production**:
+    ```bash
+    npm run build
+    ```
+    Builds the project for production. Webpack compiles the project and outputs the optimized bundle in the `/dist` directory.
+
+3. **Run Tests**:
+    ```bash
+    npm test
+    ```
+    Placeholder for running tests. Currently, it does not run any tests but can be customized to run Jest or other test suites.
+
+4. **Run Tests in Watch Mode**:
+    ```bash
+    npm run test:dev
+    ```
+    Runs tests in watch mode using React Scripts. Suitable for a test-driven development approach.
+
+5. **Format Staged Files**:
+    ```bash
+    npm run pretty-quick
+    ```
+    Formats all staged files using Prettier. Ensures that code is consistently formatted before committing.
+
+6. **Lint Entire Codebase**:
+    ```bash
+    npm run lint:prettier
+    ```
+    Checks the format of the entire codebase using a custom script. It can be used to ensure that all files adhere to Prettier’s formatting rules.
+
+7. **Format Entire Codebase**:
+    ```bash
+    npm run prettier
+    ```
+    Formats the entire codebase using Prettier based on the configuration in `.prettierrc`.
+
+8. **Format & Commit**:
+    ```bash
+    npm run prettier:commit
+    ```
+    Applies Prettier formatting to staged files before committing. Ensures that committed code is properly formatted.
+
+9. **Eject Project**:
+    ```bash
+    npm run eject
+    ```
+    Ejects the project from Create React App. This command exposes the underlying configuration files for full control but cannot be undone.
+
+10. **Prepare Husky**:
+    ```bash
+    npm run prepare
+    ```
+    Installs Husky hooks. This script is automatically run after dependencies are installed, setting up Git hooks for the project.
+
+## Customization
+
+React Crafter provides a base setup for React projects, but it is also customizable to fit your specific needs:
+
+- **Pre-configured files**: Files like `prettier-commit.js`, `check-format.js`, and others are copied during setup.
+- **Package.json customization**: The CLI updates `package.json` with custom scripts tailored to your project’s needs.
+- **Atomic design structure**: The tool creates a folder structure based on atomic design principles to help organize components.
+
+## Post-Setup Options
+
+After the project is set up, you’ll be prompted to choose how to open the project:
+
+- **Terminal**
+- **VSCode**
+- **Neovim**
+- **None**
+
+This feature ensures you can start working in your preferred environment immediately after setup.
