The CLI writes files you're expected to read and edit.

Every generated file shows up as a normal diff. Nothing is written to a hidden build directory you're not supposed to look at.

Five starters, picked by what you're actually building

Generators write plain files; checks catch drift

askr add page and askr add action write a normal component and a normal handler — review them like any other change before you commit. askr openapi --check fails CI when your schemas and your committed OpenAPI spec disagree, instead of letting a client silently go stale.

askr update only applies peer-compatible changes; reaching for the latest peer set at all is a separate, deliberate askr upgrade. And if you use an AI coding assistant, askr skills checks in project-specific instructions so it doesn't have to rediscover your conventions every session.
