+
+A thin layer over optparse-applicative that avoids type plumbing for
+the common use case of a commandline tool with subcommands,
+by using `Parser (IO ())`
+
+## Usage
+
+```haskell
+import SimpleCmdArgs
+import Control.Applicative (some)
+import SimpleCmd (cmd_)
+
+main =
+  simpleCmdArgs Nothing "my example tool" "Longer description..." $
+  subcommands
+    [ Subcommand "echo" (putStrLn <$> strArg "NAME") "Print name"
+    , Subcommand "ls" (cmd_ "ls" <$> some (strArg "FILE...")) "Touch FILE"
+    ]
+```
+
+See more [https://github.com/juhp/simple-cmd-args/tree/master/examples](examples/).

+description:
+            This a small wrapper over optparse-applicative which
+            allows combining args parsers directly with IO commands,
+            avoiding command types boilerplate. It also provides
+            a few option Mod functions.
