The `tambo` CLI handles project scaffolding, component management, and configuration. Use `create-app` to start a new project from a template, `init` to set up Tambo in an existing project, and `add` to install pre-built components.

All commands support a `--help` flag for quick reference. For common workflows that combine multiple commands, see the [CLI Workflows](/reference/cli/workflows) guide.
