+# auth0-cli
+
+## What?
+
+The goal is to build a fully fleshed out product, similar to the Heroku CLI,
+Stripe CLI, etc.
+
+## Why now?
+
+- It would also allow MVP products to be shipped faster.
+- For actions, delivering a CLI experience would be far ideal than having
+  developers write code in the browser.
