-When you run `oclif generate`, you're prompted whether you want to use either [CommonJS](https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html) or [ESM](https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html) for your CLI. CommonJS modules were the original way to package JavaScript and TypeScript packages for reuse in Node.js; ESM modules are now the official standard format. Both options produce the same CLI, such as the same `tsconfig` file, `bin` scripts, sample commands, and so on.

 Here's a brief rundown of everything that's included in your newly generated CLI.
 
 ## Bin Scripts

 - `node` - If you use `node` and ESM, make sure you're using a loader that allows it to use ESM modules, such as `--loader ts-node/esm`. See [ESM](esm.md) for more information.

 ## Example Commands
 
-The templates come with two commands that you can build off of.
+The generated CLI project comes with two sample commands that you can use as a base to build your own.
 
 - `hello` - `src/commands/hello/index.ts`
 - `hello world` - `src/commands/hello/world.ts`
 
 ## Example Tests
 
-Lastly, there are test files for each of those commands under the `tests` folder.
+Test files for each of the sample commands are generated under the `tests` folder.
