For example: npx simulate shop will auto scaffold an e-commerce website with a Homepage, product listings page, product detail page, about us page, cart and checkout page. It will also include basic styling for you to get started.

2. Customize Each project generated by Simulacrum includes a standardized folder structure:

my-app/
├── public/
├── src/
│   ├── components/
│   ├── pages/
│   ├── styles/
│   ├── utils/
│   ├── App.js
│   ├── index.js
├── .env
└── package.json

You'll also have the ability to install bundled addons that are common to your template type. For example you can run the command npx simulate ecommerce plugins. This will provide a checklist in CLI for you to choose common plugins used in ecommerce (for example, 3rd party checkout, payment processor, pixels etc)
