 Stop wrestling with dictionaries and string keys. Heracless automatically converts your YAML configuration files into Python dataclasses with **full type safety** and **IDE autocomplete support**.

 ## Features
 
-✨ **Automatic Type Generation** - Generates `.pyi` stub files for full IDE support
-🔒 **Type Safety** - Catch configuration errors at development time, not runtime
-🚀 **Zero Boilerplate** - No manual dataclass definitions needed
-💡 **IDE Autocomplete** - Full IntelliSense/autocomplete for all config values
-🔧 **Immutable by Default** - Frozen dataclasses prevent accidental modifications
-🎯 **Simple API** - One function to load configs, helper utilities included
-🐍 **Modern Python** - Supports Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14
-📦 **Minimal Dependencies** - Only PyYAML required for core functionality

 ### Best Practices
 
-- ✅ Keep config files under 5000 lines for optimal performance
-- ✅ Use nested structures to organize related settings
-- ✅ Commit generated `.pyi` files to version control
-- ✅ Use `frozen=True` (default) to prevent accidental modifications
-- ✅ Regenerate stubs after changing config structure
-- ❌ Avoid using YAML anchors/aliases for critical type-checked fields
-- ❌ Don't modify generated `.pyi` files manually (changes will be overwritten)
