The document introduces CommandBox, a ColdFusion command line interface (CLI) tool that provides features like a package manager, REPL (Read-Eval-Print-Loop), integrated server, scaffolding for frameworks like ColdBox, and automation capabilities. It discusses how CommandBox can help developers work more efficiently by allowing them to install packages, run CFML code from the command line, and automate repetitive tasks. The presentation provides examples of how to use CommandBox commands and highlights its extensibility through custom commands and integration with ForgeBox, a package repository.
