Reference Files

Task	File
Config file, CLI, entry points	config.md
Format, target, dts, exports	output.md
Shims, unbundle, watch, frameworks	features.md
Plugins, hooks, programmatic, migration	advanced.md

Loading Files

Consider loading these reference files based on your task:

references/config.md - if setting up tsdown.config.ts, CLI, or entry points
references/output.md - if configuring output format, target, .d.ts, or exports
references/features.md - if using shims, unbundle, watch mode, or framework integrations
references/advanced.md - if writing plugins, using programmatic API, or migrating from tsup

DO NOT load all files at once. Load only what's relevant to your current task.
