+#!/usr/bin/env sh
+# This is a shebang interpreter for launching emacs lisp scripts with Doom's CLI
+# framework preloaded and all the metadata it needs initialized. Use it like so:
+#
+#   #!/usr/bin/env doomscript
+#   (print! "Hello world!")
+#
+# For this to work, this file must be in your $PATH.
+#
+#   export PATH="$HOME/.emacs.d/bin:$PATH"
+#
+# This can also be exploited to evaluate arbitrary elisp against Doom's CLI
+# environment.
+#
+# This isn't used for bin/doom because of the $PATH requirement (and using
+# $BASH_SOURCE to locate it would reduce its POSIX compliance). This shouldn't
+# be an issue for folks writing their own CLIs, however.
