I am only going off on the README, as the other user pointed out, which addresses technical and non-technical people.

So yes, this tool can have great utility. It adds an abstraction layer and removes busywork for repetitive programming tasks. However, the utility will be for users acquainted with command line. Users who know what a config file is, or data types, lists, and key-value relationships assumed by the YAML spec. Users will also have to know the different algorithms so they can populate the config. All of these things require technical knowledge.

All of the above things are what us technical users take for granted, so a claim to cater to non-technical users must be evaluated from their perspective.

I am not belittling your work - this is a good project, but currently targeting an audience too broad.
