ClickyColoury is a WPF GUI frontend for PowerShell scripts. It also comes with a rudimentary CLI alternative. It's currently just a prototype however.

Cons

Prototype stage, some code duplication still, not enough documentation

Building the GUI is quite slow (mostly due to WPF widget creation, less the W wrapper)

Still a lot of ToDos

Scripts cannot be overly interactive (Read-Host yields an input popup)

The CLI version is not on par with the GUI features

Distributed only with a few generic scripts initially

Pros

Implements plugin meta data for easy extension

Allows CLI scripts to run nearly unchanged in a GUI

Provides a color-aware Write-Host and a crude Read-Host wrapper

Convenient $machine + $username toolbar input (w/ gimmicks)

Additional input (text/combo boxes/boolean) support for scripts

GUI is somewhat plain now, but adds icons in menus

Overall design goal is to allow scripts to run alike in GUI or CLI, and (mostly) standalone

Trivia

license MITL

project name "ClickyColoury" is a lowbrow approximation of the german term "KlickiBunti" (a common diss for GUI tools). Originally this was called "MultiTool" even. (Well, at least it keeps in line with being an overly generic title.)

version init_intro.ps1 shows a summary/"sigma" version of all installed scripts, rather than its main version.
