- [`babel-cli`](/packages/babel-cli) is the CLI tool that runs `babel-core` and helps with outputting to a directory, a file, stdout and more (also includes `babel-node`). Check out the [docs](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/cli/).
- [`babel-types`](/packages/babel-types) is used to validate, build, change AST nodes.

- [`babel-polyfill`](/packages/babel-polyfill) is [literally a wrapper](https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/master/packages/babel-polyfill/src/index.js) around [`core-js`](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js) and [regenerator-runtime](https://github.com/facebook/regenerator/tree/master/packages/regenerator-runtime). Check out the [docs](https://babeljs.io/docs/usage/polyfill/).
- [`babel-runtime`](/packages/babel-runtime) is similar to the polyfill except that it doesn't modify the global scope and is to be used with [`babel-plugin-transform-runtime`](/packages/babel-plugin-transform-runtime) (usually in library/plugin code). Check out the [docs](https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-runtime/).
- [`babel-register`](/packages/babel-register) is a way to automatically compile files with babel on the fly by binding to node's require. Check out the [docs](http://babeljs.io/docs/usage/require/).
- [`babel-template`](/packages/babel-template) is a helper function to make AST nodes. Instead you can pass a string representing the code you want to create rather than tediously building them using `babel-types`.
- [`babel-helpers`](/packages/babel-helpers) is a set of premade `babel-template` functions that are used in some babel plugins.
- [`babel-code-frame`](/packages/babel-code-frame) is a standalone package used to generate errors that prints the source code and points to error locations.

### [Presets](http://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/#presets)
After Babel 6, the default transforms were removed; if you don't specify any plugins/presets it will just return the original source code.

The transformer[s] used in Babel are the independent pieces of code that transform specific things. For example: the [`es2015-arrow-functions`](/packages/babel-plugin-transform-es2015-arrow-functions) transform specifically changes arrow functions into a regular function. Presets are just simply an array of plugins that make it easier to run a whole a set of transforms without specifying each one manually.
