+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Install appydave-tools gem
+gem install appydave-tools
+
+# Initialize configuration
+vat init
+
+# List available brands
+vat list
+
+# List projects for a brand
+vat list appydave

+
+## Installation
+
+### Install Gem
+
+```bash
+gem install appydave-tools
+```
+
+### Initialize Configuration
+
+```bash
+vat init
+```
+
+This creates `~/.vat-config` pointing to your video projects directory.
+
+### AWS CLI Setup
+
+VAT uses the AWS CLI for S3 operations. Install and configure:
+
+```bash
+# Install AWS CLI (macOS)
+brew install awscli
+
+# Configure AWS credentials (if not using .video-tools.env)
+aws configure
+```
+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+### System Configuration (`~/.vat-config`)
+
+Created by `vat init`:
+
+```bash
+VIDEO_PROJECTS_ROOT=/Users/yourname/dev/video-projects
+```
+
+### Brand Configuration (`.video-tools.env`)
+
+Each brand directory contains a `.video-tools.env` file:
+
+```bash
+# AWS Configuration
+AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIA...
+AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
+AWS_REGION=ap-southeast-1
+S3_BUCKET=your-bucket-name
+S3_STAGING_PREFIX=staging/v-appydave/
+
+# SSD Backup Path
+SSD_BASE=/Volumes/T7/youtube-PUBLISHED/appydave
+```
+
+**Example template**: See `v-shared/video-asset-tools/.env.example` in your video-projects folder.
+
+---

+vat s3-down voz boy-baker --dry-run
+```
+
+**What it does:**
+- Downloads files from S3 to `project/s3-staging/`
+- Skips files already in sync
+- Creates `s3-staging/` if it doesn't exist
+
+#### `vat s3-status [brand] [project]`
+Check sync status between local and S3.
+
+```bash
+vat s3-status appydave b65
+```
+

+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Collaboration Workflow (David → Jan)
+
+**David (uploads to S3):**
+```bash
+cd ~/dev/video-projects/v-appydave/b65-guy-monroe
+# Place files in s3-staging/
+mkdir -p s3-staging
+cp ~/Downloads/intro-footage.mp4 s3-staging/
+
+# Upload to S3
+vat s3-up appydave b65
+```
+
+**Jan (downloads from S3):**
+```bash
+cd ~/dev/video-projects/v-appydave/b65-guy-monroe
+
+# Check what's available
+vat s3-status appydave b65
+
+# Download files
+vat s3-down appydave b65
+
+# Edit files in s3-staging/
+# ...
+
+# Upload edited files back
+vat s3-up appydave b65
+```
+
+### Example 2: Pattern Matching
+
+```bash
+# List all b60-series projects
+vat list appydave 'b6*'
+
+# List all completed projects
+vat list appydave 'b[1-5]*'
+```
+
+### Example 3: Cleanup After Project Completion
+
+```bash
+# Archive to SSD
+vat archive appydave b63
+
+# Verify sync status
+vat s3-status appydave b63
+
+# Clean up S3 (saves storage costs)
+vat s3-cleanup appydave b63 --dry-run  # Preview
+vat s3-cleanup appydave b63 --force     # Execute
+```
+
+---
+
+## Workflows
+
+### FliVideo Workflow (AppyDave Brand)
+
+**Pattern:** Sequential, chapter-based recording
+
+**Project Naming:** `b65-guy-monroe-marketing-plan`
+
+**Short Name Support:**
+```bash
+vat s3-up appydave b65  # Expands to full project name
+```
+
+**Typical Flow:**
+1. Record chapters sequentially
+2. Upload raw footage to S3 for collaboration
+3. Download edited chapters from S3
+4. Publish final video
+5. Archive to SSD
+
+### Storyline Workflow (VOZ, AITLDR Brands)
+
+**Pattern:** Script-first, narrative-driven content
+
+**Project Naming:** `boy-baker`, `the-point`
+
+**Full Name Required:**
+```bash
+vat s3-up voz boy-baker  # Use full project name
+```
+
+**Typical Flow:**
+1. Write script
+2. Record A-roll (main footage)
+3. Upload raw footage to S3
+4. Download edited version from S3
+5. Publish and archive

+
+## Brand Shortcuts
+
+VAT supports brand shortcuts for faster typing:
+
+| Shortcut | Full Name | Purpose |
+|----------|-----------|---------|
+| `appydave` | `v-appydave` | AppyDave brand videos |
+| `voz` | `v-voz` | VOZ client projects |
+| `aitldr` | `v-aitldr` | AITLDR brand videos |
+| `kiros` | `v-kiros` | Kiros client projects |
+| `joy` | `v-beauty-and-joy` | Beauty & Joy brand |
+| `ss` | `v-supportsignal` | SupportSignal client |
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+# Both are equivalent
+vat list appydave
+vat list v-appydave
+
+# Both are equivalent
+vat s3-up joy project-name
+vat s3-up v-beauty-and-joy project-name
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "VIDEO_PROJECTS_ROOT not configured"
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+vat init
+```
+
+### "Brand directory not found"
+
+**Check available brands:**
+```bash
+vat list
+```
+
+**Verify config:**
+```bash
+cat ~/.vat-config
+```
+
+### "No project found matching 'b65'"
+
+**Possible causes:**
+1. Project doesn't exist in brand directory
+2. Wrong brand specified
+
+**Debug:**
+```bash
+# List all projects
+vat list appydave
+
+# Use full project name
+vat s3-up appydave b65-full-project-name
+```
+
+### "AWS credentials not found"
+
+**Solution 1:** Add to `.video-tools.env` in brand directory
+```bash
+AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=AKIA...
+AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
+AWS_REGION=ap-southeast-1
+```
+
+**Solution 2:** Configure AWS CLI
+```bash
+aws configure
+```
+
+### "Could not detect brand and project from current directory"
+
+**Solution:** Either:
+1. Provide explicit args: `vat s3-up appydave b65`
+2. Ensure you're in project directory: `cd v-appydave/b65-project`
+
+### Files Not Syncing (Always "Skipped")
+
+**Cause:** Files haven't changed (MD5 hash matches)
+
+**Solution:** If you need to force re-upload, delete from S3 first:
+```bash
+vat s3-cleanup appydave b65 --force
+vat s3-up appydave b65
+```
+
+---
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Auto-Detection from PWD
+
+All S3 commands support auto-detection:
+
+```bash
+cd ~/dev/video-projects/v-appydave/b65-project
+
+# These auto-detect brand and project
+vat s3-up
+vat s3-down
+vat s3-status
+```
+
+### Dry-Run Mode
+
+Preview actions without making changes:
+
+```bash
+vat s3-up appydave b65 --dry-run
+vat s3-down voz boy-baker --dry-run
+vat s3-cleanup aitldr movie-posters --dry-run
+```
+
+### Interactive Selection
+
+When multiple projects match short name:
+
+```bash
+vat s3-up appydave b65
+# Output:
+# ⚠️  Multiple projects match 'b65':
+#   1. b65-first-project
+#   2. b65-second-project
+# Select project (1-2):
+```
