+## [Unreleased]
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-07-05
+
+### Added
+- `bitwise_attribute` DSL macro to declare bitwise flags on any ActiveRecord model
+- Per-flag instance methods: `key_bit?`, `set_key_bit`, `unset_key_bit`
+- Boolean getter/setter pair: `attr_key` and `attr_key=` (accepts truthy/falsy values)
+- Dirty-tracking predicate: `was_previously_key_bit?`
+- Bulk instance methods: `set_attr(*keys)` and `unset_attr(*keys)`
+- `associated_attr` to retrieve all currently-set key names as an array
+- `attr_values` and `attr_aliases` instance accessors for the mapping and alias hashes
+- Class-level `extract_bitmask_keys(attr, integer)` to decode a raw integer into key names
+- Class-level `decode_bitwise_values(attr, hash)` to decode a `{id => bitmask}` hash in bulk
+- Query scopes: `with_attr`, `with_exact_attr`, `without_attr`
+- `aliases:` keyword on `bitwise_attribute` to define alternative names for existing keys; aliases are resolved transparently in all scopes and bulk operations
+- Inheritance support: subclasses receive a copy of the parent's bitwise attributes and aliases, and can extend or redefine them independently
+- Requires Ruby >= 3.1.4 and Rails >= 6.1.7.3
+- CI matrix covering Rails 6.1 / 7.0 / 7.1 / 7.2 on Ruby 3.1–3.3

+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+This is a Ruby gem that adds **bitwise attribute management** to ActiveRecord models via an `ActiveSupport::Concern`.
+
+### How it works
+
+A single integer column stores multiple boolean flags packed as bits. Each flag occupies one bit position (1, 2, 4, 8, …). Defining `bitwise_attribute :permissions, :read, :write, :admin` maps:
+- `read` → bit 1
+- `write` → bit 2
+- `admin` → bit 4
+
+### Key files
+
+- `lib/bitwise_attributes.rb` — Entry point. Includes `ActiveRecordExtension` into the `BitwiseAttributes` concern.
+- `lib/bitwise_attributes/active_record_extension.rb` — All the logic: the `bitwise_attribute` DSL macro, dynamically generated instance methods, and ActiveRecord scopes.
+
+### Generated API (per-attribute `attr_name`, per-key `key`)
+
+| Method / Scope | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `key_bit?` | Check if a specific bit is set |
+| `set_key_bit` / `unset_key_bit` | Set or clear a single bit |
+| `attr_name_key` / `attr_name_key=` | Boolean getter/setter (accepts truthy values) |
+| `was_previously_key_bit?` | Dirty-tracking: was bit set before last save |
+| `associated_attr_name` | Returns array of all currently-set key names |
+| `set_attr_name(*keys)` / `unset_attr_name(*keys)` | Bulk OR-in / AND-NOT-out |
+| `with_attr_name(keys)` | Scope: any of the given bits set |
+| `with_exact_attr_name(keys)` | Scope: exactly these bits set |
+| `without_attr_name(keys)` | Scope: none of the given bits set |
+
+### Aliases
+
+The `aliases:` keyword lets you define alternative names that map to existing keys:
+
+```ruby
+bitwise_attribute :flags, :feature_a, :feature_b, aliases: { fa: :feature_a }
+```
+
+Aliases are resolved transparently in scopes and bulk set/unset operations.
+
+### Inheritance
+
+`inherited` hook propagates `@bitwise_attributes` and `@bitwise_aliases` to subclasses via `dup`, so STI subclasses pick up parent definitions and can add their own.
+
+## RuboCop
+
+Configured in `.rubocop.yml`: Ruby 2.6 target, double-quoted strings enforced, max line length 120.

+# BitwiseAttributes
+
+Pack multiple boolean flags into a single integer column on an ActiveRecord model. Each flag occupies one bit, so you get cheap storage and fast bitwise SQL queries with no schema changes per new flag.
+
+## Installation
+
+Add to your Gemfile:
+
+```ruby
+gem "bitwise_attributes"
+```
+
+Or install directly:
+
+```sh
+gem install bitwise_attributes
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Ruby >= 3.1.4
+- Rails (ActiveRecord) >= 6.1.7.3
+
+## Usage
+
+### Setup
+
+Add an integer column to your table (default `0`, not null):
+
+```ruby
+add_column :users, :permissions, :integer, null: false, default: 0
+```
+
+Include the concern and declare your attribute:
+
+```ruby
+class User < ApplicationRecord
+  include BitwiseAttributes
+
+  bitwise_attribute :permissions, :read, :write, :admin
+end
+```
+
+Keys are assigned bit positions in declaration order: `read` → 1, `write` → 2, `admin` → 4.
+
+### Per-flag methods
+
+For each key the following methods are generated (shown for `read`):
+
+```ruby
+user.read_bit?                # => true / false
+user.set_read_bit             # sets the bit in memory
+user.unset_read_bit           # clears the bit in memory
+
+user.permissions_read         # alias for read_bit?
+user.permissions_read = true  # accepts any truthy/falsy value
+user.permissions_read = false
+
+user.was_previously_read_bit? # dirty-tracking: state before last save
+```
+
+### Bulk operations
+
+```ruby
+user.set_permissions(:read, :admin)    # OR-in multiple bits
+user.unset_permissions(:write)         # AND-NOT-out multiple bits
+
+user.associated_permissions            # => ["read", "admin"]
+user.permissions_values                # => {"read"=>1, "write"=>2, "admin"=>4}
+```
+
+### Scopes
+
+```ruby
+User.with_permissions(:read)               # any of the given bits set
+User.with_permissions([:read, :write])
+
+User.with_exact_permissions([:read, :write])  # ALL given bits set (superset)
+
+User.without_permissions(:admin)           # none of the given bits set
+```
+
+### Aliases
+
+Map alternative names to existing keys:
+
+```ruby
+bitwise_attribute :flags, :active, :verified, aliases: { confirmed: :verified }
+
+user.set_flags(:confirmed)         # sets :verified bit
+User.with_flags(:confirmed)        # same as with_flags(:verified)
+```
+
+### Class-level helpers
+
+```ruby
+User.extract_bitmask_keys(:permissions, 5)
+# => ["read", "admin"]
+
+User.decode_bitwise_values(:permissions, { 1 => 3, 2 => 4 })
+# => { 1 => ["read", "write"], 2 => ["admin"] }
+```
+
+### Inheritance
+
+Subclasses inherit all bitwise attribute definitions from their parent. Each subclass gets its own independent copy, so adding or redefining an attribute on a subclass does not affect the parent.
+
+```ruby
+class AdminUser < User
+  bitwise_attribute :permissions, :read, :write, :admin, :superadmin
+end
+
+AdminUser.bitwise_attributes[:permissions].keys  # => [..., "superadmin"]
+User.bitwise_attributes[:permissions].keys       # unchanged
+```
+
+## Development
+
+```sh
+bin/setup          # install dependencies
+bundle exec rake   # run tests + rubocop
+bundle exec rspec  # tests only
+bin/console        # interactive prompt with the gem loaded
+```
+
+To test against a specific Rails version:
+
+```sh
+RAILS_VERSION=6.1 bundle install && bundle exec rake
+```
