-# 🚀 CMDx — Business logic without the chaos
+# CMDx
 
-Stop wrestling with messy service objects. CMDx gives you a clean, consistent way to design business processes:
+Say goodbye to messy service objects. CMDx helps you design business logic with clarity and consistency—build faster, debug easier, and ship with confidence.
 
-- Start small with a single `work` method
-- Scale to complex tasks and multi-step workflows
-- Get built-in flow control, logging, validations, and more...
+## Requirements
 
-*Build faster. Debug easier. Stay sane.*
+- Ruby: MRI 3.1+ or JRuby 9.4+.
 
-## Compose, Execute, React, Observe pattern
-
-CMDx encourages breaking business logic into composable tasks. Each task can be combined into larger workflows, executed with standardized flow control, and fully observed through logging, validations, and context.
-
-- **Compose** → Define small, contract-driven tasks with typed attributes, validations, and natural workflow composition.
-- **Execute** → Run tasks with clear outcomes, intentional halts, and pluggable behaviors via middlewares and callbacks.
-- **React** → Adapt to outcomes by chaining follow-up tasks, handling faults, or shaping future flows.
-- **Observe** → Capture immutable results, structured logs, and full execution chains for reliable tracing and insight.
+CMDx works with any Ruby framework. Rails support is built-in, but it's framework-agnostic at its core.
 
 ## Installation
 
-Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
-
-```ruby
-gem 'cmdx'
+```sh
+gem install cmdx
+# - or -
+bundle add cmdx
 ```
 
-And then execute:
-
-    $ bundle
-
-Or install it yourself as:
-
-    $ gem install cmdx
-
