 # Invariant CLI
 
-A package manager for Claude AI specification files. Install, compose, and manage reusable markdown instruction blocks for your `CLAUDE.md` files.
+A package manager for AI coding-agent context. Install, compose, and sync reusable agents, skills, commands, rules, contexts, and instructions into `.claude/`, `.cursor/`, and other CLI target folders.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js `>= 24`
+- `git` on `PATH` (used for GitHub package sources)
 
 ## Installation
 
 ```bash
-yarn global add @invariant--labs/cli
+# npm
+npm install -g @invariant.guru/cli
+
+# yarn
+yarn global add @invariant.guru/cli
+
+# pnpm
+pnpm add -g @invariant.guru/cli
 ```
 
-## Quick Start
+Verify and keep it current:
 
 ```bash
-# Initialize a project
-invariant init
+invariant version
+invariant update --check
+invariant update
+```
 
-# Install a package
-invariant install everything-claude-code
+## Getting Started
 
-# Add items from the package
-invariant add agent:everything-claude-code/planner
+The core loop is **init → install → add → sync**, with `plan` on top when you start a task.
 
-# Generate CLAUDE.md
-invariant claude
+### 1. `invariant init` — set up the project
+
+Run once at the repository root. Creates `invariant.json` (the manifest) and `.invariant/` (cache, contexts, instructions, sessions, codegraph).
+
+```bash
+invariant init                      # defaults to the `claude` target
+invariant init claude cursor        # multiple targets
+invariant init --name my-project
+```
+
+Supported targets: `claude`, `codex`, `cursor`, `windsurf`, `aider`, `copilot`.
+
+### 2. `invariant install` — pull a package
+
+Packages come from the registry or straight from GitHub. Installing caches the package **and** activates its items.
+
+```bash
+# From GitHub (owner/repo, optional #ref)
+invariant install github:invariant-guru/inv-nest-clean-architecture
+
+# Pin a branch or tag
+invariant install github:invariant-guru/inv-nest-clean-architecture#main
+
+# From the registry (same package, published name)
+invariant install nest-clean-architecture
+```
+
+This writes the package into `invariant.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "packages": {
+    "nest-clean-architecture": {
+      "name": "nest-clean-architecture",
+      "version": "1.0.0",
+      "source": "github",
+      "sourceUrl": "github:invariant-guru/inv-nest-clean-architecture"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 3. `invariant add` — pick what's active
+
+`install` already activates everything. Use `add` to curate: a whole package, one item type, or a single item.
+
+**Add the whole module** — every agent, skill, command, rule, context, and instruction the package ships:
+
+```bash
+invariant add nest-clean-architecture
+```
+
+```
+Adding all items from nest-clean-architecture...
+✓ Added items from nest-clean-architecture
+  agents:
+    - clean-architect
+  skills:
+    - implement-aggregate-root
+    - implement-command
+    - implement-query
+    - ...
+  rules:
+    - aggregate-root
+    - command
+    - ...
+  instructions:
+    - nest-clean-architecture
+```
+
+**Add one type** — e.g. only the skills, or only the rules:
+
+```bash
+invariant add skills:nest-clean-architecture
+invariant add rules:nest-clean-architecture
+```
+
+**Add single items** — one target per item, mixed types allowed:
+
+```bash
+invariant add agent:nest-clean-architecture/clean-architect
+invariant add skill:nest-clean-architecture/implement-command \
+             rule:nest-clean-architecture/command
 ```
 
+Check what landed with `invariant inspect nest-clean-architecture`, or use `invariant add-interactive` for a checkbox tree of every installed item.
+
+### 4. `invariant sync` — write the files
+
+`sync` renders the active set into each configured target: `CLAUDE.md`, `.claude/agents/`, `.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md`, `.claude/commands/`, `.claude/rules/`, and the equivalents for other targets.
+
+```bash
+invariant sync
+invariant sync --target claude
+```
+
+`add`, `install`, and `add-interactive` all accept `-s, --sync` to do this in one shot:
+
+```bash
+invariant install github:invariant-guru/inv-nest-clean-architecture --sync
+```
+
+### 5. `invariant plan` — start a task
+
+Composes a session file under `.invariant/sessions/` containing your prompt plus the active instructions (and optionally a context), then prints the one-liner to paste into your agent.
+
+```bash
+invariant plan "implement the cargo booking command"
+invariant plan "implement the cargo booking command" --context nest-clean-architecture/dev
+invariant plan "implement the cargo booking command" --full
+```
+
+When the session is done, stamp it:
+
+```bash
+invariant plan:complete <session-id> --summary "Booking command + tests"
+```
+
+### Full walkthrough
+
+```bash
+invariant init claude
+invariant install github:invariant-guru/inv-nest-clean-architecture
+invariant add nest-clean-architecture   # activate the whole module
+invariant sync
+invariant plan "add the cargo booking command"
+```

+
+Update the CLI to the latest version, using the package manager it was installed with.
