+- Compiles metadata.
+- Scaffolds new projects (`create`).
+
+## Installation
+
+### Global Installation (Recommended)
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @objectstack/cli
+# or
+pnpm add -g @objectstack/cli
+```
+
+### Local Development
+
+```bash
+pnpm add -D @objectstack/cli
+```
+
+## Commands
+
+### `objectstack serve`
+
+Start an ObjectStack server with automatic plugin loading and configuration.
+
+```bash
+# Start server with default config (objectstack.config.ts)
+objectstack serve
+
+# Specify custom config file
+objectstack serve my-config.ts
+
+# Custom port
+objectstack serve --port 8080
+
+# Development mode (loads devPlugins)
+objectstack serve --dev
+
+# Skip HTTP server plugin
+objectstack serve --no-server
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Auto-detects and loads `objectstack.config.ts`
+- Auto-injects ObjectQL Engine if objects are defined
+- Auto-injects Memory Driver in development mode
+- Auto-registers AppPlugin for app configurations
+- Finds available port if requested port is in use
+- Pretty logging in development mode
+- Graceful shutdown on SIGINT (Ctrl+C)
+
+**Example:**
+
+```typescript
+// objectstack.config.ts
+import { defineStack } from '@objectstack/spec';
+
+export default defineStack({
+  manifest: {
+    name: 'my-app',
+    version: '1.0.0'
+  },
+  objects: [
+    {
+      name: 'todo_task',
+      fields: {
+        subject: { type: 'text', label: 'Subject' },
+        completed: { type: 'boolean', default: false }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+```bash
+$ objectstack serve --dev
+
+🚀 ObjectStack Server
+------------------------
+📂 Config: objectstack.config.ts
+🌐 Port: 3000
+
+📦 Loading configuration...
+✓ Configuration loaded
+🔧 Initializing ObjectStack kernel...
+  Auto-injecting ObjectQL Engine...
+  ✓ Registered ObjectQL Plugin (auto-detected)
+  Auto-injecting Memory Driver (Dev Mode)...
+  ✓ Registered Memory Driver (auto-detected)
+  ✓ Registered App Plugin (auto-detected)
+  ✓ Registered HTTP server plugin (port: 3000)
+
+🚀 Starting ObjectStack...
+
+✅ ObjectStack server is running!
+   Press Ctrl+C to stop
+```
+
+### `objectstack dev`
+
+Start development mode with watch and hot-reload capabilities.
+
+```bash
+# Single package mode (if objectstack.config.ts exists in CWD)
+objectstack dev
+
+# Monorepo mode - run dev for all packages
+objectstack dev
+
+# Monorepo mode - filter specific package
+objectstack dev @objectstack/core
+```
+
+**Behavior:**
+- **Single Package Mode**: If `objectstack.config.ts` exists in current directory, delegates to `objectstack serve --dev` to start a development server with hot reload
+- **Monorepo Mode**: If `pnpm-workspace.yaml` exists in current directory (workspace root), executes `pnpm dev` with optional package filter to run development builds across multiple packages in the workspace. The command uses pnpm's workspace filtering to target specific packages or all packages.
+
+### `objectstack compile`
+
+Compile and validate ObjectStack configuration files.
+
+```bash
+# Compile default config
+objectstack compile
+
+# Custom source and output
+objectstack compile src/config.ts build/app.json
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Bundles TypeScript configuration files
+- Validates against ObjectStack Protocol using Zod schemas
+- Outputs optimized JSON artifact
+- Shows validation errors with exact field paths
+- Build time and artifact size reporting
+
+**Example:**
+
+```bash
+$ objectstack compile
+
+🔹 ObjectStack Compiler v0.1
+------------------------------
+📂 Source: objectstack.config.ts
+📦 Bundling Configuration...
+🔍 Validating Protocol Compliance...
+
+✅ Build Success (234ms)
+📦 Artifact: dist/objectstack.json (12.45 KB)
+✨ Ready for Deployment
+```
+
+### `objectstack doctor`
+
+Check development environment health and dependencies.
+
+```bash
+# Quick health check
+objectstack doctor
+
+# Detailed information with fix suggestions
+objectstack doctor --verbose
+```
+
+**Checks:**
+- ✓ Node.js version (>= 18.0.0 required)
+- ✓ pnpm package manager
+- ✓ TypeScript compiler
+- ✓ Dependencies installation status
+- ✓ @objectstack/spec build status
+- ✓ Git installation
+
+**Example Output:**
+
+```bash
+$ objectstack doctor
+
+🏥 ObjectStack Environment Health Check
+-----------------------------------------
+
+✓ Node.js             Version v20.10.0
+✓ pnpm                Version 10.28.1
+✓ TypeScript          Version 5.3.3
+✓ Dependencies        Installed
+✓ @objectstack/spec   Built
+✓ Git                 git version 2.39.0
+
+✅ Environment is healthy and ready for development!
+```
+
+### `objectstack create`
+
+Create new plugins or examples from templates.
+
+```bash
+# Create a plugin
+objectstack create plugin my-feature
+
+# Create an example
+objectstack create example todo-app
+
+# Custom directory
+objectstack create plugin auth --dir custom/path

+#### Plugin Template
+Creates a fully-configured ObjectStack plugin with:
+- `package.json` with dependencies
+- TypeScript configuration
+- Plugin implementation boilerplate
+- README with usage examples
+- Test setup with Vitest
+
+#### Example Template
+Creates an ObjectStack example application with:
+- `objectstack.config.ts` configuration
+- Build and dev scripts
+- TypeScript configuration
+- Example README
+
+**Example:**
+
+```bash
+$ objectstack create plugin authentication
+
+📦 ObjectStack Project Creator
+-------------------------------
+📁 Creating plugin: authentication
+📂 Location: packages/plugins/plugin-authentication
+
+✓ Created package.json
+✓ Created tsconfig.json
+✓ Created src/index.ts
+✓ Created README.md
+
+✅ Project created successfully!
+
+Next steps:
+  cd packages/plugins/plugin-authentication
+  pnpm install
+  pnpm build
+```
+
+### `objectstack test:run`
+
+Run Quality Protocol test scenarios against your ObjectStack server.
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests in qa/ directory
+objectstack test:run
+
+# Specific test file or pattern
+objectstack test:run qa/api-tests.json
+
+# Custom target URL
+objectstack test:run --url http://staging.example.com
+
+# With authentication
+objectstack test:run --token "Bearer xyz..."
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Executes test scenarios from JSON files
+- HTTP-based test adapter
+- Detailed step-by-step output
+- Pass/fail reporting with timing
+- Authentication support
+
+## Configuration File
+
+The CLI expects an `objectstack.config.ts` file in your project root:
+
+```typescript
+import { defineStack } from '@objectstack/spec';
+import type { ObjectStackDefinition } from '@objectstack/spec';
+
+export default defineStack({
+  // App metadata
+  manifest: {
+    name: 'my-app',
+    version: '1.0.0',
+    description: 'My ObjectStack Application'
+  },
+
+  // Data objects
+  objects: [
+    {
+      name: 'customer',
+      label: 'Customer',
+      fields: {
+        name: { type: 'text', label: 'Name', required: true },
+        email: { type: 'email', label: 'Email' },
+        phone: { type: 'phone', label: 'Phone' }
+      }
+    }
+  ],
+
+  // UI applications
+  apps: [
+    {
+      id: 'crm',
+      name: 'CRM',
+      objects: ['customer', 'opportunity']
+    }
+  ],
+
+  // Runtime plugins
+  plugins: [
+    // Your production plugins
+  ],
+
+  // Development-only plugins
+  devPlugins: [
+    // Loaded only with --dev flag
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+## Usage in Monorepo
+
+The CLI is monorepo-aware and works seamlessly in pnpm workspaces:
+
+```bash
+# From workspace root
+pnpm --filter @objectstack/spec build
+pnpm --filter my-app dev
+
+# Or use the CLI shorthand
+objectstack dev @objectstack/spec
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Server port (overridden by --port flag)
+PORT=3000
+
+# Node environment
+NODE_ENV=development|production
+```
+
+## Aliases
+
+The CLI binary is available as both `objectstack` and `os`:
+
+```bash
+objectstack serve
+# or
+os serve
+```
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### New Project Setup
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create a new example
+objectstack create example my-project
+
+# 2. Navigate to project
+cd examples/my-project
+
+# 3. Install dependencies
+pnpm install
+
+# 4. Start development server
+objectstack dev
+```
+
+### Plugin Development
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create plugin
+objectstack create plugin my-feature
+
+# 2. Implement plugin logic
+# Edit packages/plugins/plugin-my-feature/src/index.ts
+
+# 3. Build and test
+cd packages/plugins/plugin-my-feature
+pnpm build
+pnpm test
+```
+
+### Production Build
+
+```bash
+# 1. Compile configuration
+objectstack compile
+
+# 2. Run production server
+NODE_ENV=production objectstack serve --port 8080
+```
+
+## Integration with Package Scripts
+
+Add CLI commands to your `package.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "build": "objectstack compile",
+    "dev": "objectstack dev",
+    "serve": "objectstack serve",
+    "test": "objectstack test:run",
+    "doctor": "objectstack doctor"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Port Already in Use
+
+The CLI automatically finds an available port if the requested port is in use:
+
+```bash
+🌐 Port: 3001 (requested: 3000 in use)
+```
+
+### Configuration Not Found
+
+Ensure your config file exists and is properly named:
+
+```bash
+❌ Configuration file not found: /path/to/objectstack.config.ts
+```
+
+Default file name: `objectstack.config.ts`
+
+### Validation Errors
+
+The compiler will show detailed validation errors:
+
+```bash
+❌ Validation Failed!
+   - [objects.0.name] Expected snake_case, received "MyObject"
+   - [objects.0.fields.name.type] Invalid enum value. Expected 'text' | 'number' | ...
+```
+
+### Environment Issues
+
+Run the doctor command to diagnose:
+
+```bash
+objectstack doctor --verbose
+```
+
+## API Reference
+
+### Command Options
+
+All commands support `--help` for detailed usage:
+
+```bash
+objectstack --help
+objectstack serve --help
+objectstack compile --help
+```
+
+### Exit Codes
+
+- `0` - Success
+- `1` - Error (validation failed, file not found, etc.)
