 # Toolcraft CLI
 
-Package entrypoint for creating standalone Toolcraft apps.
+Create standalone Toolcraft apps from the command line.
+
+Toolcraft is a Pixel Point starter kit and UI/runtime library for building
+personal creative design tools with AI. It gives generated apps a ready canvas,
+control panel, export flow, AI workflow instructions, and verification checks so
+you can focus prompts on the visual idea instead of rebuilding common creative
+tool plumbing.
+
+You use Toolcraft when a custom tool is faster or clearer than forcing a broad
+design app to fit one specific job: procedural graphics, image effects, branded
+asset generators, animation controllers, shader experiments, or quick visual
+tools for client work.
+
+## Usage
 
 ```bash
 npx @pixel-point/toolcraft create
@@ -12,14 +25,20 @@ After dependencies are installed, Toolcraft installs the required workflow skill
 in a batch through the `skills` CLI. The skill installer uses the same agent,
 scope, and installation prompts as `npx skills add`.
