-# Temporary Holding Version
+# @rulecad/variables
 
-This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
+Design values you can trace. Every measurement is a variable, and every variable can say where it comes from: a
+printer's spec, a standard, a community figure, or something you measured (`kind`: spec, community, measured or
+estimate, with its `source`). Expressions are parsed, never `eval`'d, so a JSON file can't run code. No dependencies;
+browsers and Node 18+.
+
+```js
+import { resolve } from '@rulecad/variables';
+
+const printer = { name: 'printer', rules: {
+  line: { value: 0.42, unit: 'mm', kind: 'spec', source: 'Bambu Lab wiki' },
+  wall: { value: 'line * 3' },
+} };
+const tray = {
+  uses: ['printer'],
+  variables: {
+    wall:   { value: 'printer.wall', label: 'Wall' },
+    length: { value: 120, unit: 'mm', tweak: { min: 80, max: 160 } },
+    inner:  { value: 'length - 2 * wall' },
+  },
+};
+
+const { values, entries } = resolve(tray, { sets: { printer }, set: { length: 140 } });
+values.inner          // 137.48
+entries               // every variable and rule with its value, source and whether anything used it
+```
+
+- **Expressions:** `+ - * /`, brackets, `min`, `max`, `round(x, step)`, and `sind`/`cosd`/`tand` in degrees, over
+  numbers and names. `evaluate(src, lookup)` runs one on its own.
+- **Rule sets** are handed in through `sets`, or fetched by name with `load: (name) => …` (from files, a URL, anywhere).
+- **Tweaks:** only variables with a `tweak` range can be set, and only within it. Errors say which variable and why.
+- **Names, not numbers:** `choice: [...]`, `type: 'text'` or `type: 'anchor'` (one of `ANCHORS`: tl tc tr / ml mc
+  mr / bl bc br) hold names, and they're checked too.
+- **display:** values for a lighter on-screen copy (fewer segments, no fine detail). They aren't checked and they
+  don't change what prints.
+- **`lint(source)`** lists the number literals in a design's code that should be variables. Only 0, 1 and 2 pass, plus
+  anything in comments or strings. It's how "every measurement is a variable" gets checked.
