+## Single File Component (.wcc)
+
+wcCompiler uses a single-file component format with the `.wcc` extension. Each file contains three blocks:
+
+- `<script>` — Component logic (signals, props, events, lifecycle)
+- `<template>` — HTML template with directives
+- `<style>` — Scoped CSS
+
+```html
+<script>
+import { defineComponent, signal } from 'wcc'
+
+export default defineComponent({
+  tag: 'wcc-my-component',
+})
+
+const message = signal('Hello')
+</script>
+
+<template>
+<p>{{message()}}</p>
+</template>
+
+<style>
+p { color: steelblue; }
+</style>
+```
+
+Use `<script lang="ts">` for TypeScript support. The CLI discovers and compiles all `.wcc` files in your source directory.
