 # boilerforge
 
 A blazing-fast CLI utility that scaffolds clean, ready-to-use project structures so you can skip the setup and start building instantly.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install -g boilerforge
+# or
+yarn global add boilerforge
+# or
+pnpm add -g boilerforge
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+boilerforge create <template> [options]
+```
+
+### Commands
+
+| Command                  | Description                        |
+| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------- |
+| `create <template>`      | Create a project from a template   |
+| `list-templates`         | List all available templates       |
+| `show-config <template>` | Show a template's configuration    |
+| `-v, --version`          | Output the version number          |
+
+### Interactive Mode
+
+Run `boilerforge create <template>` to launch an interactive prompt session:
+
+```bash
+boilerforge create create-node-app
+```
+
+You'll be guided through a series of prompts to configure your project (e.g., project name, package manager, TypeScript, etc.).
+
+### CLI Mode
+
+For non-interactive environments, pass options via `--cli-config`:
+
+```bash
+boilerforge create create-simple-app --cli-config "name=my-app;description=My app;version=1.0.0;author=me;packageManager=pnpm;isTypescript=true;isEslintPrettier=true"
+```
+
+The format is `key=value` pairs separated by `;`.
+
+### Listing Templates
+
+```bash
+boilerforge list-templates
+```
+
+### Viewing Template Configuration
+
+```bash
+boilerforge show-config <template>
+```
+
+## Available Templates

+| Template            | Description                          |
+| ------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
+| `create-node-app`   | Scaffolds a Node.js project          |
+
+## Creating Custom Templates
+
+See the [Creating Custom Templates](docs/creating-custom-templates.md) guide for detailed documentation on how to build and use your own templates.
+
+## Template Structure
+
+Templates live in the `templates/` directory and follow this structure:
+
+```
+templates/<template-name>/
+├── forge.config.json     # Template metadata and file configuration
+├── forge.prompt.json     # Interactive prompts definition
+├── schema/               # JSON schemas for validation
+└── app/                  # Template files (Handlebars)
+```
+
+- **forge.config.json** — Contains metadata (name, version) and conditional file rules using Jexl expressions (e.g., `"src/index.ts": "isTypescript == true"`).
+- **forge.prompt.json** — Defines the interactive prompts (text, select, toggle) with validation rules.
+- **app/** — Handlebars templates (`.hbs` files) that get compiled with user-provided values.
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+pnpm install
+
+# Build
+pnpm run build
+
+# Run in dev mode
+pnpm run dev -- create <template>
