+### Lint
+
+Check docs for fixable frontmatter issues and optionally auto-fix them:
+
+```bash
+dotmd lint                   # report issues
+dotmd lint --fix             # fix all issues
+dotmd lint --fix --dry-run   # preview fixes without writing
+```
+
+Detected issues:
+- Missing `updated` date on non-archived docs
+- Status casing mismatch (e.g., `Active` → `active`)
+- camelCase frontmatter keys (e.g., `nextStep` → `next_step`)
+- Trailing whitespace in frontmatter values
+- Missing newline at end of file
+
+### Rename
+
+Rename a document and update all frontmatter references across your docs:
+
+```bash
+dotmd rename old-name.md new-name        # renames + updates refs
+dotmd rename old-name.md new-name -n     # preview without writing
+```
+
+Uses `git mv` for the rename and scans all reference fields for the old filename. Body markdown links are warned about but not auto-fixed.
+
+### Migrate
+
+Batch update a frontmatter field value across all docs:
+
+```bash
+dotmd migrate status research exploration   # rename a status
+dotmd migrate module auth identity          # rename a module
+dotmd migrate module auth identity -n       # preview
+```
+
+### Watch Mode
+
+```bash
+dotmd watch              # re-run list on every .md change
+dotmd watch check        # live validation
+dotmd watch context      # live briefing
+```
+
+### Diff & Summarize
+
+Show git changes since each document's `updated` frontmatter date:
+
+```bash
+dotmd diff                           # all drifted docs
+dotmd diff docs/plans/auth.md        # single file

+dotmd diff --summarize --model mlx-community/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3-4bit
+```
+
+The `--summarize` flag requires `uv` and a local MLX-compatible model. No JS dependencies are added.

 ## Features
 
 - **Zero dependencies** — pure Node.js builtins (`fs`, `path`, `child_process`)
 - **No build step** — ships as plain ESM, runs directly
 - **Git-aware** — detects frontmatter date drift vs git history, uses `git mv` for archives
+- **Dry-run everything** — preview any mutation with `--dry-run` / `-n`
 - **Configurable everything** — statuses, taxonomy, lifecycle, validation rules, display
 - **Hook system** — extend with JS functions, no plugin framework to learn
 - **LLM-friendly** — `dotmd context` generates compact briefings for AI assistants
+- **Shell completion** — bash and zsh via `dotmd completions`
