+
+## FAQ
+
+**Q: Why are package.json and README.md included now?**  
+A: They were removed in early versions but added back because they provide essential context for AI tools and code reviewers.
+
+**Q: How do I ignore package.json?**  
+A: Add it to `repomeld.ignore.json` or use `--ignore package.json`
+
+**Q: Can I use this in CI/CD?**  
+A: Yes! Use `--no-update-check` and `--no-backup` for automated environments.
+
+**Q: Does it work on Windows?**  
+A: Yes! Paths are normalized for cross-platform compatibility.
+
+**Q: How do I get just the file list without content?**  
+A: Use `--dry-run` to preview without writing.
+
+**Q: My binary files are being included?**  
+A: repomeld uses intelligent binary detection. If something slips through, use `--ext` to filter specific extensions.
