+## About this repository
 
-<p>CLI for building web applications with the Slice.js framework</p>
-
-</div>
+This repository contains the Slice.js CLI (`slicejs-cli`), the command-line tool for developing applications with the Slice.js framework. It includes a development server, build system, component management, and more.
 
-## Installation
+## Prerequisites
 
-### Local (Recommended)
+- Node.js >= 20
+- npm or pnpm
 
-1. Install as a development dependency:
+## Local development
 
-```bash
-npm install slicejs-cli --save-dev
-```
+1. **Clone the repository**
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/VKneider/slicejs-cli.git
+   cd slicejs-cli
+   ```
 
-2. Add to your `package.json` scripts:
+2. **Install dependencies**
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   ```
 
-```json
-{
-  "scripts": {
-    "dev": "slice dev",
-    "build": "slice build",
-    "slice": "slice"
-  }
-}
-```
+3. **Test changes locally**
+   ```bash
+   node client.js --help
+   ```
 
-3. usage:
+   To bypass delegation to a global installation:
+   ```bash
+   SLICE_NO_LOCAL_DELEGATION=1 node client.js --help
+   ```
 
-```bash
-npm run dev
-# or pass arguments
-npm run slice -- get Button
-```
+4. **Run tests**
+   ```bash
+   npm test
+   ```
 
-4. Use `slice` directly when the launcher command is available on your system
-   (commonly after a global install that puts `slice` in your PATH).
-   The launcher delegates to your nearest project-local `node_modules/slicejs-cli`
-   so project-pinned behavior is used from the project root and subdirectories.
+## Installation (for users)
 
-```bash
-slice dev
-slice build
-slice version
-```
-
-If `slice` is not available in your shell, use:
-
-```bash
-npx slicejs-cli dev
-```
-
-You can disable launcher delegation for a command when needed:
+### Local (Recommended)
 
 ```bash
-SLICE_NO_LOCAL_DELEGATION=1 slice version
+npm install slicejs-cli --save-dev
 ```
 
-### Global (Not Recommended)
-
-Global installations can lead to version mismatches and "works on my machine" issues.
+### Global (Not recommended)
 
 ```bash
 npm install -g slicejs-cli
 ```
 
-## Usage
-
-After installation, prefer your project-local CLI. When the `slice` launcher command is
-available, it automatically delegates to the nearest local `slicejs-cli` install.
-
-Use the `slice` command directly:
-
-```bash
-slice [command] [options]
-```
-
-Or with npx (without global install):
-
-```bash
-npx slicejs-cli [command]
-```
-
-Use `npx slicejs-cli [command]` as a fallback when the `slice` launcher command is unavailable.
-
-## Essential Commands
-
-### Initialize a project
-
-```bash
-slice init
-```
-
-Initializes a Slice.js project with the full structure (`src/` and `api/`), installs initial Visual components, and configures npm scripts.
-
-### Development server
-
-```bash
-# Default port (3000)
-slice dev
-
-# Custom port
-slice dev -p 8080
-```
-
-### Production build + server
-
-```bash
-# Build production output (minified + obfuscated by default)
-slice build
-
-# Disable minification or obfuscation
-slice build --no-minify
-slice build --no-obfuscate
-
-# Start production server (serves /dist)
-slice start
-slice start -p 8080
-```
-
-### Component management (local)
-
-```bash
-# Create a component (interactive)
-slice component create
-
-# List local components
-slice component list
-
-# Delete a component (interactive)
-slice component delete
-```
-
-Shortcuts:
-```bash
-slice comp create
-slice comp ls
-slice comp remove
-```
-
-### Official component registry
-
-```bash
-# Install Visual components
-slice get Button Card Input
-
-# Install a Service component
-slice get FetchManager --service
-
-# Force overwrite
-slice get Button --force
-
-# Browse available components
-slice browse
+## Main commands
 
-# Update all local components
-slice sync
-slice sync --force
-```
-
-Shortcuts:
-```bash
-slice get Button
-slice browse
-slice sync
-```
-
-### Utilities
-
-```bash
-# Version info
-slice version
-slice v
-
-# Updates (CLI and Framework)
-slice update              # Check and prompt to update
-slice update --yes        # Update everything automatically
-slice update --cli        # CLI only
-slice update --framework  # Framework only
-
-# Help

+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `slice init` | Initialize a Slice.js project |
+| `slice dev` | Development server with hot reload |
+| `slice build` | Build for production |
+| `slice start` | Serve production build |
+| `slice get <component>` | Install components from the official registry |
+| `slice browse` | Browse available components |
+| `slice component create` | Create a local component |
+| `slice doctor` | Run project diagnostics |
+| `slice postinstall` | Configure npm scripts (alternative to postinstall) |
 
-## npm Scripts
+## Postinstall Scripts
 
-`slice init` automatically configures the recommended scripts in your `package.json`:
+When you install `slicejs-cli`, the `postinstall` script automatically configures `slice:*` npm scripts in your `package.json`:
 
 ```json
 {
   "scripts": {
-    "dev": "slice dev",
-    "start": "slice start",
-    "get": "slice get",
-    "browse": "slice browse",
-    "sync": "slice sync",
-    "component:create": "slice component create",
-    "component:list": "slice component list",
-    "component:delete": "slice component delete"
+    "slice:dev": "slice dev",
+    "slice:start": "slice start",
+    "slice:create": "slice component create",
+    "slice:list": "slice component list",
+    "slice:delete": "slice component delete",
+    "slice:init": "slice init",
+    "slice:get": "slice get",
+    "slice:browse": "slice browse",
+    "slice:sync": "slice sync",
+    "slice:version": "slice version",
+    "slice:update": "slice update"
   }
 }
 ```
 
-Usage:
+If you installed with `--ignore-scripts`, run manually:
+
 ```bash
-npm run dev
-npm run get
-npm run browse
+npx slicejs-cli postinstall
 ```
 
-## Quick Start

-# 4. Start development server
-slice dev
+# 3. Initialize
+npx slicejs-cli init
 
-# 5. Open browser at http://localhost:3000
+# 4. Development
+npx slicejs-cli dev
 ```
 
-## Common Workflows
+## Tests
 
-### Starting a New Project
+The CLI uses Node.js native test runner:
 
 ```bash
-slice init
-slice dev
-```
+# All tests
+node --test
 
-### Production Build + Start
-
-```bash
-slice build
-slice start
+# Specific tests
+node --test tests/postinstall-command.test.js
 ```
 
-### Adding Components
+## Project structure
 
-```bash
-# Browse available components
-slice browse
-
-# Install specific components
-slice get Button Card Input
-
-# Create custom component
-slice component create
 ```
-
-### Keeping Components Updated
-
-```bash
-# Check what needs updating
-slice browse
-
-# Update all components
-slice sync

-## Development Mode
+## Local delegation
 
-The development server (`slice dev`) provides:
-
-- ✅ Hot reload
-- ✅ Serves directly from `/src`
-- ✅ No build step
-- ✅ Port validation
-- ✅ Clear error messages
-
-## Production Mode
-
-The production workflow uses `slice build` + `slice start`:
-
-- ✅ Builds to `/dist`
-- ✅ Generates bundles into `/dist/bundles`
-- ✅ Generates a dedicated framework bundle for Structural components (`slice-bundle.framework.js`)
-- ✅ Minifies + obfuscates by default
-- ✅ Serves production assets only
-
-## Requirements
-
-- Node.js >= 20.0.0
-- npm or yarn
-
-## Configuration
-
-Project configuration is stored in `src/sliceConfig.json` and is created automatically by `slice init`.
-
-In production, `publicFolders` defines **public asset folders** served by the server (defaults to
-`/Themes`, `/Styles`, `/assets`). This keeps source-only folders private while exposing the assets
-your app needs.
-
-## Features
-
-- 🚀 Development server with hot reload
-- 📦 Official component registry
-- 🎨 Visual and Service component types
-- ✨ Interactive component creation
-- 🔄 Automatic component synchronization
-- 🛠️ Built-in validation and error handling
-
-### Smart Updates
-
-- Detects whether the CLI in use is global or local
-- Shows an update plan (GLOBAL/PROJECT) before execution
-- Offers to include global CLI update interactively
-- Applies `uninstall` + `install @latest` to ensure latest versions
-
-### Cross-platform Paths
-
-- Centralized path helper avoids `../../..`
-- Windows/Linux/Mac compatibility using `import.meta.url` and `fileURLToPath`
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Port already in use
+When the `slice` command is globally available, it automatically delegates to the project-local CLI (`node_modules/slicejs-cli`). To disable:
 
 ```bash
-# Use a different port
-slice dev -p 8080
+SLICE_NO_LOCAL_DELEGATION=1 slice version
 ```
