 ### Commands
 
-- `swatchkit` (Default): Builds the library.
-- `swatchkit init`: Scaffolds the layout and token files. If the project is already initialized, prints a status report showing which files differ from their blueprints (auto dry-run).
-- `swatchkit init --force`: Overwrites all init-managed files with the latest blueprints. Custom swatch files and CSS files without blueprint counterparts are never touched.
-- `swatchkit init --dry-run`: Shows what would be created or changed without writing anything.
+- `swatchkit new`: Creates `swatchkit.config.js`. Prompts for your CSS directory location. Run this first in any new project.
+- `swatchkit new --cssDir ./src/css`: Non-interactive — creates config without prompting.
+- `swatchkit new --force`: Overwrites an existing config (backs up the old one).
+- `swatchkit scaffold`: Copies CSS blueprints, token JSON files, and layout templates into your project using the settings from `swatchkit.config.js`. If already scaffolded, prints a status report.
+- `swatchkit scaffold --force`: Overwrites all scaffold-managed files with the latest blueprints (with backups).
+- `swatchkit scaffold --dry-run`: Shows what would be created or changed without writing anything.
+- `swatchkit` (Default): Builds the pattern library.
