+# Laco — Lazy Configuration for Reproducible ML
+
+**LAzy COnfiguration** (Laco) is a Python-first configuration system that
+gives you type-checked, IDE-navigable configs with zero magic strings.
+It is compatible with [Hydra](https://hydra.cc/) and a drop-in
+alternative to [hydra-zen](https://mit-ll-responsible-ai.github.io/hydra-zen/).
+
+## Key ideas
+
+| Construct | Static type | What you get |
+|-----------|-------------|--------------|
+| `L.call(T)(**kw)` | `T` | lazy `_target_:` node |
+| `L.partial(T)(**kw)` | `functools.partial[T]` | lazy `_partial_: true` node |
+| `L.just(obj)` | `type(obj)` | identity-instantiated node |
+| `L.required[T]()` | `T` | `MISSING` sentinel |
+| `class G(L.Group[T])` | typed group | registers in Hydra ConfigStore |
+| `@L.config class S` | dataclass schema | structured-config target |
+| `@L.task` | task wrapper | auto-instantiates config fields |
+| `@laco.main(config_name=…)` | Hydra app | composes config + runs task |
+| `L.trace(lambda: …)` | `R` | records a config tree from Python |
+
+## 30-second example
+
+```python
+import laco
+import laco.language as L
+from torch import nn, optim
+
+# --- Groups: swappable variants ---
+class OptimGroup(L.Group[optim.Optimizer]):
+    sgd  = L.partial(optim.SGD)(lr=L.required[float](), momentum=0.9)
+    adam = L.partial(optim.Adam)(lr=1e-3)
+
+# --- Schema: typed config ---
+@L.config
+class TrainSchema:
+    epochs: int = 10
+    optimizer: optim.Optimizer = L.slot(OptimGroup)
+
+# --- Model ---
+model_cfg = L.call(nn.Linear)(in_features=784, out_features=10)
+
+# --- Task: runs with a composed config ---
+@laco.main(config_name="train")
+@L.task
+def run(model: nn.Module, optimizer: optim.Optimizer, epochs: int = 10):
+    opt = optimizer(model.parameters())
+    # ... training loop ...
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    run()
+```
+
+Override from the CLI:
+```
+python train.py optimizer=adam epochs=20
+python train.py -m optimizer=sgd,adam optimizer.lr=1e-2,1e-3   # multirun
+```
+
+## Tracing
+
+```python
+@L.configurable
+class Encoder:
+    def __init__(self, depth: int) -> None: ...
+
+# Records a config tree — no constructors run:
+cfg = L.trace(lambda: Encoder(depth=24))
+# Reproduce the object:
+enc = laco.instantiate(cfg)
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+The `sources/laco/examples/` directory contains a curriculum of examples:
+
+| Tier | Files | What it demonstrates |
+|------|-------|----------------------|
+| 0–1 | `mlp.py`, `linear_regression.py`, `cnn_classifier.py`, `text_classifier.py` | Basics: `L.call`, `L.params`, `L.required` |
+| 2 | `blocks/residual.py`, `blocks/transformer.py`, `blocks/decoder.py` | Building blocks |
+| 3–4 | `models/` | Vision & language model configs |
+| 5 | `integrations/` | Lightning, Transformers, TensorDict |
+| 6 | `pipelines/mnist_train.py`, `pipelines/clm_finetune.py` | End-to-end training pipelines with `@L.task` |
+
+Typed-group variants live in `examples/typed/` (same models, `@L.config` + `L.Group` API).
+
+## CLI
+
+```
+laco compose configs/train.py            # load & dump YAML
+laco compose configs/train.py lr=1e-3   # with overrides
+laco show   configs/train.py --groups   # list registered groups
+laco run    configs/train.py            # run the @L.task entry point
+laco diff   configs/a.py configs/b.py   # diff two config files
+laco app    my-project train --lr 1e-4  # run a laco.apps entry point
+```
+
+### `laco app` — simple argparse CLI for published configs
+
+Researchers and collaborators can reproduce experiments without knowing Hydra:
+
+```bash
+laco app my-project train --help          # show all available flags
+laco app my-project train --lr 1e-4       # override a hyperparameter
+laco app my-project train --dry-run       # preview resolved config as YAML
+laco app my-project train --save-dir out/ # save config.yaml before running
+```
+
+Flags are derived from `@L.params` blocks and `L.param()` declarations in
+the config file.  Authors register the entry point in `pyproject.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[project.entry-points."laco.apps"]
+train = "my_project.train:run"
+```
+
+See `docs/how-to/laco-app.md` for the full author and user guide.
+
+## Migration from 0.x
+
+Add `import laco.compat` once at startup to enable deprecation warnings
+for legacy `_target_: laco.ops.partial` configs. Run `laco fix <dir>` to
+rewrite them in-place.
+
+## Linting
+
+Two lint passes run in CI and are available locally:
+
+- `nix run .#lint` — ruff over `sources/` and `tests/`.
+- `nix run .#lie-lint` (or `laco-lint sources/`) — LACO001, a heuristic
+  AST check for attribute access on lie-typed Laco nodes. Suppress with
+  `# noqa: LACO001`.
