+# ObjectSpell
+
+A small asyncio framework for wiring components together with signals, without registries,
+decorators, or callback lists. You declare what a component sends and what it listens to;
+ObjectSpell connects them by name.
+
+Zero dependencies. Python 3.12+.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pip install objectspell   # or: uv add objectspell
+```
+
+## Quick start
+
+Each component lives in its own module. Here `X` sends a message, `Y` prints it, and the
+program stops once `Y` is done.
+
+**`x.py`** — sends `something_happened`
+
+```python
+from objectspell import struct
+
+
+class Emitter(struct.Emitter):
+    async def something_happened(self, message: str) -> None:
+        pass  # a declaration, not an implementation
+
+
+class X(struct.State, Emitter):
+    async def action(self) -> None:
+        await self.something_happened(message="OK Computer")
+
+
+class Connector(struct.Receiver, X):
+    async def connected(self) -> None:
+        await self.action()
+
+    async def disconnected(self) -> None:
+        pass
+```
+
+**`y.py`** — listens to `X`, then reports it is done
+
+```python
+from objectspell import struct
+
+
+class Emitter(struct.Emitter):
+    async def completed(self) -> None:
+        pass
+
+
+class Y(struct.State, Emitter):
+    async def show(self, message: str) -> None:
+        print("Y received:", message)
+        await self.completed()
+
+
+class X(struct.Receiver, Y):
+    async def something_happened(self, message: str) -> None:
+        await self.show(message)
+```
+
+**`connector.py`** — stops everything when `Y` is done
+
+```python
+from objectspell import struct
+from objectspell.struct import Connector
+
+
+class Y(struct.Receiver, Connector):
+    async def completed(self) -> None:
+        await self.disconnect()
+```
+
+**`main.py`**
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+
+from connector import Connector
+from x import X
+from y import Y
+
+
+async def main() -> None:
+    await Connector().connect([X(), Y()])
+
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+```console
+$ python main.py
+Y received: OK Computer
+```
+
+Notice that `X` and `Y` never import each other. The only thing linking them is the class
+name: `y.py` declares `class X(struct.Receiver, Y)`, which means "on `Y`, handle signals
+from `X`".
+
+## The four pieces
+
+- **Emitter** — declares the signals a component can send. The method bodies are never run;
+  ObjectSpell replaces them with senders.
+- **State** — a component. It owns a queue and handles one signal at a time.
+- **Receiver** — a handler group attached to a State, **named after the State it listens to**.
+- **Connector** — starts and stops the whole topology.
+
+## Documentation

+- [Wiring](https://github.com/invertedpoint/objectspell-py/blob/main/docs/wiring.md) — the naming rule, and why each component gets its own module
