+
+## Basic Usage Instructions
+
+To get started with RAS-Commander, follow these steps:
+
+1. Install the library:
+   ```
+   pip install ras-commander
+   ```
+
+2. Import the necessary modules:
+   ```python
+   from ras_commander import rasinit, RasFileOps, RasPrj, RasPlan, RasGeo, RasUnsteady, RasCommander, RasUtils
+   ```
+
+3. Initialize a HEC-RAS project:
+   ```python
+   project_folder = r"C:\path\to\your\project"
+   ras_exe_path = r"C:\Program Files (x86)\HEC\HEC-RAS\6.5\Ras.exe"
+   config = rasinit(project_folder, ras_exe_path)
+   ```
+
+4. Perform operations on your HEC-RAS project. For example:
+
+   - Execute a single plan:
+     ```python
+     plan_file = RasPlan.get_plan_path("01")
+     RasCommander.compute_plan(plan_file)
+     ```
+
+   - Run multiple plans in parallel:
+     ```python
+     max_workers = 2
+     cores_per_run = 1
+     results = RasCommander.compute_parallel(config, max_workers, cores_per_run)
+     ```
+
+   - Copy and modify geometry files:
+     ```python
+     RasGeo.clone_geom(config.project_folder, "01")
+     plan_file = RasPlan.get_plan_path("01")
+     RasGeo.set_geom(plan_file, "02")
+     ```
+
+   - Work with unsteady flow files:
+     ```python
+     new_unsteady_number = RasUnsteady.clone_unsteady(config.project_folder, "01")
+     plan_file = RasPlan.get_plan_path("01")
+     RasUnsteady.set_unsteady(plan_file, new_unsteady_number)
+     ```
+
+5. Access project information:
+   ```python
+   print(f"Project name: {config.project_name}")
+   print(f"Project file: {config.prj_file}")
+   print(f"Project folder: {config.project_folder}")
+   ```
+
+For more detailed examples and advanced usage, refer to the function documentation and the examples provided in the repository.

+
+Potential Uses of HEC-RAS Automation Functions
+This set of functions provides a powerful foundation for automating various aspects of HEC-RAS modeling workflows. Here are some potential applications:
+1. Calibration and Sensitivity Analysis:
+Automated Parameter Variation: Users can create multiple simulation scenarios with varying parameters (e.g., Manning's n values, boundary conditions, initial conditions) to calibrate their model against observed data.
+Sensitivity Testing: Evaluate the impact of different input parameters on model outputs by generating a range of scenarios and analyzing the results. This helps identify critical parameters that require more attention during calibration.
+2. Real-time Forecasting:
+Dynamic Model Updates: Integrate with external data sources (e.g., weather forecasts, streamflow observations) to automatically update boundary conditions and initial conditions in unsteady flow files before running the simulation.
+Ensemble Forecasting: Generate multiple forecasts by incorporating uncertainty in input data and model parameters. This provides a more comprehensive understanding of potential future flow conditions.
+3. Scenario Analysis:
+Land Use Change Impacts: Evaluate the effects of land use changes on flood risk by modifying Manning's n values using extract_2d_mannings_tables, modify_2d_mannings_table, and write_2d_mannings_tables and running simulations with updated geometry files.
+Climate Change Impacts: Analyze the potential impacts of projected climate changes on flood risk by adjusting precipitation patterns and other relevant parameters in unsteady flow files.
+4. Batch Processing and High-Performance Computing:
+Large-scale Model Runs: Utilize run_plans_parallel to execute multiple simulations concurrently on a multi-core system, significantly reducing processing time for large-scale models or complex scenarios.
+Automated Report Generation: Integrate with Python libraries like matplotlib and bokeh to automatically generate customized reports summarizing simulation results, including tables, figures, and maps.
+5. Model Development and Testing:
+Rapid Prototyping: Quickly set up and run new model configurations using template files and automated workflows, facilitating rapid model development and testing.
+Regression Testing: Ensure model integrity and consistency after code changes or updates by automatically running a predefined set of simulations and comparing results with expected outputs.
+6. User-Friendly Interfaces:
+GUI Development: Integrate with Python GUI libraries like Tkinter or PyQt to create user-friendly interfaces for automating HEC-RAS workflows, allowing non-programmers to access the power of automation.

+## Inclusion of .cursorrules for AI-driven Coding Experience
+
+Open the ras_commander folder in the Cursor IDE, and it will automatically include the .cursorrules file in your instructions.  Additionally, two other provided methods for interacting with the library though your current AI subscriptions: 
+
+- ChatGPT:  ras_commander GPT Assistant (LINK HERE)
+- Latest LLM summaries of the code base:
+   - Entire code base: LINK HERE (TOKEN COUNT) (for Claude or Gemini)
+   - Examples and Function Docstrings Only: LINK HERE (TOKEN COUNT) (for GPT-4o, o1 or Llama 3.1 405b)
+- Cursor IDE through .cursorrules file
+
+There are a series of scripts provided in the "llm_summaries" folder that provide summaries of the code base, and the docstrings of the functions.  They can be run in your local environment, or provided to ChatGPT's code interpreter for execution.  
+
+## RAS-Commander GPT Assistant 
+
+The ras_commander GPT assistant has access the entire code base, and can be a helpful tool for understanding the library and its capabilities.  However, it is subject to the same context window limitations and file retrieval limtations as I have covered in ADD BLOG LINK HERE.  For best results, use the llm summaries above to provide robust context to the model before asking to generate complex workflows.

+## Acknowledgments
+
+ras_commander is based on the HEC-Commander project's "Command Line is All You Need" approach, leveraging the HEC-RAS command-line interface for automation. The initial development of this library was presented in the HEC-Commander Tools repository.  In a 2024 Australian Water School webinar, Bill demonstrated the derivation of basic HEC-RAS automation functions from plain language instructions. Leveraging the previously developed code and AI tools, the library was created. The primary tools used for this initial development were Anthropic's Claude, GPT-4o, Google's Gemini Experimental models,and the Cursor AI Coding IDE.

+## Inclusion of .cursorrules for AI-driven Coding Experience
+
+Open the ras_commander folder in the Cursor IDE, and it will automatically include the .cursorrules file in your instructions.  Additionally, two other provided methods for interacting with the library though your current AI subscriptions: 
+
+- ChatGPT:  ras_commander GPT Assistant (LINK HERE)
+- Latest LLM summaries of the code base:
+   - Entire code base: LINK HERE (TOKEN COUNT) (for Claude or Gemini)
+   - Examples and Function Docstrings Only: LINK HERE (TOKEN COUNT) (for GPT-4o, o1 or Llama 3.1 405b)
+- Cursor IDE through .cursorrules file
+
+There are a series of scripts provided in the "llm_summaries" folder that provide summaries of the code base, and the docstrings of the functions.  They can be run in your local environment, or provided to ChatGPT's code interpreter for execution.  
+
+## RAS-Commander GPT Assistant 
+
+The ras_commander GPT assistant has access the entire code base, and can be a helpful tool for understanding the library and its capabilities.  However, it is subject to the same context window limitations and file retrieval limtations as I have covered in ADD BLOG LINK HERE.  For best results, use the llm summaries above to provide robust context to the model before asking to generate complex workflows.

+## Acknowledgments
+
+ras_commander is based on the HEC-Commander project's "Command Line is All You Need" approach, leveraging the HEC-RAS command-line interface for automation. The initial development of this library was presented in the HEC-Commander Tools repository.  In a 2024 Australian Water School webinar, Bill demonstrated the derivation of basic HEC-RAS automation functions from plain language instructions. Leveraging the previously developed code and AI tools, the library was created. The primary tools used for this initial development were Anthropic's Claude, GPT-4o, Google's Gemini Experimental models,and the Cursor AI Coding IDE.
