+# Usage
+
+This plugin normalizes column names in any given sheet, so that the names are:
+
+- Composed only of lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores.
+
+- Valid Python identifiers. This is mostly handled by the rule above, but also
+  prohibits names beginning with a digit; that is handled by prefixing those
+  names with an underscore.
+
+- Unique within the sheet. Non-unique names are suffixed with "__" and an
+  integer.
+
+Unnamed columns are left as such.
+
+For instance, a sheet with the following columns names:
+
+- "Genus, Species"
+- "Height"
+- "5-score"
+- "Height"
+- ""
+- ""
+
+... would be converted to have the following column names:
+
+- "genus_species"
+- "height__0"
+- "_5_score"
+- "height__1"
+- ""
+- ""
+
+## Commands
+
+- `normalize-col-names` normalizes the names of all *non-hidden* columns in the
+  active sheet, per the approach described above.
