-# CliGenerator

-This is a crystal project to manage setting up OptionParser objects based around "Command" objects and arguments you define inside them.
+# cligen
+
+A Crystal shard that generates CLI parsers from class definitions using annotations and macros. Define your commands as classes; cligen builds the runtime parse tree.
+
+## How It Works
+
+Subclass `CliGen::Command`, annotate your instance variables with `@[CliGen::Argument]` or `@[CliGen::Selection]`, and register the command with an `CliGen::App`. At compile time, macros inspect the annotations and generate typed `Flag(T)` objects; at runtime, `CliGen::App.process` walks the `CommandNode` tree to route arguments, populate your command instance, and dispatch to the right method.

 ```crystal
 require "cligen"

+
+## AI Assistance Disclosure
+
+This project uses [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) as a development aid — specifically for catching bugs, spotting typos, reviewing implementations, and talking through design decisions. All architecture decisions, code, and design are written by the author. Claude is used the way one might use a second pair of eyes on a diff, not as a code generator.
+
+`CLAUDE.md` at the repo root documents the project structure for Claude's context. `.claude/` holds project-level Claude Code settings.
