 ## Usage
 
+### Introduction
+
+`@push.rocks/smartbucket` provides a robust set of features to manage cloud storage operations in a cloud-agnostic manner. By leveraging this library, you can seamlessly interact with object storage services like AWS S3, without being tied to any vendor-specific implementations. This library not only abstracts basic file operations but also integrates advanced capabilities such as metadata management, data streaming, file locking, and bucket policies, all through a simplified API.

 ### Setting Up
 
-Start by setting up `@push.rocks/smartbucket` in a TypeScript file, ensuring your project uses ECMAScript modules:
+Begin by importing the necessary classes from the `@push.rocks/smartbucket` package into your TypeScript file. Create an instance of `SmartBucket` with your storage configuration:

 #### Creating a New Bucket
 
-To create a new bucket, use the `createBucket` method. Remember that bucket names must be unique across the storage service:
+Creating a bucket involves invoking the `createBucket` method. Note that bucket names are unique and follow the rules of the cloud provider:

 #### Listing Buckets
 
-SmartBucket allows you to manage buckets but relies on the cloud provider's SDK for listing them. 
+While the library uses cloud-provider capabilities like AWS SDK to list existing buckets, `smartbucket` is aimed at simplifying content management within them.
 
 #### Deleting Buckets
