-### Usage
-This npm package comes with everything you need to start your own gulp plugin.
+## Install the package
+    npm install smartcli
 
-We recommend modifying the ts/index.ts file, 
-then run `npm install` to install the dev dependencies
-and use `npm test` to compile the TypeScript file.
- 
-Cheers  
+## Usage
+
+this plugin tries to establish some logic in which CLI tools work.
+
+take the following commandline input:
+
+```
+mytool function argument1 argument2 --option1 option1Value --option2 option2Value
+```
+
+* 'mytool' obviously is the tool (like git)
+* function is the main thing the tool shall do (like commit)
+* option is an option you can add (like -m for message)
+* optionValue is the referenced option value (like a commit message)
+
+
+### The inner organization of smartcli
+**smartcli** exposes three major groups of functions:
+
+* check functions
+  * are grouped in **smartcli.checks** object
+* get functions
+  * are grouped in **smartcli.get** object
+* async interaction functions
+  * are grouped in **smartcli.interaction** object
+
+```js
+var smartcli = require("smartcli");
+
+/* -------------- Check Functions -------------------*/
+//returns true for terminal command "node myjs.js jazz"
+smartcli.check.command('jazz'); 
+
+/**
+* returns an object for terminal command "node myjs.js --myoption something" like so
+* {
+*   name: 'myoption',
+*   specified: true,
+*   value: 'something'
+* }
+*/
+smartcli.get.option('myoption');
+```
