 ## Install the package
     npm install smartcli --save
@@ -17,38 +26,35 @@ 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 function argument1 argument2 --option1 -o2 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)
+* argument1 and argument2 are arguments
+* option1 is a longform option you can add (like --message for message)
 * optionValue is the referenced option value (like a commit message)
 
+```javascript
+import {Smartcli} from "smartcli"
+mySmartcli = new Smartcli();
+mySmartcli.standardTask()
+  .then(argvArg => {
+    // do something if program is called without an command
+  });
 
-### The inner organization of smartcli
-**smartcli** exposes three major groups of functions:
+mySmartcli.addCommand({commandname: 'install'})
+  .then(argvArg => {
+    // do something if program is called with command "install"
+  })
 
-* 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
+mySmartcli.addVersion('1.0.0') // -v and --version options will display the specified version in the terminal
 
+mySmartCli.addHelp({ // is triggered by help command and --help option
+  helpText: 'some help text to print' // the helpText to display
+})
 
-### Methods
-The examples are written in TypeScript
-```typescript
-import * as smartcli from  "smartcli"
-
-/* -------------- Check Functions -------------------*/
-smartcli.check.command("jazz"); // check  for a special command.
-smartcli.check.commandPresence() // check if any command is specified
-smartcli.check.commandArguemnt("myargument",1) // checks if a special argument is given, second argument is level
-smartcli.check.commandArguemntPresence // checks of any Argument is present
-smartcli.check.option("someoption") // checks for a specific option
-smartcli.check.optionPresence() // checks if any option is specified
-smartcli.get.option('myoption'); // 
+mySmartcli.startParse() // starts the evaluation and fullfills or rejects promises.

+
+## Install the package
+    npm install smartcli --save
+
+## Usage
+
+this plugin tries to establish some logic in which CLI tools work.
+
+take the following commandline input:
+
+```
+mytool function argument1 argument2 --option1 -o2 option2Value
+```
+
+* 'mytool' obviously is the tool (like git)
+* function is the main thing the tool shall do (like commit)
+* argument1 and argument2 are arguments
+* option1 is a longform option you can add (like --message for message)
+* optionValue is the referenced option value (like a commit message)
+
+```typescript
+import {Smartcli} from "smartcli"
+mySmartcli = new Smartcli();
+mySmartcli.standardTask()
+  .then(argvArg => {
+    // do something if program is called without an command
+  });
+
+mySmartcli.question
+```
