 # Python CLI Template
 
-A minimal Cookiecutter template for building personal CLI tools with `uv`, Typer, and strict typing.
+Minimal Cookiecutter template for python CLI tools. Python 3.12+, uv, Typer, ruff, mypy, pytest.
 
-## Features
+## Usage
 
-- CLI with Typer
-- `uv_build` backend and lockfile-first reproducibility
-- Ruff for linting/formatting
-- MyPy strict mode
-- Pytest with coverage
-- Invoke tasks for common operations
+```bash
+cruft create git@git.roxautomation.com:sjev/python-cli-template.git
+cd your-project
+uv sync --frozen --group dev
+uv run invoke lint
+uv run invoke test
+```
 
-## Quick Start
-
-1. Generate a new project:
-   ```bash
-   cruft create git@git.roxautomation.com:sjev/python-cli-template.git
-   ```
-
-   Or locally:
-   ```bash
-   cookiecutter /path/to/python-cli-template
-   ```
-
-2. Post-generation hook runs `uv lock` to create `uv.lock`.
-
-3. Bootstrap the generated project:
-   ```bash
-   uv sync --frozen --group dev
-   uv run invoke lint
-   uv run invoke test
-   ```
-
-## Template Variables
-
-| Variable | Description | Example |
-|----------|-------------|---------|
-| `project_name` | Human-readable project name | "My CLI App" |
-| `project_slug` | Repository/directory name | "my-cli-app" |
-| `package_name` | Python package name | "my_cli_app" |
-| `description` | Short project description | "A modern CLI tool" |
-| `author_name` | Author's full name | "Your Name" |
-| `author_email` | Author's email | "your.email@example.com" |
-| `version` | Initial version | "0.1.0" |
-
-Python is fixed to 3.12+ by template policy.
