 ## Introduction
+
 Commander is a library for writing custom commands in Lua.
+In order to make it easier to write commands for Hilbish,
+not require separate scripts and to be able to use in a config,
+the Commander library exists. This is like a very simple wrapper
+that works with Hilbish for writing commands. Example:
+
+```lua
+local commander = require 'commander'
+
+commander.register('hello', function(args, sinks)
+	sinks.out:writeln 'Hello world!'
+end)
+```
+
+In this example, a command with the name of `hello` is created
+that will print `Hello world!` to output. One question you may
+have is: What is the `sinks` parameter?
+
+A sink is a writable/readable pipe, or you can imagine a Lua
+file. It's used in this case to write to the proper output,
+incase a user either pipes to another command or redirects somewhere else.
+
+So, the `sinks` parameter is a table containing 3 sinks:
+`in`, `out`, and `err`.
+- `in` is the standard input. You can read from this sink
+to get user input. (**This is currently unimplemented.**)
+- `out` is standard output. This is usually where text meant for
+output should go.
+- `err` is standard error. This sink is for writing errors, as the
+name would suggest.
+
+A sink has 2 methods:
+- `write(str)` will write to the sink.
+- `writeln(str)` will write to the sink with a newline at the end.
