 Clew extracts Ren'Py game files for Ariadne.
 
-## Usage
-
-Run Clew from the repository root:
+Use `--help` for command documentation:
 
 ```sh
-bazel run //src/clew -- \
-  --game-root /path/to/game \
-  --force
+bazel run //src/clew -- --help
 ```
-
-By default, Clew writes to `output/` at the repository root.
-Use `--output-root` to choose another directory.
-
-```sh
-bazel run //src/clew -- \
-  --game-root /path/to/game \
-  --output-root /tmp/clew-output \
-  --force
-```
-
-Use `--suffix` to extract only selected archive paths.
-Repeat the flag for multiple suffixes.
-
-```sh
-bazel run //src/clew -- \
-  --game-root /path/to/game \
-  --suffix rpy \
-  --suffix rpyc \
-  --force
-```
-
-## Output
-
-Clew owns these directories under the output root:
-
-```text
-output/
-  source/   # copied loose and archived `.rpy` source files
-  work/     # extracted archives and copied compiled scripts
-  logs/     # run logs
-```
-
-Without `--force`, Clew refuses to run when one of those directories exists.
-With `--force`, Clew deletes and recreates only those directories.
-
-## Current behavior
-
-Clew copies loose `.rpy` files into `source/`.
-It copies loose `.rpyc` and `.rpymc` files into `work/compiled/`.
-It extracts each `.rpa` archive into `work/archives/`.
-It copies extracted `.rpy` files into `source/`.
-It skips files under Ren'Py runtime directories.
