+
+## Modules
+
+### Recipe Module (`pkg/recipe/`)
+- Parses TOML recipe files
+- Validates recipe structure
+- Provides package naming utilities
+- Defines `Recipe`, `Source`, `Build`, and `PkgInfo` structs
+
+### Fetcher Module (`pkg/fetcher/`)
+- Downloads sources with checksum verification
+- Extracts various archive formats
+- Handles patch application
+- Implements caching for downloaded sources
+- Supports concurrent downloads
+
+### Builder Module (`pkg/builder/`)
+- Manages build process from recipe
+- Sets up build environment
+- Executes build commands
+- Handles source directory management
+- Provides build information and file listing
+
+### Packager Module (`pkg/packager/`)
+- Creates compressed package archives
+- Generates package metadata (.pkginfo)
+- Extracts packages for installation
+- Verifies package integrity
+- Lists package contents
+
+### Installer Module (`pkg/installer/`)
+- Installs packages to root filesystem
+- Manages package database
+- Handles dependency checking
+- Removes packages and cleans up
+- Provides package information queries
+
+## Usage
+
+### Building a Package
+
+```bash
+# Build from recipe
+pkg build recipes/zlib.toml
+
+# Build with custom work directory
+pkg build -w /tmp/build zlib.toml
+```
+
+### Installing a Package
+
+```bash
+# Install package
+pkg install /path/to/package.pkg.tar.zst
+
+# Install to custom root
+pkg install -r /mnt/root package.pkg.tar.zst
+```
+
+### Managing Packages
+
+```bash
+# List installed packages
+pkg list
+
+# Show package information
+pkg info zlib
+
+# Remove package
+pkg remove zlib
+```
+
+## Recipe Format
+
+Recipes are written in TOML format:
+
+```toml
+name = "package-name"
+version = "1.0.0"
+description = "Package description"
+
+[source]
+url = "https://example.com/package-1.0.0.tar.gz"
+sha256 = "sha256-hash-of-source"
+patches = ["patch1.diff", "patch2.diff"]
+
+[build]
+commands = [
+    "./configure --prefix=/usr",
+    "make -j$(nproc)",
+    "make DESTDIR={{pkgdir}} install"
+]
+env = [
+    "CFLAGS=-O2"
+]
+
+[dependencies]
+# List of package dependencies
+```
+
+## Package Format
+
+Packages are created as `name-version.pkg.tar.zst` archives containing:
+- Installed files
+- `.pkginfo` metadata file
+
+## Package Database
+
+Installed packages are tracked in `/var/lib/pkgdb/<pkgname>/` with:
+- `.pkginfo` file containing package metadata
+- File lists and installation information
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `github.com/BurntSushi/toml` - TOML parsing
+- `github.com/mholt/archiver/v4` - Archive handling
+- `github.com/spf13/cobra` - CLI framework
+- `github.com/spf13/viper` - Configuration management
+- `golang.org/x/sync` - Concurrent operations
+
+## Philosophy
+
+This package manager follows the simplicity philosophy of Arch Linux tools:
+- Minimal dependencies
+- Clear separation of concerns
+- Production-ready code
+- Source-based package management
+- Simple, understandable implementation
