 # ReachableCEOShellFramework
 
-My shell scripting framework developed over the years
\ No newline at end of file
+## Introduction
+
+My shell scripting framework developed over 20 years of coding bash professionally.
+
+This is a collection of code/functions/templates/methodologies I've put together over 20 years of coding.
+
+* Error handling/tracing
+* Help
+* Robust CLI argument handling
