-## Usage
+> **Note on dependencies**: While the core business logic has no external dependencies, we use the Rich library
+> for enhanced CLI output formatting and better user experience. This design choice separates presentation concerns
+> from core functionality.
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+> **Note**: All commands must be run from the root directory of the project (book-manager-sys) using the `-m` flag.
+
+### Basic Usage
 
 ```bash
-python src/main.py
+# Show help and available commands
+python -m src.cli.app
+
+# Add a new book
+python -m src.cli.app add "The Art of Computer Programming" "Donald Knuth" 1968
+
+# List all books
+python -m src.cli.app list
+
+# Delete a book by ID
+python -m src.cli.app delete book_1633024800.123456
+
+# Search for books
+python -m src.cli.app search --title "Computer"     # Search by title
+python -m src.cli.app search --author "Knuth"       # Search by author
+python -m src.cli.app search --year 1968            # Search by year
+
+# Change book status
+python -m src.cli.app status book_1633024800.123456 borrowed    # Mark as borrowed
+python -m src.cli.app status book_1633024800.123456 available   # Mark as available
 ```
 
+### Detailed Command Reference
+
+1. **Adding Books**
+   ```bash
+   # Basic add command
+   python -m src.cli.app add "Clean Code" "Robert C. Martin" 2008
+
+   # Example with a legendary programming book
+   python -m src.cli.app add "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" "Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, John Vlissides" 1994
+   ```
+    - Titles and authors with spaces must be enclosed in quotes
+    - Year must be a valid number
+    - Books are automatically assigned a unique ID, e.g., book_1633024800.123456
+
+2. **Listing Books**
+   ```bash
+   # List all books
+   python -m src.cli.app list
+   ```
+    - Displays ID, title, author, year, and status
+    - Books are sorted by ID by default
+
+3. **Searching Books**
+   ```bash
+   # Search by title (partial match)
+   python -m src.cli.app search --field title "Patterns"
+
+   # Search by author (partial match)
+   python -m src.cli.app search --field author "Martin"
+
+   # Search by exact year
+   python -m src.cli.app search --field year 2008
+
+   ```
+    - Searches are case-insensitive
+    - Partial matches work for title and author
+    - Year must be an exact match
+
+4. **Managing Book Status**
+   ```bash
+   # Mark book as borrowed
+   python -m src.cli.app status book_1633024800.123456 borrowed
+
+   # Mark book as available
+   python -m src.cli.app status book_1633024800.123456 available
+   ```
+    - Valid statuses are: available and borrowed
+    - Requires a valid book ID
+
+5. **Deleting Books**
+   ```bash
+   # Delete by ID
+   python -m src.cli.app delete book_1633024800.123456
+   ```
+    - Deletion is permanent
+    - Requires a valid book ID
+    - Will fail if the ID doesn’t exist
+
