 # Code Diagnose
-`analyze-project --directory /path/to/your/project`
\ No newline at end of file
+
+**Code Diagnose** is a CLI tool for detecting software antipatterns in your TypeScript projects. It helps identify code smells and improve code quality by analyzing your codebase for common design issues.
+
+### Installation
+To install Code Diagnose, run:
+
+`npm install -g code-diagnose`
+
+### Usage
+To analyze your TypeScript project, use the following command:
+
+`analyze-project --directory /path/to/your/project`
+
+Replace /path/to/your/project with the path to the directory of your TypeScript project.
+
+### Configuration
+
+**.diagnoseignore**
+
+You can exclude specific files or directories from being analyzed by creating a .diagnoseignore file in the root of your project. This file should list the files and directories to ignore, one per line. For example:
+
+```
+# Ignore all files in the node_modules directory
+node_modules/
+
+# Ignore specific files
+src/ignore-this-file.ts
+```
+
+### Beta Version
+
+Please note that Code Diagnose is currently in beta and still under development. Features and functionality may change as development progresses. Feedback and contributions are welcome!
