+# Castle Tools
+
+CLI utilities managed by the castle platform. Each tool follows Unix philosophy:
+read from stdin or file arguments, write to stdout, compose via pipes.
+
+## Installation
+
+Each category is its own package, installed individually:
+
+```bash
+castle sync    # installs all category packages
+```
+
+Or manually install a single category:
+
+```bash
+uv tool install --editable tools/document/
+```
+

+## Directory Structure
+
+```
+tools/
+├── <category>/
+│   ├── pyproject.toml          # Per-category package
+│   └── src/<category>/
+│       ├── __init__.py
+│       ├── <tool>.py           # Implementation
+│       └── <tool>.md           # Documentation (YAML frontmatter + docs)
+└── README.md
+```
+
+Each tool has two files:
+
+- **`<tool>.py`** -- the implementation, with a `main()` entry point
+- **`<tool>.md`** -- YAML frontmatter (command, description, version, category,
+  system_dependencies) followed by usage documentation
+
+## Adding a New Tool
+
+```bash
+castle create my-tool --type tool --category document
+```
+
+Or manually:
+
+1. Create `tools/<category>/src/<category>/my_tool.py` with an argparse `main()` function
+2. Create `tools/<category>/src/<category>/my_tool.md` with YAML frontmatter
+3. Add the entry point to `tools/<category>/pyproject.toml`:
+   ```toml
+   my-tool = "<category>.my_tool:main"
+   ```
+4. Register in `castle.yaml`:
+   ```yaml
+   my-tool:
+     description: What it does
+     tool:
+       tool_type: python_standalone
+       category: <category>
+       source: tools/<category>/
+     install:
+       path: { alias: my-tool }
+   ```
+5. Run `castle sync` to install
+
+## Tool Types
+
+Castle manages three types of tools:
+
+| Type | Description | Installation |
+|------|-------------|-------------|
+| `python_standalone` | Own pyproject.toml | Individual `uv tool install` per category |
+| `script` | Bash or binary | Symlinked to `~/.local/bin/` |
+
+## Conventions
+
+- Read from stdin or file argument, write to stdout
+- Error messages and status to stderr
+- Exit 0 on success, 1 on error
+- `--help` for usage, `--version` where applicable
+- Composable via Unix pipes: `pdf2md paper.pdf | gpt "summarize this"`
+
+## Managing Tools
+
+```bash
+castle tool list              # All tools grouped by category
+castle tool info <name>       # Tool details + documentation
+castle list --role tool       # Tools in the component listing
+castle info <name> --json     # Full manifest including tool metadata

+# List connected devices
+adb devices
+
+# Backup specific device
+android-backup --device ABC123DEF456
+```
+
+### Custom Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Create custom config
+cat > my_backup_config.json <<EOF
+{
+  "backup_root": "/mnt/nas/android_backups",
+  "device_name": "WorkPhone",
+  "backup_photos": true,
+  "backup_videos": false,
+  "backup_app_data": ["com.slack", "com.microsoft.teams"]
+}
+EOF
+
+# Use custom config
+android-backup -c my_backup_config.json
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Device Not Found
+
+```bash
+# Check if device is connected and authorized
+adb devices
+
+# If "unauthorized", check phone for authorization dialog
+# If no devices listed, check USB connection and debugging is enabled
+```
+
+### Permission Denied
+
+Some files may require root access. The tool will log warnings for files it cannot access but will continue with the backup.
+
+### Multiple Devices
+
+```bash
+# List all connected devices
+adb devices
+
+# Specify which device to backup
+android-backup --device SERIAL_NUMBER
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Requires USB debugging to be enabled on the Android device
+- Some app data may require root access
+- Large backups can take significant time
+- Ensure sufficient disk space for backups
+- First backup will be slower; subsequent backups are incremental

+
+```bash
+# For OpenAI
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
+
+# For Anthropic Claude
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
+
+# Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile to persist
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+# Execute a browser task
+browser "Go to google.com and search for python tutorials"
+
+# Use specific LLM provider
+browser --model gpt-4 "Fill out the contact form on example.com"
+browser --model claude-3-5-sonnet "Take a screenshot of the homepage"
+```
+

+
+Options:
+  instruction              Natural language instruction for browser task (required)
+  --model MODEL            LLM model to use (default: gpt-4o-mini)
+  --headless              Run browser in headless mode (no visible window)
+  --timeout SECONDS       Maximum time for task execution (default: 300)
+  -h, --help              Show help message
+```
+
+## Supported Models
+
+### OpenAI Models
+- `gpt-4o` - Most capable, best for complex tasks
+- `gpt-4o-mini` - Fast and affordable (default)
+- `gpt-4-turbo`
+- `gpt-4`
+- `gpt-3.5-turbo`
+
+### Anthropic Models
+- `claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022` - Most capable
+- `claude-3-opus-20240229`
+- `claude-3-sonnet-20240229`
+- `claude-3-haiku-20240307`
+
+## Examples
+
+### Web Search
+
+```bash
+browser "Search Google for 'best python libraries 2024' and summarize the top 3 results"
+```
+
+### Form Filling
+
+```bash
+browser "Go to example.com/contact and fill in the form with: Name: John Doe, Email: john@example.com, Message: Testing automation"
+```
+
+### Screenshots
+
+```bash
+browser "Navigate to github.com and take a screenshot"
+```
+
+### Data Extraction
+
+```bash
+browser "Go to news.ycombinator.com and list the top 5 post titles"
+```
+
+### Multi-step Tasks
+
+```bash
+browser "Go to amazon.com, search for 'wireless mouse', filter by 4+ stars, and show me the top 3 results with prices"
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- **Natural language control** - Use plain English to automate browser tasks
+- **AI-powered** - Uses LLMs to understand and execute complex instructions
+- **Multi-step workflows** - Handle complex sequences of actions
+- **Screenshot capture** - Can take screenshots as part of tasks
+- **Form filling** - Automatically fill out forms
+- **Data extraction** - Extract information from web pages
+- **Headless mode** - Run without visible browser window
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - API key for OpenAI models
+- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` - API key for Anthropic Claude models
+
+## Notes
+
+- Tasks are executed using browser automation via browser-use
+- Complex tasks may take longer to complete
+- Headless mode is faster but you won't see the browser actions
+- Some websites may block automation (check robots.txt)
+- API costs apply based on model usage
+- Default timeout is 5 minutes; adjust with `--timeout` for longer tasks
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### API Key Not Found
+
+```bash
+# Ensure API key is exported
+echo $OPENAI_API_KEY
+# or
+echo $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
+
+# Add to shell config if missing
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
+```
+
+### Browser Launch Fails
+
+Ensure Chromium or Chrome is installed on your system. The browser-use library will try to find it automatically.
+
+### Timeout Errors
+
+For complex tasks, increase the timeout:
+
+```bash
+browser --timeout 600 "complex long-running task"
+```

+docx2md: Convert Word .docx files to CommonMark
+
+Converts Word .docx files to CommonMark format (a standardized Markdown specification)
+and writes the result to a file with the same basename but .md extension. Also creates
+a directory for extracted media assets named <basename>_media/. The markdown content is
+also sent to stdout.
+
+This tool uses pandoc with the CommonMark output format and applies additional formatting
+to ensure consistent, high-quality markdown output:
+  - Standards-compliant, well-formed markdown
+  - Consistent rendering across different Markdown implementations
+  - Single spacing for list items (removes extra newlines between items)
+  - Proper blank lines around headings
+  - No line wrapping by default for easier editing
+
+Usage: docx2md file.docx
+       docx2md -o output.md file.docx
+       docx2md --wrap file.docx     # Wrap lines at 100 characters
+       docx2md --wrap 80 file.docx  # Wrap lines at 80 characters
+
+Options:
+  -o, --output FILE    Write markdown to FILE instead of <input_basename>.md
+  -m, --media-dir DIR  Store extracted media files in DIR instead of <basename>_media
+  --wrap [WIDTH]       Enable line wrapping at specified width (default: 100)

+command: gpt
+script: gpt/gpt.py
+description: A simple OpenAI text generation utility
+version: 1.0.0
+category: gpt
+---
+
+# gpt
+
+Interact with OpenAI's GPT models from the command line. Send prompts and receive AI-generated responses.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- OpenAI API key
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+cd /data/repos/toolkit
+make install
+which gpt
+```
+
+## Setup
+
+```bash
+# Set API key
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
+
+# Add to ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile to persist
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+# Send a prompt
+gpt "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"
+
+# Use specific model
+gpt --model gpt-4 "Write a Python function to sort a list"
+
+# Read prompt from file
+gpt < prompt.txt
+
+# Interactive mode
+echo "What is the capital of France?" | gpt
+```
+
+### Options
+
+```bash
+gpt [options] "prompt"
+
+Options:
+  prompt              Text prompt for GPT (required)
+  --model MODEL       GPT model to use (default: gpt-4o-mini)
+  --temperature TEMP  Creativity level 0.0-2.0 (default: 0.7)
+  --max-tokens NUM    Maximum response length (default: 1000)
+  --system PROMPT     System prompt to set behavior
+  -h, --help          Show help message
+```
+
+## Supported Models
+
+- `gpt-4o` - Most capable, best for complex tasks
+- `gpt-4o-mini` - Fast and affordable (default)
+- `gpt-4-turbo` - Large context window
+- `gpt-4` - High capability
+- `gpt-3.5-turbo` - Fast and economical
+
+## Examples
+
+### Simple Questions
+
+```bash
+gpt "What is the weather like today?"
+gpt "Explain recursion"
+```
+
+### Code Generation
+
+```bash
+gpt "Write a Python function to calculate fibonacci numbers"
+gpt --model gpt-4 "Create a React component for a todo list"
+```
+
+### Text Processing
+
+```bash
+# Summarize a file
+cat article.txt | gpt "Summarize this article in 3 bullet points"
+
+# Translate
+echo "Hello world" | gpt "Translate to French"
+
+# Code review
+cat script.py | gpt "Review this code and suggest improvements"
+```
+
+### With System Prompts
+
+```bash
+gpt --system "You are a Python expert" "How do I use asyncio?"
+gpt --system "Respond in haiku form" "Describe AI"
+```
+
+### Batch Processing
+
+```bash
+# Process multiple prompts
+for question in "What is AI?" "What is ML?" "What is DL?"; do
+    gpt "$question" >> answers.txt
+done
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- **Multiple models** - Choose from various GPT models
+- **Flexible input** - Prompt as argument or from stdin
+- **Customizable** - Adjust temperature, tokens, system prompts
+- **Pipe-friendly** - Works in Unix pipelines
+- **Fast** - Direct API access
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - Your OpenAI API key (required)
+
+## Tips
+
+- Use `gpt-4o-mini` for fast, cheap responses (default)
+- Use `gpt-4` or `gpt-4o` for complex reasoning
+- Lower temperature (0.1-0.3) for factual responses
+- Higher temperature (0.8-1.5) for creative writing
+- System prompts help control tone and expertise level
+
+## Cost Considerations
+
+- `gpt-4o-mini` is most economical for general use
+- `gpt-4` costs more but provides higher quality
+- Limit max-tokens to control costs
+- Monitor usage in OpenAI dashboard
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### API Key Not Found
+
+```bash
+echo $OPENAI_API_KEY  # Should show your key
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
+```
+
+### Rate Limits
+
+If you hit rate limits, wait a moment and retry, or upgrade your OpenAI plan.

+
+## Notes
+
+- Respects robots.txt where possible
+- Some sites may block scraping
+- JavaScript-heavy sites may not work well
+- Rate limit requests to avoid overwhelming servers
+- Consider caching results for repeated access
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Site Blocks Requests
+
+Try using a custom user agent:
+```bash
+mdscraper --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0..." https://site.com
+```
+
+### JavaScript Content Missing
+
+For JavaScript-heavy sites, consider using the `browser` tool instead:
+```bash
+browser "Go to URL and extract the article text"
+```
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+Add delays between requests:
+```bash
+for url in $(cat urls.txt); do
+    mdscraper "$url" > file.md
+    sleep 2
+done
+```

+# search
+
+Fast full-text search using Tantivy search index. Index and search documents with blazing speed.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+cd /data/repos/toolkit
+make install
+which search
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Index Documents
+
+```bash
+# Index a directory
+search index /path/to/documents
+
+# Index specific files
+search index file1.txt file2.pdf file3.docx
+```
+
+### Search
+
+```bash
+# Simple search
+search query "search terms"
+
+# Search with field
+search query --field title "document title"
+
+# Limit results
+search query --limit 10 "search terms"
+```
+
+### Options
+
+```bash
+search index [paths...]        Index files or directories
+search query [options] QUERY   Search indexed documents
+
+Query options:
+  QUERY                 Search query (required)
+  --field FIELD         Search specific field (title, body, path)
+  --limit N             Maximum results to return (default: 20)
+  -h, --help            Show help message
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- **Fast searching** - Powered by Tantivy search engine
+- **Multiple formats** - Supports PDF, DOCX, TXT, and more
+- **Full-text search** - Search entire document contents
+- **Field search** - Search specific fields
+- **Relevance ranking** - Results sorted by relevance
+
+## Examples
+
+### Index and Search
+
+```bash
+# Index your documents
+search index ~/Documents
+
+# Search for terms
+search query "important meeting notes"
+search query "project proposal 2024"
+```
+
+### Field-Specific Search
+
+```bash
+# Search in title only
+search query --field title "Annual Report"
+
+# Search in body
+search query --field body "quarterly results"
+```
+
+### Batch Operations
+
+```bash
+# Index multiple directories
+search index ~/Documents ~/Downloads ~/Desktop
+
+# Incremental indexing
+search index ~/Documents/new_files
+```
+
+## Supported File Types
+
+- **Text files** - .txt, .md, .log
+- **PDF documents** - .pdf
+- **Word documents** - .docx
+- **Other formats** - via text extractors
+
+## Index Location
+
+Index is stored in `~/.local/share/search/index` by default.
+
+## Tips
+
+- Index documents once, search many times
+- Re-index when documents change
+- Use quotes for exact phrases
+- Field searches are faster for specific needs
+
+## Notes
+
+- Initial indexing may take time for large collections
+- Index size depends on document collection size
+- Supports incremental indexing
+- UTF-8 text encoding recommended

+search: Manage self-contained searchable collections of files
+
+A modular, low-resource, local search system for files (PDFs, images, videos, etc.)
+where each collection is self-contained and can be indexed and queried using Tantivy.
+
+Usage:
+  search init [options] [directory]      Initialize a directory as a search collection
+  search scan [options] [directory]      Find all search collections in a directory tree
+  search index [options] [directory...]  Index all matched files in one or more collections
+  search query [options] QUERY           Search indexed collections using Tantivy
+
+Examples:
+  search init ~/documents                     # Initialize a collection
+  search init --name "Research" ~/papers      # Initialize with a specific name
+  search init --extract "*.pdf=pdf2md {input}"  # Add a specific extractor
+
+  search scan ~/documents                     # Find collections
+
+  search index ~/documents                    # Index a single collection
+  search index ~/documents ~/papers           # Index multiple collections
+  search index --verbose ~/documents          # Show detailed indexing progress
+
+  search query "neural networks"              # Search across all nearby collections
+  search query "DNA" --in ~/papers            # Search in a specific collection
+  search query "protein" --tag biology        # Search with tag filter
+  search query "machine learning" --limit 10  # Limit number of results

+
+# backup-collect
+
+Collect system information and configuration files for backup purposes.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+cd /data/repos/toolkit
+make install
+which backup-collect
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Collect system information
+backup-collect
+
+# Specify output directory
+backup-collect -o /path/to/backup
+
+# Collect specific categories
+backup-collect --category config
+backup-collect --category packages
+```
+
+### Options
+
+```bash
+backup-collect [options]
+
+Options:
+  -o, --output DIR    Output directory for collected data
+  --category CAT      Collect specific category (config, packages, system)
+  -v, --verbose       Enable verbose output
+  -h, --help          Show help message
+```
+
+## What It Collects
+
+### System Information
+- OS version and details
+- Kernel information
+- Hardware details
+- System uptime
+
+### Configuration Files
+- User dotfiles (.bashrc, .vimrc, etc.)
+- Application configs
+- SSH keys (with permissions preserved)
+- Custom scripts
+
+### Package Lists
+- Installed system packages
+- Python packages
+- npm packages
+- Other package managers
+
+## Features
+
+- **Comprehensive** - Collects essential system data
+- **Organized** - Structured output directory
+- **Safe** - Preserves permissions
+- **Selective** - Choose what to collect
+- **Portable** - Outputs in standard formats
+
+## Examples
+
+### Full Backup
+
+```bash
+backup-collect -o ~/backups/system-$(date +%Y%m%d)
+```
+
+### Scheduled Backup
+
+```bash
+# Weekly system backup
+schedule add system-backup \
+    --command "backup-collect -o /mnt/backups/system-\$(date +\%Y\%m\%d)" \
+    --schedule "weekly" \
+    --on-calendar "Sun 02:00:00"
+```
+
+### Selective Collection
+
+```bash
+# Only collect configs
+backup-collect --category config -o ~/configs
+
+# Only package lists
+backup-collect --category packages -o ~/packages
+```
+
+## Output Structure
+
+```
+backup-directory/
+├── system/
+│   ├── os-release
+│   ├── kernel-version
+│   └── hardware-info
+├── config/
+│   ├── dotfiles/
+│   ├── ssh/
+│   └── app-configs/
+└── packages/
+    ├── apt-packages.txt
+    ├── pip-packages.txt
+    └── npm-packages.txt
+```
+
+## Use Cases
+
+- **System migration** - Document current setup
+- **Disaster recovery** - Quick system restoration
+- **Configuration management** - Track system changes
+- **Compliance** - Document installed software
+- **Development** - Share development environment setup
+
+## Notes
+
+- Does not collect sensitive data by default
+- SSH keys are collected but not passwords
+- Large files are skipped
+- Runs without root (collects what's accessible)
+- Safe to run frequently

+# schedule
+
+A tool to easily create, manage, and monitor systemd user timers and services following best practices.
+
+## Overview
+
+`schedule` simplifies the management of systemd user timers by providing a simple command-line interface to create timer/service pairs that execute bash commands on a schedule. It handles all the boilerplate configuration and follows systemd best practices for security and resource management.
+
+## Installation
+
+Install the toolkit:
+
+```bash
+cd /data/repos/toolkit
+make install
+```
+
+The `schedule` command will be available in your PATH.
+
+### Enable Linger (Optional but Recommended)
+
+By default, systemd user units only run while you're logged in. To allow timers to run even when you're logged out, enable linger:
+
+```bash
+loginctl enable-linger $USER
+```
+
+This is essential for timers that should run 24/7, like automated sync jobs.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Easy timer creation** - Create timers with a single command
+- **Multiple schedule types** - Support for interval-based and calendar-based schedules
+- **Environment variables** - Support for environment files and inline variables
+- **Pre-conditions** - Run commands only when conditions are met
+- **Security hardening** - Automatic security settings (NoNewPrivileges, PrivateTmp)
+- **Log management** - Easy access to service logs via journalctl
+- **Status monitoring** - Check timer and service status
+
+## Usage
+
+### List timers
+
+Show all active user timers:
+
+```bash
+schedule list
+```
+
+Show all timers including inactive ones:
+
+```bash
+schedule list --all
+```
+
+### Add a timer
+
+Basic timer that runs every 5 minutes:
+
+```bash
+schedule add my-task \
+    --command "echo 'Hello, World!'" \
+    --schedule "5min"
+```
+
+Daily backup at 2 AM:
+
+```bash
+schedule add daily-backup \
+    --command "backup run" \
+    --schedule "daily" \
+    --on-calendar "*-*-* 02:00:00" \
+    --description "Daily backup job"
+```
+
+ProtonMail sync with environment file and condition:
+
+```bash
+schedule add protonmail-sync \
+    --command "protonmail sync" \
+    --schedule "5min" \
+    --description "Sync ProtonMail emails" \
+    --env-file ~/.config/protonmail/env \
+    --condition-command "pgrep -f protonmail-bridge"
+```
+
+With environment variables:
+
+```bash
+schedule add my-task \
+    --command "my-script.sh" \
+    --schedule "1hour" \
+    --environment "API_KEY=secret123" \
+    --environment "LOG_LEVEL=debug" \
+    --working-directory "/home/user/projects"
+```
+
+### Check status
+
+View timer and service status:
+
+```bash
+schedule status protonmail-sync
+```
+
+This shows:
+- Timer status (active/inactive)
+- Service status (last run, next run)
+- Next scheduled execution time
+
+### View logs
+
+Follow logs in real-time:
+
+```bash
+schedule logs protonmail-sync --follow
+```
+
+Show last 50 lines:
+
+```bash
+schedule logs protonmail-sync --lines 50
+```
+
+Show logs since today:
+
+```bash
+schedule logs protonmail-sync --since today
+```
+
+### Start/Stop timers
+
+Start a timer:
+
+```bash
+schedule start protonmail-sync
+```
+
+Stop a timer:
+
+```bash
+schedule stop protonmail-sync
+```
+
+### Enable/Disable timers
+
+Enable timer (start on boot):
+
+```bash
+schedule enable protonmail-sync
+```
+
+Disable timer (don't start on boot):
+
+```bash
+schedule disable protonmail-sync
+```
+
+### Remove a timer
+
+Remove timer and service files:
+
+```bash
+schedule remove protonmail-sync
+```
+
+Remove but keep logs:
+
+```bash
+schedule remove protonmail-sync --keep-logs
+```
+
+## Schedule Formats
+
+### Interval-based schedules
+
+Use simple time units:
+
+- `5min` - Every 5 minutes
+- `1hour` or `1h` - Every hour
+- `30min` - Every 30 minutes
+- `1day` or `1d` - Every day
+- `1week` or `1w` - Every week
+- `hourly` - Every hour (alias for 1hour)
+- `daily` - Every day (alias for 1day)
+
+### Calendar-based schedules
+
+Use systemd calendar syntax with `--on-calendar`:
+
+- `*-*-* 02:00:00` - Every day at 2 AM
+- `Mon *-*-* 09:00:00` - Every Monday at 9 AM
+- `*-*-01 00:00:00` - First day of each month at midnight
+- `*-*-* *:00:00` - Every hour on the hour
+
+## Advanced Options
+
+### Add command options
+
+- `--name` - Name of the timer/service (required)
+- `--command` - Bash command to execute (required)
+- `--schedule` - Schedule format (required)
+- `--description` - Human-readable description
+- `--env-file` - Path to environment file to source
+- `--environment` / `-e` - Set environment variable (KEY=VALUE)
+- `--condition-command` - Command that must succeed before running
+- `--working-directory` - Working directory for the command
+- `--on-boot-sec` - Delay after boot (default: 1min)
+- `--on-calendar` - Override with calendar-based schedule
+- `--persistent` - Run missed timers if system was offline
+- `--force` - Overwrite existing timer/service
+- `--no-enable` - Don't enable the timer
+- `--no-start` - Don't start the timer
+
+## Examples
+
+### ProtonMail Sync
+
+```bash
+schedule add protonmail-sync \
+    --command "protonmail sync" \
+    --schedule "5min" \
+    --description "Sync ProtonMail emails every 5 minutes" \
+    --env-file ~/.config/protonmail/env \
+    --condition-command "pgrep -f protonmail-bridge"
+```
+
+### Daily Backup
+
+```bash
+schedule add daily-backup \
+    --command "backup run --full" \
+    --schedule "daily" \
+    --on-calendar "*-*-* 02:00:00" \
+    --description "Daily backup at 2 AM" \
+    --environment "BACKUP_DIR=/mnt/backups"
+```
+
+### Hourly Data Sync
+
+```bash
+schedule add data-sync \
+    --command "rsync -av /source/ /dest/" \
+    --schedule "hourly" \
+    --description "Sync data every hour" \
+    --working-directory "/home/user/sync"
+```
+
+### Git Auto-Commit
+
+```bash
+schedule add git-autocommit \
+    --command "git add -A && git commit -m 'Auto-commit' && git push" \
+    --schedule "15min" \
+    --description "Auto-commit and push changes" \
+    --working-directory "/home/user/projects/myrepo"
+```
+
+## File Locations
+
+Timer and service files are stored in:
+
+```
+~/.config/systemd/user/
+├── <name>.service
+└── <name>.timer
+```
+
+## Security Features
+
+All services created by `schedule` include:
+
+- `NoNewPrivileges=yes` - Cannot gain new privileges
+- `PrivateTmp=yes` - Isolated /tmp directory
+- Proper PATH configuration
+- Journal logging for stdout/stderr
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Timer not running
+
+Check if the timer is enabled and active:
+
+```bash
+schedule status <name>
+```
+
+### Service failing
+
+View the logs to see what went wrong:
+
+```bash
+schedule logs <name> --lines 50
+```
+
+### Command not found
+
+Ensure the command is in the PATH or use an absolute path:
+
+```bash
+schedule add my-task \
+    --command "/usr/local/bin/my-script" \
+    --schedule "5min"
+```
+
+### Environment variables not working
+
+Use an environment file:
+
+```bash
+# Create env file
+echo "API_KEY=secret" > ~/.config/myapp/env
+chmod 600 ~/.config/myapp/env
+
+# Use it
+schedule add my-task \
+    --command "my-script" \
+    --schedule "5min" \
+    --env-file ~/.config/myapp/env
+```
+
+## Comparison with Manual Setup
+
+Instead of manually creating:
+
+1. `.service` file with proper configuration
+2. `.timer` file with scheduling
+3. Running `systemctl --user daemon-reload`
+4. Running `systemctl --user enable <name>.timer`
+5. Running `systemctl --user start <name>.timer`
+
+You can do it all with one command:
+
+```bash
+schedule add <name> --command "<cmd>" --schedule "<schedule>"
+```
+
+## See Also
+
+- `man systemd.timer` - systemd timer documentation
+- `man systemd.service` - systemd service documentation
+- `man systemd.time` - systemd time specification
+- `journalctl` - Query systemd journal
+
+## Important Notes
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+**Critical**: Systemd user units do NOT inherit environment variables from your shell (e.g., ~/.bashrc). Variables set with `export` in your shell will not be available to services.
+
+To make environment variables available to your scheduled commands, pass them inline when creating the timer:
+
+```bash
+schedule add my-task \
+    --command "my-script" \
+    --schedule "1hour" \
+    --environment "API_KEY=secret123" \
+    --environment "DATABASE_URL=postgres://localhost/mydb"
+```
+
+You can also use the `-e` shorthand:
+
+```bash
+schedule add my-task \
+    --command "my-script" \
+    --schedule "1hour" \
+    -e "API_KEY=secret123" \
+    -e "DATABASE_URL=postgres://localhost/mydb"
+```
+
+### User vs System Units
+
+This tool creates **user** systemd units (`systemctl --user`), not system units. User units:
+
+- Run as your user (no root required)
+- Stored in `~/.config/systemd/user/`
+- Only run while you're logged in (unless linger is enabled)
+- Have access to your user's files and permissions
+
+To enable timers to run 24/7 even when logged out:
+
+```bash
+loginctl enable-linger $USER
+```
