-## Example
-
-Extract all function declarations with their names and bodies:
-
-```
-(function_declaration
-  name: (identifier) @name
-  body: (statement_block) @body) @fn
-```
-
-Plotnik infers a typed output structure from your query:
-
-```
-{ fn: Node, name: Node, body: Node }
-```
-
-## Features
-
-- **Recursion** — match nested structures of arbitrary depth
-- **Type inference** — output types derived automatically from query structure
-- **Named expressions** — define reusable subqueries with `Name = expr`
-- **Partial matching** — queries match subtrees, no need to specify every child
-- **Sequences** — `{a b c}` for ordered matches with optional adjacency anchors
-- **Alternations** — `[a b]` with merge or tagged union output styles
-- **Quantifiers** — `?`, `*`, `+` map to optional and array types
-- **Field constraints** — `field: expr` and negated `!field`
-- **Supertypes** — `(expression/identifier)` for grammar hierarchies

-## Installation
-
-```sh
-cargo install plotnik-cli
-```
-

-```
-
-## Usage
-
-```sh
-# Parse and inspect a query
-plotnik debug --query-text '(function_declaration) @fn' --query-ast
-
-# Parse source file and show AST
-plotnik debug --source-file example.ts --source-ast
-
-# Run query against source
-plotnik debug --query-text '(identifier) @id' --source-file example.ts --result
-
-# List supported languages
