-# mono
+# Mono
 
-A release management tool to be used in all Zensical projects. This tool is
-heavily opinionated and optimized for the workflows we have at Zensical. It
-supports Rust, as well as NPM projects.
+**Mono repository automation toolkit**
 
-If you need flexibility, you might rather want to use off-the-shelf solutions
-like:
+`mono` is a release management tool built specifically for monorepos. It validates commits, determines versions, generates changelogs, and orchestrates publishing – all with zero configuration needed for standard workflows. Rust and Node workspaces are supported out of the box, with more languages coming soon.

+## Installation
+
+```bash
+cargo install mono
+```
+
+Or use our GitHub Action:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: zensical/mono@v0
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Version management
+
+```bash
+# Create a new version and update all packages
+mono version create
+
+# Generate the changelog of a version in Markdown format
+mono version changelog
+
+# List the names of changed packages in topological order
+mono version changed
+
+# List versions in reverse chronological order
+mono version list
+```
+
+### Package discovery
+
+```bash
+# List the names of all packages in topological order
+mono list
+```
+
+### Commit validation
+
+```bash
+# Validate a commit message summary
+mono validate commit "feature: add authentication"
+
+# Validate a commit message in a file
+mono validate commit --file .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG
+
+# Validate a commit by identifier
+mono validate commit --id 7b5e433
+```
+
+## Features
+
+### Monorepo-first design
+
+- **Automatic package discovery** from `Cargo.toml` workspaces or `package.json` workspaces
+- **Automatic scope detection** from directory structure based on packages
+- **Topological sorting** ensures dependencies are published before dependents
+
+### Conventional commits validation
+
+- Validates commit messages against Conventional Commits format
+- Suggests valid scopes based on actual packages in your monorepo
+- Works as a git hook or in CI
+- Clear, actionable error messages
+
+### Multi-language support
+
+- **Rust** (Cargo workspaces)
+- **Node.js** (npm/pnpm/yarn workspaces)
+- **More coming:** Python, ...
+
+### Interactive version bumping
+
+- Visual prompt showing suggested version increments
+- Computes suggestions from Conventional Commits types
+- Understands `0.0.z` (patch-only) and `0.y.z` (breaking changes = minor) ranges
+- Batch version bumping for related packages
+
+### Intelligent changelog generation
+
+- Generates changelogs from Conventional Commits
+- Groups changes by package and type (Features, Fixes, Breaking Changes)
+- Supports **changelog summaries** attached to commits for curated release notes
+- Links to issues and pull requests automatically
+
+### Change detection
+
+- Detects which packages changed since last release
+- Returns packages in topological order for publishing
+- Integrates with `cargo publish`, `npm publish`, or custom scripts
+
+## Comparison
+
+| Tool | Focus | Why mono  |
+|------|-------|------------|
+| **Lerna** | JavaScript monorepos, publishing | Language-agnostic, opinionated defaults, no Node.js required |
+| **changesets** | Developer-written changelogs | Fully automated from git history, no manual changeset files |
+| **cocogitto** | Git Conventional Commits | Monorepo-first with automatic scopes and multi-package releases |
+| **git-cliff** | Changelog generation | Interactive version selection, package-aware changelogs, topological publishing |
+| **cargo-release** | Single Rust crate releases | Multi-package workspaces with dependency ordering |
+| **semantic-release** | Automated releases | Simpler, faster, designed for monorepo batch operations |
