 # dirmd
 
-Generate markdown documentation from directory structure.
+Generate markdown documentation from directory structure. Optimized for LLM ingestion.
+
+<video src="./docs/videos/dirmd.webm" autoplay loop muted playsinline></video>
 
 ## Features
 
 - Recursive directory traversal
-- Tree visualization (standard tree command format)
-- Full file contents with syntax-highlighted code blocks
+- ASCII tree visualization (LLM-friendly, minimal token overhead)
+- Full file contents with explicit delimiters and metadata
 - Filters dotfiles, binaries, and blacklisted extensions
+- Vertical slices mode: root file + one markdown per top-level directory
 - Append mode for single files or directories
+- Force overwrite of existing output files
 - Configurable depth, file size limits, ignore patterns
+- Optional upload to Proton Drive after generating output
+- Skip frontend files (`.html`, `.css`, `.js`, etc.)
+- Frontend only mode (include only frontend files and `README.md`)
+- Omit test files and inline test blocks (Go, Java, Rust)
+
+## Installation
+Only for linux.  
+Download binary from release page or install with go 
+```bash
+go install git.flo.fo/FLO/dirmd@latest
+```
+
+## Use with Git Post Hook
+combine with git post hook to sync with proton drive on each commit
+
+add something like this in ./.git/hooks/post-commit
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+
+set -euo pipefail
+
+if ! command -v dirmd &>/dev/null; then
+    exit 0
+fi
+
+REPO_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
+REPO_NAME=$(basename "$REPO_ROOT")
+
+dirmd -o "/tmp/${REPO_NAME}" "$REPO_ROOT" -f --vertical-slices --proton-drive

+
+## Test File Omission
+
+The `--omit-test` flag removes test files and inline test blocks to reduce token overhead in LLM context windows. Behavior varies by language:
+
+| Language | Exclusion Strategy | What Gets Removed |
+|----------|-------------------|-------------------|
+| **Go** | File exclusion | All `*_test.go` files |
+| **Java** | File exclusion | `*Test.java`, `*Tests.java`, files under `src/test/java/` |
+| **Rust** | Content stripping | Entire `#[cfg(test)] mod tests { ... }` blocks removed from `.rs` files |
+
+The Rust stripping works by detecting the `#[cfg(test)]` attribute, then tracking brace depth until the module closes. Nested braces in string literals may occasionally throw off the count, but this is acceptable for RAG use cases.
+
+## Frontend Filtering
+
+Two complementary flags control frontend file inclusion:
+
+| Flag | Effect |
+|------|--------|
+| `--skip-frontend` | Exclude frontend files, keep everything else |
+| `--frontend-only` | Include only frontend files and `README.md`, exclude everything else |
+
+Frontend extensions covered:
+
+| Type | Extensions |
+|------|------------|
+| Templates | `.html`, `.htm`, `.gohtml`, `.tmpl` |
+| Stylesheets | `.css`, `.scss`, `.sass`, `.less` |
+| JavaScript | `.js`, `.jsx`, `.mjs`, `.cjs` |
+| TypeScript | `.ts`, `.tsx` |
+| Frameworks | `.vue`, `.svelte` |
+
+`--skip-frontend` and `--frontend-only` are mutually exclusive. Both can be combined with `--omit-test`.
+
+## Vertical Slices Mode
+
+When `--vertical-slices` is passed, dirmd splits output into multiple files instead of one monolithic document:
+
+- **Root file** (`-o output.md`): Full directory tree with cross-references to slice files, a vertical slices index table (file counts, total bytes per directory), and full contents of all root-level files.
+- **Slice files** (`cmd.md`, `internal.md`, etc.): One per top-level directory, placed alongside the root file. Each contains its own tree, a back-reference to the root document, and full recursive file contents for that directory.
+
+This mode cannot be combined with `--append` or `--input-file`.
+
+Example output with `dirmd -o docs.md ~/repos/myproject --vertical-slices`:
+
+    docs/
+    ├── docs.md          ← root: tree + slices index + root file contents
+    ├── cmd.md           ← slice: tree + contents of cmd/
+    └── internal.md      ← slice: tree + contents of internal/
+
+## Instructions File (`.dirmd`)
+
+If a file named `.dirmd` exists in the root of the input directory, you can include its contents as metadata in the generated output by passing the `--instructions` flag.
+
+This is useful for injecting specific context, constraints, or instructions for LLMs processing the snapshot.
+
+- **File Name**: `.dirmd`
+- **Location**: Root of the input directory.
+- **Format**: Plain text or Markdown.
+- **Output**: Rendered as a quoted block (`> Instructions: ...`) immediately after the timestamp and commit info.
+- **Opt-in**: The file is **ignored** unless `--instructions` is explicitly passed.
+
+Example `.dirmd`:
+
+```text
+Focus on the `internal/` package for business logic.
+Ignore `cmd/` unless explicitly asked.
+Prioritize Go files over Python.
+```
+
+## LLM-Optimized Output
+
+Output is designed for RAG ingestion and LLM context windows, not human presentation:
+
+- **ISO 8601 Timestamp**: Added as a metadata line (`> Generated: ...`) immediately after the H1 header for every new file created.
+- **Git Commit Info**: If the source directory is a Git repository, a second metadata line (`> Commit: <sha> (<message>)`) is added below the timestamp.
+- **ASCII tree format** (`+-` instead of Unicode box-drawing) to reduce token overhead
+- **Explicit file delimiters**: `--- FILE: ./path (bytes, lines) ---` and `--- END FILE ---`
+- **Document type markers**: `[ROOT]` and `[SLICE]` in H1 headers
+- **Cross-references**: Directory entries in root tree show `-> see cmd.md`; slice files reference their root document
+- **Slices index table**: File counts and total bytes per slice for informed retrieval decisions
+- **Tilde fences** (`~~~`) to avoid conflicts with backticks in source files
+
 ## Flags
 
 | Flag | Description | Default |
 |------|-------------|---------|
 | `-o`, `--output` | Output markdown file path (required) | |
 | `-a`, `--append` | Append to existing output file | false |
+| `-f`, `--force` | Overwrite existing output file (non-append mode) | false |
 | `-i`, `--input-file` | Single file input (append mode only) | |
+| `--vertical-slices` | Split output into root file + one markdown per top-level directory | false |
 | `--max-size` | Max file size in bytes | 524288 |
 | `--max-depth` | Max directory recursion depth | 20 |
 | `--ignore` | Additional ignore patterns (glob) | |
 | `--extensions` | Additional file extensions to skip | |
+| `--proton-drive` | Upload output to Proton Drive after writing locally | false |
+| `--drive-path` | Full remote path on Proton Drive (e.g. /my-files/md/report.md) | /my-files/md/<filename> |
+| `--skip-frontend` | Omit frontend file types (.html, .css, .js, .ts, .vue, .svelte, etc.) | false |
+| `--frontend-only` | Include only frontend file types and README.md | false |
+| `--omit-test` | Exclude test files (Go *_test.go, Java *Test.java) and strip #[cfg(test)] blocks from Rust | false |
+
+## Proton Drive Integration
+
+dirmd can optionally upload the generated markdown file(s) to Proton Drive using the [Proton Drive CLI](https://proton.me/support/drive-cli). The upload is performed only when `--proton-drive` is passed. Without it, dirmd behaves exactly as before — no Proton Drive dependency is required.
+
+In vertical slices mode, all generated files (root + slices) are uploaded to `/my-files/md/`. The `--drive-path` flag is ignored in slices mode ; each file is uploaded by its basename.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+1. Install the Proton Drive CLI — see the [official guide](https://proton.me/support/drive-cli) for download and installation instructions.
+2. Authenticate by running `proton-drive auth login`.
+3. Ensure `proton-drive` is in your PATH.
+
+If the CLI is not installed or you are not logged in, dirmd will report the error to stderr and exit with a non-zero code. Local files are always written successfully before the upload is attempted.
+
+For full documentation on the Proton Drive CLI, including installation, authentication, and troubleshooting, refer to the [official Proton Drive CLI support page](https://proton.me/support/drive-cli).
