.SH DESCRIPTION
.P
-TODO
+This is a simple, enthusiast-grade CLI client for the work-in-progress AT
+Protocol (atproto.\&com).\& It is an entirely "delegated" client, which means that
+it does not store or cache any user content locally; everything works by making
+HTTP/XRPC requests to a Personal Data Server (PDS), which is usually a remote
+service.\&
+.P
+The only real utility of this tool currently is messing around with prototype
+implementations, possibly while developing them.\&
+.P
+This client does not currently do any schema validation of Lexicons, either at
+compile time or runtime (eg, dynamically fetching Lexicons).\& The Bluesky
+Lexicon (bsky.\&app) is partially supported with helper commands.\&
+.P
+.SH FIELD SYNTAX
+.P
+Several commands accept generic key/value fields which are passed through as
+either query parameters or combined together in to a request body JSON object.\&
+Escaping and other corner-cases aren't handled.\&
+.P
+\fB==\fR
+.RS 4
+Query parameter.\& Key and Value both passed as strings.\&
+.P
+.RE
+\fB=\fR
+.RS 4
+Body fields, combined together as a JSON object.\& Keys are strings, values are parsed as JSON with fall-through to string type.\&
+.P
+.RE
+For example, the argument list \fBlimit==25 title="regarding documentation" year=2022 tags='["blue", "green"]'\fR
+would be interpreted as a single query parameter "limit" with value "25", and a
+JSON object with keys "title" (string value), "year" (number value), "tags"
+(array of strings).\&
