 # FlutterTools 🛠️
 
-**FlutterTools** is a small CLI app with a growing set of helpful utilities for working with large-scale Flutter projects.
-
-> ⚠️ This is a work-in-progress project. New features are added as they're needed in my primary development workflow.
+**FlutterTools** is a .NET-based CLI utility designed to streamline the management of large-scale, multi-package Flutter projects. It automates repetitive tasks such as running `pub get` across multiple modules and helps maintain architectural integrity by identifying missing dependencies in `pubspec.yaml` based on Dart imports.
 
 ---
 
 ## 🚀 Features
 
-- **Multi-package `pub get`**  
-  Easily run `pub get` across multiple packages or modules — no more switching folders manually.
+- **Multi-package `pub get`**
+  Automatically runs `flutter pub get` across all packages located in `modules/` and `packages/` directories.
+- **Cross-module Dependency Analysis**
+  Analyzes Dart files in your modules to ensure that all internal package imports are correctly declared in their respective `pubspec.yaml` files.
+- **Dependency Visualization**
+  Generates and opens an interactive HTML dependency graph using `pubviz`.
+- **Flutter Environment Check**
+  Quickly run `flutter doctor` directly from the tool.
+- **Project Information**
+  Displays current project path and Flutter SDK information.
+- **Dependency Listing**
+  Runs `flutter pub deps` for the main application to show a full dependency tree.
+
+---
 
-- **Cross-module import checker** *(fixing coming soon)*  
-  Identify problematic imports between packages that can cause issues when:
-  - Building in Linux containers
-  - Using IntelliSense in Android Studio
+## 📂 Expected Project Structure
 
-- **Flutter environment check**  
-  Run `flutter doctor` and get a quick overview of your Flutter/Dart setup.
+FlutterTools is optimized for projects following this structure:
 
-- **HTML import visualization**  
-  Generate an interactive HTML file to visualize your project's import structure.
+```
+my_flutter_project/
+├── application/      # The main Flutter application
+├── modules/          # Directory containing internal modules/packages
+│   ├── module_a/
+│   └── module_b/
+└── packages/         # Directory containing additional internal packages
+    ├── package_x/
+    └── package_y/
+```

-## 📝 TODO
+## 🛠️ Prerequisites
 
-- [ ] Add lowercase normalization for import paths  
-- [ ] Add command-line import visualization (graph view)
+- [.NET SDK 8.0+](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download)
+- [Flutter SDK](https://docs.flutter.dev/get-started/install)

-## 💡 Why?
+## 📦 Installation & Usage
 
-Managing a growing Flutter codebase across multiple packages can get messy. This tool aims to automate the boring parts, spot hidden issues, and make dev life just a bit smoother.
+### From Source
 
----
+1. Clone the repository:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/[your-username]/fluttertools.git
+   cd fluttertools
+   ```
 
-## 📦 Installation
+2. Run the application using the .NET CLI:
+   ```bash
+   dotnet run --project FlutterTools/FlutterTools.csproj
+   ```
 
+### Building the Executable
 
+To build a standalone executable:
 ```bash
-git clone https://github.com/yourusername/fluttertools.git
-cd fluttertools
-dart run
+dotnet build --configuration Release
+```
+The executable will be located in `FlutterTools/bin/Release/net8.0/`.
+
+---
+
+## 📝 TODO
+
+- [ ] Add lowercase normalization for import paths.
+- [ ] Add command-line import visualization (graph view).
+- [ ] Support custom folder structures.
+- [ ] Improve error handling for missing Flutter SDK.
+
+---
+
+## 💡 Why?
+
+Managing a growing Flutter codebase across dozens of packages can be challenging. FlutterTools aims to automate the "boring parts," detect hidden dependency issues early, and provide better visibility into your project's structure.
