+## WinGet Manifest
+
+This folder contains the local WinGet manifest set for the current GitHub release.
+
+Layout mirrors the `winget-pkgs` repository so the files can be validated locally and
+submitted with minimal reshaping.
+
+### Validate
+
+```powershell
+winget validate .\packaging\winget\manifests\k\kts982\WinTUI\0.1.0
+```
+
+### Test with a local manifest
+
+Local manifest installs must be enabled in WinGet settings before testing:
+
+```powershell
+winget settings --enable LocalManifestFiles
+winget install --manifest .\packaging\winget\manifests\k\kts982\WinTUI\0.1.0
+```
+
+### Submit
+
+1. Copy the manifest directory into a fork of `microsoft/winget-pkgs`.
+2. Run `winget validate` against the copied package-version directory.
+3. Open a PR to `microsoft/winget-pkgs`.
