 # Klaw documentation
 
-Here is all the information you need to set up and work with this documentation repository.
+- Please be aware of our [Code of Conduct](/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) ❤️
+
+## About
+
+This is the Klaw documentation repository. Welcome 👋 🎉
+You can find source code and all content for our ([klaw-project.io](https://www.klaw-project.io/) site here.
+
+## Installation and usage
+
+### Requirements
+
+- [node](https://nodejs.org/en/) needs to be installed.
+  -> please check [nvmrc](.nvmrc) or the `engines` definition in [package.json](package.json) for version.
+
+This is the setup you every time. You can find the different ways how to run the local development process below.
+
+### Local development
+
+Install all needed dependencies and setup githooks:
+
+```shell
+npm install
+```
+
+To start local the local development server, run:
+
+```shell
+npm start
+```
+
+## Scripts used and what they execute
+
+ℹ️ You can see all our scripts in the [`package.json`](package.json).
+You can also run `npm run` in your console to get a list of all available scripts.
+
+Here are the important ones you're likely to use:
+
+- `npm start`: starts the app for development
+- `npm run build`: will build the documentation site and generate all static files in "build". After `build` you can
+  run `npm run serve` to test your build locally
+- `lint`: runs a format check and if no error is found, lints code and markdown files in the project.
+  - the linting script does not mutate your code. See [Linting and code formatting](#linting-and-code-formatting) for
+    more info.
+- `reformat`: runs the code formatter (prettier) as well as the markdown linter in fix mode. This will mutate you code.
+
+ℹ️ We are using a custom hook path for enabling pre-commit hooks. This path is set in the local git config when
+running `npm install`.
+
+## Linting and code formatting
+
+How we keep our app's codebase looking consistent and nice 💅🏼
+
+- [Prettier](https://prettier.io/) for code formatting
+- [ESlint](https://eslint.org/) and various plugins for linting
+- [markdownlint](https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint) in combination
+  with [markdownlint-cli](https://github.com/igorshubovych/markdownlint-cli) to check and format markdown files
+  specially.
+
+### Fine-grained scripts for linting and formatting
+
+We provide `npm run lint` as well as `npm run reformat` to check or mutate your changes. We also offer more specific
+scripts you can use:
+
+Scripts with `lint` do not mutate your code in any way:
+
+- `npm run lint:code` - runs a prettier and eslint check. This includes basic checks for markdown, but not
+  in depth.
+- `npm run lint:markdown` - runs markdown-lint with more detailed check on markdown files.
+
+To apply findings from `lint` and mutate your files:
+
+- `npm run reformat:code` - runs prettier and eslint in fix mode.
+- `npm run reformat:markdown` - runs markdownlint in fix mode.
+
+ℹ️ It's convenient to let prettier and eslint auto-format your code "on save" by your IDE or editor. For markdownlint
+you can find [plugins for some IDE/editors](https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint#related), too.
