+# Feature CLI
+
+A command-line interface for interacting with the Feature service. The Feature CLI allows you to manage feature flags as key/value pairs, providing a simple way to get, set, delete, and query feature flags from the command line.
+
+## Build
+
+To build the Feature CLI from source:
+
+```bash
+cd cli
+go build -o feature
+```
+
+This will create a `feature` binary in the current directory.
+
+## Usage
+
+The general usage pattern for the Feature CLI is:
+
+```bash
+feature [global flags] <command> [command arguments]
+```
+
+## Global Flags
+
+Global flags can be set via command-line options or environment variables:
+
+- `--log-format` (env: `LOG_FORMAT`)
+  - Log output format
+  - Values: `text` | `json`
+  - Default: `text`
+
+- `--log-level` (env: `LOG_LEVEL`)
+  - Log verbosity level
+  - Values: `debug` | `info` | `warn` | `error`
+  - Default: `info`
+
+- `--endpoint` (env: `ENDPOINT`)
+  - Feature service endpoint address
+  - Default: `localhost:8000`
+
+## Commands
+
+### version
+
+Prints the service name and version information.
+
+```bash
+feature version
+```
+
+### getall
+
+Streams and prints all features from the service. Each feature is printed on a separate line in the format `key: value`.
+
+```bash
+feature getall
+```
+
+### get
+
+Fetches a single feature by its key. When successful, prints the feature value. Returns an error if the feature key is not found.
+
+```bash
+feature get <key>
+```
+
+**Arguments:**
+- `key` - The feature key to retrieve
+
+### set
+
+Sets or updates a feature with the specified key and value.
+
+```bash
+feature set <key> <value>
+```
+
+**Arguments:**
+- `key` - The feature key to set
+- `value` - The value to assign to the feature
+
+### delete
+
+Deletes a feature by its key.
+
+```bash
+feature delete <key>
+```
+
+**Arguments:**
+- `key` - The feature key to delete
+
+### preset
+
+Pre-sets or initializes a feature with the specified key and value. Unlike `set`, `preset` will only create the feature if the key does not already exist. If the key already exists, the existing value is preserved and not overwritten. This is useful for setting default values during initialization.
+
+```bash
+feature preset <key> <value>
+```
+
+**Arguments:**
+- `key` - The feature key to preset
+- `value` - The value to assign to the feature
+
+## Examples
+
+### Using the default endpoint
+
+```bash
+# Print version information
+feature version
+
+# Get all features
+feature getall
+
+# Get a specific feature
+feature get my-feature-flag
+
+# Set a feature flag
+feature set my-feature-flag enabled
+
+# Delete a feature flag
+feature delete my-feature-flag
+
+# Pre-set a feature flag
+feature preset default-theme dark
+```
+
+### Using a custom endpoint
+
+```bash
+# Connect to a remote Feature service
+feature --endpoint feature-service.example.com:8000 getall
+
+# Set endpoint via environment variable
+export ENDPOINT=feature-service.example.com:8000
+feature getall
+feature get my-feature-flag
+```
+
+### Using JSON logging
+
+```bash
+# Enable JSON formatted logs with debug level
+feature --log-format json --log-level debug get my-feature-flag
+
+# Or use environment variables
+export LOG_FORMAT=json
+export LOG_LEVEL=debug
+feature get my-feature-flag
+```
+
+### Combined examples
+
+```bash
+# Set a feature on a remote service with debug logging
+feature --endpoint prod-features:8000 --log-level debug set new-ui-enabled true
+
+# Get all features from staging environment
+ENDPOINT=staging-features:8000 feature getall
+```
