 # Hcl
 
-A PowerShell module for working with [HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL)](https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl), as used in [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/), [OpenTofu](https://opentofu.org/), and other infrastructure-as-code tools. Supports parsing `.tf` configuration files, `.tfvars` variable files, `locals {}` blocks, and converting PowerShell objects back to HCL format.
+Hcl is intended to be a PowerShell module for working with [HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL)](https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl).
 
-## Prerequisites
+## Status
 
-This uses the following external resources:
-- The [PSModule framework](https://github.com/PSModule/Process-PSModule) for building, testing and publishing the module.
-
-## Installation
-
-To install the module from the PowerShell Gallery, you can use the following command:
-
-```powershell
-Install-PSResource -Name Hcl
-Import-Module -Name Hcl
-```
-
-## Usage
-
-Here is a list of examples that are typical use cases for the module.
-
-### Example 1: Parse a Terraform locals block
-
-```powershell
-$hcl = @'
-locals {
-  environment = "production"
-  region      = "us-east-1"
-  tags = {
-    project = "myapp"
-    team    = "platform"
-  }
-}
-'@
-$result = ConvertFrom-Hcl -InputObject $hcl
-$result.locals.environment  # production
-$result.locals.tags.project # myapp
-```
-
-### Example 2: Parse a .tfvars file
-
-```powershell
-$tfvars = Get-Content -Path 'terraform.tfvars' -Raw
-$variables = ConvertFrom-Hcl -InputObject $tfvars
-$variables.region  # us-east-1
-```
-
-### Example 3: Convert a PowerShell object to HCL
-
-```powershell
-$config = [ordered]@{
-    resource = [ordered]@{
-        aws_instance = [ordered]@{
-            example = [ordered]@{
-                ami           = 'ami-0c55b159cbfafe1f0'
-                instance_type = 't2.micro'
-            }
-        }
-    }
-}
-ConvertTo-Hcl -InputObject $config
-```
-
-### Find more examples
-
-To find more examples of how to use the module, please refer to the [examples](examples) folder.
-
-Alternatively, you can use `Get-Command -Module 'Hcl'` to find commands available in the module.
-To find examples of each command, use `Get-Help -Examples 'CommandName'`.
+This repository is currently in progress. The current conversion commands are stubs and throw `[System.NotImplementedException]`, so there are no supported HCL conversion commands yet. Example files may exist for future behavior, but they are not supported usage examples yet.
 
 ## Documentation
 
-For detailed documentation on each function, use the built-in help system:
-
-```powershell
-Get-Help ConvertFrom-Hcl -Full
-Get-Help ConvertTo-Hcl -Full
-```
+When this module is implemented, command details should live in PowerShell help and generated documentation rather than being duplicated in this README.
