 # Muse

 ## Overview
 
-**Muse** is a CLI and toolchain for operating on directories of
-json, yaml, toml, and markdown files. Each file can specify any shape
-of data. Muse scans included files, parses them into data, and streams
-the loaded data through processors and plugins.

 When loading markdown files, Muse will load the content of the file
 into a key called `content` by default. This can be changed in the binding
 configuration by setting a `contentKey` value as an override.
+
+## Plugin API
+
+Muse plugins are written in TypeScript/JavaScript and expose information
+describing the plugin, as well as the functions to operate with:
+
+```typescript
+export const name = "Plugin Name";
+export const description = "Plugin Description";
+export async function step(binding: Binding): Promise<Binding> {}
+```
+
+The main function of a plugin is `step`, which takes a `Binding` object
+and returns a modified `Binding` object.
+
+When returning a new Binding object, it is best practice to make immutable
+changes:
+
+```typescript
+export async function step(binding: Binding): Promise<Binding> {
+  const newBinding = { ...binding };
+  newBinding.options.someOption = "newValue";
+  return {
+    ...binding,
+    meta: {
+      ...binding.meta,
+      customValue: true,
+    }
+  };
+}
+```
