+# 📟sm-bluesky CLI Reference
+
+The `sm-bluesky` command-line interface provides tools to launch instrument servers and interact with running instances via quick payloads (commands).
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Commands Overview
+
+The interface is split into two primary modes:
+* **`start`**: Configures and spins up background hardware device server.
+* **`send`**: A lightweight diagnostic utility to send arbitrary string payloads to an active server.
+
+For extra information use:
+* **`-h`, `--help`**: Displays general or command-specific help menus.
+* **`-v`, `--version`**: Displays the currently installed package version of `sm-bluesky`.
+---
+
+## 🛠️ Detailed Usage
+
+### 1. Starting an Instrument Server
+Launches a dedicated hardware communication server. By default, it listens on all available interfaces (`0.0.0.0`) to ensure remote beamline workstations can reach the server.
+
+```bash
+sm-bluesky start sh_pulse_generator [FLAGS]
+```
+| Flag   | Type | Default | Description| 
+| -----  | -----| ------  | -----------| 
+| --host | str  | 0.0.0.0 | Binding host network address.| 
+| --port | int | 7891 | TCP port boundary for socket listening. | 
+| --ipv6 | bool | None | Flags the socket to use IPv6 dual-stack addressing. | 
+
+### sh_pulse_generator Specific FlAG
+
+| Flag   | Type | Default | Description| 
+| -----  | -----| ------  | -----------| 
+| --usb-port | str | COM4 | Target serial/USB backend port identifier. | 
+| --baud-rate | int | 9600 | Serial connection baud rate. | 
+| --timeout | float | 1.0 | Read/write timeout duration in seconds. | 
+| --max-pulse-delay | int | 1024 | Boundary constraints for safe pulse adjustments. | 
+```bash
+sm-bluesky start sh_pulse_generator --usb-port COM9 --port 8080
+```
+
+### 2. Sending Payloads (Commands)
+
+Sends a single string payload directly to an active server. It defaults to the local loopback address (127.0.0.1) to ensure accidental commands don't interact with external instruments.
+```bash
+sm-bluesky send "PAYLOAD" [FLAGS]
+```
+
+| Flag | Type | Default | Description | 
+| -----| -----| ------  | -----------| 
+| --host | str | 127.0.0.1 | Target server network address.| 
+| --port | int | 7891 | Target server TCP communications port.| 
+| --timeout | float | 2.0 | Connection timeout duration in seconds.| 
+
+```bash
+# Verify status locally
+sm-bluesky send "command_list"
+
+# Adjust settings on a remote beamline server
+sm-bluesky send "SET_DELAY 512" --host 192.168.1.50 --port 7891```
