+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Configuration is stored in `~/.lc/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "api_url": "http://127.0.0.1:8080",
+  "auth_token": "web:user@example.com",
+  "email": "user@example.com",
+  "show_mood": true,
+  "show_relationship": false
+}
+```
+
+## Sessions
+
+Sessions are stored in `~/.lc/sessions.json`:
+
+- Multiple named sessions supported
+- Sessions persist across CLI invocations
+- Auto-save on exit
+
+## Design Philosophy
+
+The CLI embodies the "empty table at closing time" philosophy:
+
+- **Quiet:** No spinners, no ASCII art, minimal output
+- **Intentional:** Explicit commands, named sessions
+- **Focused:** Text-first, no distractions
+
+## Architecture
+
+The CLI is a thin HTTP client that communicates with the Web API:
+
+```
+CLI (lc) → HTTP → Web API → ConversationGateway → Living AI Core
+```
+
+- Platform: `CLI`
+- Intimacy: `HIGH` (via Web API)
+- Transport: HTTP/REST
+
+## Development
+
+Run component tests:
+
+```bash
+python3 test_cli.py
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `typer>=0.9.0` - CLI framework
+- `httpx>=0.26.0` - HTTP client
+- `rich>=13.7.0` - Terminal formatting (optional)
