+Description:
+    Stubs out a new model. Pass the model name, either CamelCased or
+    under_scored, and an optional list of attribute pairs as arguments.
+
+    Attribute pairs are column_name:sql_type arguments specifying the
+    model's attributes. Timestamps are added by default, so you don't have to
+    specify them by hand as 'created_at:datetime updated_at:datetime'.
+
+    You don't have to think up every attribute up front, but it helps to
+    sketch out a few so you can start working with the model immediately.
+
+    This generates a model class in app/models, a unit test in test/unit,
+    a test fixture in test/fixtures/singular_name.yml, and a migration in
+    db/migrate.
+
+Examples:
+    `./script/generate hobofield_model account`
+
+        creates an Account model, test, fixture, and migration:
+            Model:      app/models/account.rb
+            Test:       test/unit/account_test.rb
+            Fixtures:   test/fixtures/accounts.yml
+
+    `./script/generate hobofield_model post title:string body:text published:boolean`
+
+        creates a Post model with a string title, text body, and published flag.
+        
+After the model is created, and the fields are specified, use hobofield
+to create the migrations incrementally.
