+;;; kibit-mode.el --- Enhance clojure-mode with Kibit analysis
+
+;; Copyright (C) 2012 Alex Redington <http://www.holychao.com>
+;; Authors: Alex Redington
+;; Created: 2012
+;; Version: 0.1
+;; Keywords: clojure kibit
+;; Package-Requires: ((clojure-mode "1.11.5")
+;;                    (mode-compile "2.29"))

+
+;;; Documentation:
+;;
+;; This minor mode acts as a compilation mechanism for interactively replacing
+;; clojure s-expressions by their more idiomatic representations. It provides
+;; the following capabilities:
+;;
+;;  * Run a check over the currently open file (bound to `\C-c \C-n`). This will
+;;    open a compilation mode buffer showing the kibit replacements.
+;;
+;;  * Implement a suggested replacement (bound to `r`). This will destroy the
+;;    extant formatting when the replacement is inserted
+
+;;; Dependencies:
+;; This minor mode depends on `mode-compile` and `clojure-mode`.
+
+;;; Change Log:
+;;
+;; 0.1 - First cut of kibit-mode
