-## Core Scripts
+## Structure
 
-| Script | Purpose |
-|--------|---------|
-| **`deploy.sh`** | Deploy/setup/cleanup eoAPI |
-| **`test.sh`** | Run Helm and integration tests |
-| **`local-cluster.sh`** | Manage local clusters (minikube/k3s) |
-| **`ingest.sh`** | Ingest STAC data |
+```
+scripts/
+├── lib/
+│   ├── common.sh    # Shared utilities (logging, validation)
+│   └── k8s.sh       # Kubernetes helper functions
+├── cluster.sh       # Cluster management (start, stop, clean, status, inspect)
+├── deployment.sh    # Deployment operations (run, debug)
+├── test.sh          # Test suites (schema, lint, unit, integration)
+├── ingest.sh        # Data ingestion
+└── docs.sh          # Documentation (generate, serve)
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+All scripts are accessed through the main CLI:
+
+```bash
+./eoapi-cli <command> <subcommand> [options]
+
+# Examples
+./eoapi-cli cluster start
+./eoapi-cli deployment run
+./eoapi-cli test all
+./eoapi-cli ingest collections.json items.json
+./eoapi-cli docs serve
+```
+
+## CLI Reference
+
+The eoAPI CLI provides a unified interface for all operations:
+
+### Cluster Management
+```bash
+# Start local k3s cluster
+./eoapi-cli cluster start
+
+# Check cluster status
+./eoapi-cli cluster status
+
+# Stop cluster (preserves data)
+./eoapi-cli cluster stop
+
+# Clean up cluster and temporary files
+./eoapi-cli cluster clean
+
+# Detailed cluster diagnostics
+./eoapi-cli cluster inspect
+```
 
-## Quick Usage
+### Deployment Operations
+```bash
+# Deploy eoAPI
+./eoapi-cli deployment run
+
+# Debug deployment
+./eoapi-cli deployment debug
+```
 
+### Testing
 ```bash
-# Deploy to current cluster
-./scripts/deploy.sh
+# Run all tests
+./eoapi-cli test all
 
-# Local development
-make local                       # uses minikube by default
-make local CLUSTER_TYPE=k3s      # or use k3s
-make test-local                  # uses minikube by default
-make test-local CLUSTER_TYPE=k3s # or use k3s
+# Run specific test suites
+./eoapi-cli test schema      # Validate Helm chart schema
+./eoapi-cli test lint        # Run Helm lint
+./eoapi-cli test unit        # Run Helm unit tests
+./eoapi-cli test integration # Run integration tests
+```
 
-# Run tests
-./scripts/test.sh integration
+### Data Ingestion
+```bash
+# Ingest sample data
+./eoapi-cli ingest <collections-file> <items-file>
 ```
 
-## Prerequisites
+### Documentation
+```bash
+# Generate documentation
+./eoapi-cli docs generate
 
-- `kubectl`, `helm` (v3.15+), `python3`, `jq`
-- **Local testing**: `k3d` or `minikube`
+# Serve documentation locally
+./eoapi-cli docs serve
 
-## Environment Variables
+# Check documentation
+./eoapi-cli docs check
+```
 
-Most settings auto-detected. Override when needed:
+### Getting Help
+```bash
+# Show main help
+./eoapi-cli --help
 
+# Show command-specific help
+./eoapi-cli cluster --help
+./eoapi-cli deployment --help
+./eoapi-cli test --help
+```
+
+## Integration testing
+
+### With k3d (recommended)
+```bash
+# Complete workflow with k3d-managed cluster
+./eoapi-cli cluster start           # Creates k3d cluster
+./eoapi-cli deployment run          # Deploy eoAPI
+./eoapi-cli test integration        # Run integration tests
+./eoapi-cli cluster clean           # Cleanup
+```
+
+### With existing k3s/k8s cluster
 ```bash
-NAMESPACE=custom ./scripts/deploy.sh
-CLUSTER_TYPE=k3s make local      # override to use k3s
+# Ensure kubectl is configured for your cluster
+./eoapi-cli deployment run          # Deploy eoAPI
+./eoapi-cli test integration        # Run tests
 ```
 
-See individual script `--help` for details.
+Test options:
+- `test all` - Run all test suites
+- `test integration --pytest-args="-v"` - Pass pytest arguments
+
+## Environment variables
+
+- `NAMESPACE` - Kubernetes namespace (default: eoapi)
+- `RELEASE_NAME` - Helm release name (default: eoapi)
+- `DEBUG_MODE` - Enable debug output (set to true)
+- `CLUSTER_NAME` - K3s cluster name (default: eoapi-local)
+
+The scripts auto-detect CI environments through common environment variables (CI, GITHUB_ACTIONS, etc).

 # eoAPI Scripts - Shared Utilities
 
-This directory contains shared utility functions used across eoAPI deployment, testing, and ingestion scripts.
+Shared utility functions for eoAPI deployment, testing, and ingestion scripts.
 
 ## Usage
 
-Source the common utilities in your scripts:
-
 ```bash
-SCRIPT_DIR="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")"
-source "$SCRIPT_DIR/lib/common.sh"
+source "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/lib/common.sh"
 ```
 
-## Available Functions
+## Functions
+
+### Argument Parsing
+
+`parse_standard_options "$@"` - Parses standard options and sets:
+- `DEBUG_MODE` - Debug output enabled (-d/--debug)
+- `NAMESPACE` - Kubernetes namespace (-n/--namespace)
+- `REMAINING_ARGS` - Array of non-option arguments
 
 ### Logging
-- `log_info "message"` - Info messages (green)
-- `log_warn "message"` - Warning messages (yellow)
-- `log_error "message"` - Error messages (red)
-- `log_debug "message"` - Debug messages (blue)
+
+- `log_info` - Information messages (blue)
+- `log_success` - Success messages (green)
+- `log_warn` - Warning messages (yellow)
+- `log_error` - Error messages (red, stderr)
+- `log_debug` - Debug messages (shown when DEBUG_MODE=true or in CI)
 
 ### Validation
-- `command_exists "tool"` - Check if command is available
-- `validate_tools tool1 tool2 ...` - Validate required tools exist
-- `validate_cluster` - Check Kubernetes cluster connectivity
-- `validate_namespace "namespace"` - Check if namespace exists
-- `validate_eoapi_deployment "namespace" "release"` - Validate eoAPI deployment
+
+- `check_requirements tool1 tool2...` - Verify required tools are installed
+- `validate_cluster` - Check kubectl connectivity
+- `validate_namespace "namespace"` - Verify namespace exists
+- `validate_eoapi_deployment "namespace" "release"` - Validate deployment health
 
 ### Detection
-- `is_ci_environment` - Returns true if running in CI
-- `detect_release_name ["namespace"]` - Auto-detect eoAPI release name
-- `detect_namespace` - Auto-detect eoAPI namespace
 
-### Utilities
-- `wait_for_pods "namespace" "selector" ["timeout"]` - Wait for pods to be ready
+- `is_ci` - Returns true if running in CI environment
+- `detect_release_name ["namespace"]` - Auto-detect eoAPI release name
+- `detect_namespace` - Auto-detect eoAPI namespace from deployed resources
 
 ### Pre-flight Checks
+
 - `preflight_deploy` - Validate deployment prerequisites
-- `preflight_ingest "namespace" "collections_file" "items_file"` - Validate ingestion prerequisites
+- `preflight_ingest "namespace" "collections" "items"` - Validate ingestion inputs
 - `preflight_test "helm|integration"` - Validate test prerequisites
 
-## Error Handling
-
-All functions use proper error handling with `set -euo pipefail`. Scripts automatically exit on errors with descriptive messages.
-
-## Example
-
-```bash
-#!/bin/bash
-source "$(dirname "$0")/lib/common.sh"
+### Utilities
 
-# Validate prerequisites
-preflight_deploy || exit 1
+- `wait_for_pods "namespace" "selector" ["timeout"]` - Wait for pod readiness
+- `command_exists "cmd"` - Check if command is available
 
-# Use utilities
-NAMESPACE=$(detect_namespace)
-RELEASE=$(detect_release_name "$NAMESPACE")
+## Error Handling
 
-log_info "Deploying $RELEASE to $NAMESPACE"
-validate_eoapi_deployment "$NAMESPACE" "$RELEASE"
-```
+Scripts use `set -euo pipefail` and trap EXIT for cleanup. CI environments automatically enable debug mode.
