 ## What
 
-This plugin provides bindings for `forge` commands as hardhat tasks.
+This plugin enables projects to use both foundry and hardhat. It provides
+bindings for `forge` commands as hardhat tasks. It generates hardhat style
+artifacts that can be used with hardhat tooling such as
+[hardhat-deploy](https://github.com/wighawag/hardhat-deploy) or hardhat tasks.
+
+It is useful for projects that already have hardhat tooling and want to take
+advantage of features only found in foundry such as writing tests in solidity
+or fuzzing. It also allows for projects to write tests in solidity and do
+chainops in TypeScript or JavaScript.
 
 ## Installation

 This plugin provides the following tasks:
 
-- "forge::build" for "`forge build`
-- "forge::test" for "`forge test`
+- `forge:config` returns the forge config
+- `compile` overwrites the standard hardhat compile and uses the foundry
+  toolchain instead
+
+## Usage
+
+The following hardhat task could be used to interact with a contract named
+`Contract` that is compiled with the foundry compiler toolchain.
+
+```js
+import { task } from "hardhat/config"
+import assert from "assert"
+
+task("example").setAction(async (args, hre) => {
+  const contract = await this.hre.artifacts.readArtifact("Contract");
+  console.log(contract.abi)
+
+  const info = await this.hre.artifacts.getBuildInfo("Contract");
+  assert(typeof info === "object")
+})
+```
 
 ## Configuration
 
 See [Foundry](https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry).
 
+The `HardhatUserConfig` is extended with a `foundry` object that can be used
+to configure the plugin as well as `forge`. Configuration that is passed in via
+the `HardhatUserConfig` will overwrite values that are configured in the
+`foundry.toml`.
+
+Note that `forge` must be configured to generate hardhat style build info files
+for this plugin to function correctly.
+
+```js
+const config: HardhatUserConfig = {
+  foundry: {
+    buildInfo: true,
+  },
+}
+```
