+# terranix and flake modules
+
+[flake-parts][flake-parts] is a framework for Nix flakes built on the module
+system. As flake.parts puts it:
+
+> flakes are configuration, and the module system lets you refactor that configuration
+> into reusable pieces — reducing the proliferation of custom Nix glue code.
+
+terranix ships a [flake-module][flake-module] that plugs into flake-parts. It
+gives you a declarative, options-based way to use terranix instead of calling
+`lib.terranixConfiguration` manually and wiring up your own flake outputs.
+
+[flake-parts]: https://flake.parts
+[flake-module]: https://github.com/terranix/terranix/blob/main/flake-module.nix
+
+## Before and after
+
+Without the flake-module, you call `lib.terranixConfiguration` yourself and
+manually assemble `packages`, `apps`, and `devShells`. The [Getting started
+with flakes](./getting-started-with-flakes.md) page shows what this looks like.
+
+With the flake-module, you declare `terranixConfigurations` and everything else
+is generated for you:
+
+```nix
+# flake.nix
+{
+  inputs = {
+    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs";
+    terranix.url = "github:terranix/terranix";
+    terranix.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
+    flake-parts.url = "github:hercules-ci/flake-parts";
+    flake-parts.inputs.nixpkgs-lib.follows = "nixpkgs";
+  };
+
+  outputs = inputs@{ flake-parts, ... }:
+    flake-parts.lib.mkFlake { inherit inputs; } {
+      imports = [ inputs.terranix.flakeModules.default ];
+      systems = [ "x86_64-linux" ];
+
+      perSystem = { pkgs, ... }: {
+        terranix.terranixConfigurations.myproject = {
+          modules = [ ./config.nix ];
+        };
+      };
+    };
+}
+```
+
+This single declaration auto-generates `packages`, `apps`, and `devShells` for
+each configuration.
+
+## What you get
+
+### packages
+
+Each `terranixConfigurations.<name>` becomes a package. The package is an
+`apply` script that runs `terraform init && terraform apply`.
+
+```shell
+nix run .#myproject
+```
+
+### Passthru scripts
+
+The apply derivation carries `init`, `plan`, `apply`, and `destroy` as passthru
+attributes. This means you can run each command directly:
+
+```shell
+nix run .#myproject          # apply
+nix run .#myproject.plan     # plan
+nix run .#myproject.destroy  # destroy
+nix run .#myproject.init     # init only
+```
+
+### devShells
+
+Run `nix develop .#myproject` to get an interactive shell with `apply`, `plan`,
+`destroy`, `init`, and the terraform/opentofu wrapper all on your `PATH`.
+
+```shell
+$ nix develop .#myproject
+$ plan
+$ apply
+$ destroy
+```
+
+Set `terranix.exportDevShells = false` if you don't want these.
+
+### Terraform/OpenTofu wrapper
+
+Each script automatically creates the working directory, symlinks the generated
+`config.tf.json`, and runs the appropriate terraform commands.
+
+See [Customizing the Terraform binary](terraform-wrapper.md) for how to use
+OpenTofu, bundle provider plugins, or inject secrets.
+
+## Configuration options
+
+Each entry under `terranix.terranixConfigurations` accepts:
+
+| Option                                | Description                                                                |
+| ------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `modules`                             | List of terranix modules to evaluate                                       |
+| `extraArgs`                           | Extra arguments passed to module evaluation (as `specialArgs`)             |
+| `workdir`                             | Working directory for terraform state (defaults to the configuration name) |
+| `terraformWrapper.package`            | Terraform or OpenTofu package (default: `pkgs.terraform`)                  |
+| `terraformWrapper.extraRuntimeInputs` | Additional packages available during terraform runs                        |
+| `terraformWrapper.prefixText`         | Shell commands to run before each terraform invocation                     |
+| `terraformWrapper.suffixText`         | Shell commands to run after each terraform invocation                      |
+
+## Multiple configurations
+
+You can define more than one configuration in the same flake. Each gets its own
+package, scripts, and devShell:
+
+```nix
+perSystem = { pkgs, ... }: {
+  terranix.terranixConfigurations.staging = {
+    modules = [ ./staging.nix ];
+  };
+  terranix.terranixConfigurations.production = {
+    modules = [ ./production.nix ];
+    terraformWrapper.package = pkgs.opentofu;
+  };
+};
+```
+
+```shell
+nix run .#staging          # apply staging
+nix run .#production.plan  # plan production
+nix develop .#staging      # interactive shell for staging
+```
