+# Refactoring Again
+
+Originally, when this theme was created, it made sense to create two separate packages to provide the theme, one for the CSS files themselves and the other for a CLI to generate the source files.
+
+These we needed to generate GPL palettes for [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org/) and that specific abstraction started to crumble. The result is that we merged the two Priduck repositories together and made it a single theme, with the intent that one would generate the files they want instead of a tiny package that just provided a single CSS variables version.
+
+This will also allow for the generation of character-specific stylesheets over at [Fedran](//fedran.com) not to mention the book covers over there.
+
+## The CLI
+
+The CLI is pretty simple, a verb-based Node script that installs into the `node_modules/.bin` folder as usual:
+
+```
+$ priduck
+priduck <cmd> [args]
+
+Commands:
+  priduck css      Generate CSS files
+  priduck palette  Generate palette files
+
+Options:
+  --version  Show version number                                       [boolean]
+  --help     Show help                                                 [boolean]
+
+Not enough non-option arguments: got 0, need at least 2
+```
+
+The three basic commands are:
+
+- `priduck css variables [--output /path/style.css]` to generate the CSS variables CSS file.
+- `priduck css mixin` to combine CSS fragments files instead a combination of media queries and data attributes for supporting `prefers-color-scheme` and `prefers-contrast` options.
+- `priduck palette gpl --hue [--output example.gpl]` which generates a hue-specific palette file for GNU Imp and Inkscape.
+
+## Documentation
+
+Along the process, a project can never be done if it isn't documented, so we wrote [some documentation](/priduck-color-theme-cli-js/). It gives the general gist of the tool. We'll expand on it some more "someday."
