-# LiteCharmsShared
+# LiteCharms.Components
+
+A suite of shared libraries providing core logic, models, and infrastructure for the LiteCharms ecosystem.
+
+## 📦 Published Packages
+All packages are versioned and pushed to [Nexus](https://nexus.khongisa.co.za) automatically via CI/CD.
+
+* **Abstractions:** Interfaces and base contracts.
+* **Models:** Shared DTOs and Request/Response objects.
+* **Entities:** Database schema definitions.
+* **Infrastructure:** Persistence and external service clients.
+* **Features:** Core business logic modules.
+* **Extensions:** Shared helper methods and DI configurations.
+
+## 🚀 CI/CD Workflow
+1. Create a **Pull Request** to `master`.
+2. Drone CI builds, tests, and packs the suite as `1.${DRONE_BUILD_NUMBER}.0`.
+3. Packages are pushed to the Nexus `nuget-hosted` repository.
+4. A formal **Gitea Release** is created with the versioned "Bill of Materials."
+
+## 🛠 Usage
+Add the Nexus NuGet source to your local environment and reference the version listed in the latest Gitea Release:
+`dotnet add package LiteCharms.Models -v 1.XX.0`
