+## Objectives
+
+*"Do one thing and do it well"*  —  Per the [Unix philosophy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy), emphasis was placed on building simple, short, clear, modular, and extensible code that can be easily maintained and repurposed.
+
+*Portability* — [POSIX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX) compliance ensures seamless compatibility and interoperability between variants of Unix and other operating systems.
+
+*Usability* — Commands and shortcuts should feel natural and accessible using a [standard 104-key US keyboard layout](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout).  Where possible, the number of keystrokes shall be minimized.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+```shell
+usage: kirc [-s hostname] [-p port] [-c channel] [-n nick] [-r real name] [-u username] [-k password] [-w columns] [-W columns] [-o path] [-v|V]
+-s     server address (default: 'irc.freenode.org')
+-p     server port (default: '6667')
+-c     channel name (default: '#kisslinux')
+-n     nickname (required)
+-u     server username (optional)
+-k     server password (optional)
+-r     real name (optional)
+-v     version information
+-V     verbose output (e.g. raw stream)
+-o     output path to log irc stream
+-w     maximum width of the printed left column (default: '10')
+-W     maximum width of the entire printed stream (default '80')
+```
+
+Features
+--------
+
+- No dependencies other than a [C99 compiler](https://gcc.gnu.org/).
+- Automatic server *PING* response.
+- Complies with [RFC 2812](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2812) standard.
+- vi-like command shortcuts:
+
+```shell
+<message>                   Send a message to the current channel.
+/m <nick|channel> <message> Send a message to a specified channel or nick.
+/M <message>                Send a message to NickServ.
+/Q <message>                Send a message and close the host connection.
+/x <message>                Send a message directly to the server.
+/j <channel>                Join a specified channel.
+/p <channel>                Leave (part) a specified channel.
+/n                          List all users on the current channel.
+/q                          Close the host connection.
+```
+
+- Color scheme definition via [ANSI 8-bit colors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code). Therefore, one could theoretically achieve uniform color definition across all shell applications and tools.
