+    <br>SAMT is a developer-focused, extendable and easy-to-learn toolkit for modeling APIs using a business-first approach</i>
+  <br>
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+## Documentation
+
+Get started with SAMT, learn fundamental concepts or extend SAMT with a custom generator.
+
+- [Getting Started](https://github.com/samtkit/core/wiki/Getting-Started)
+- [Modeling Concepts](https://github.com/samtkit/core/wiki/Modeling-Concepts)
+- [Visual Studio Code Plugin](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=samt.samt)
+
+### Advanced
+
+- [Authoring Generators](https://github.com/samtkit/core/wiki/Authoring-Generators)
+- [Architecture](https://github.com/samtkit/core/wiki/Architecture)
+
+## Development Setup
+
+SAMT is written in [Kotlin](https://kotlinlang.org/) and uses [Gradle](https://gradle.org/) as a build tool, for the best developer experience we recommend using [IntelliJ](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/).
+
+If you want to start SAMT locally, simply clone the repository and compile it using Gradle:
+
+```shell
+./gradlew assemble
+```
+
+You can also compile the CLI module locally:
+
+```shell
+./gradlew :cli:shadowJar
+```
+
+And then compile SAMT files using this locally compiled version:
+
+```shell
+java -jar ./cli/build/libs/samt-cli.jar ./specification/examples/todo-service/*.samt
+```
+
+If you're more interested in the [SAMT Visual Studio Code plugin](https://github.com/samtkit/vscode) or the related language server, you can also compile it locally as well:
+
+```shell
+./gradlew :language-server:shadowJar
+```
+
