+This library turns [Motion Interchange](https://github.com/material-motion/motion-interchange-objc)
+data structures into performant Core Animation animations using a lightweight animator object.
+
+<img src="assets/calendar-chip.gif" />
+
+In the above example we're animating the expansion and collapse of a calendar event using the
+following motion specification:
+
+```objc
+struct CalendarChipTiming {
+  MDMMotionTiming chipWidth;
+  MDMMotionTiming chipHeight;
+  MDMMotionTiming chipY;
+
+  MDMMotionTiming chipContentOpacity;
+  MDMMotionTiming headerContentOpacity;
+
+  MDMMotionTiming navigationBarY;
+};
+typedef struct CalendarChipTiming CalendarChipTiming;
+
+struct CalendarChipMotionSpec {
+  CalendarChipTiming expansion;
+  CalendarChipTiming collapse;
+};
+typedef struct CalendarChipMotionSpec CalendarChipMotionSpec;
+
+FOUNDATION_EXTERN struct CalendarChipMotionSpec CalendarChipSpec;
+```
+
+In our application logic, we first determine which motion timing to use and then we create an
+instance of `MDMMotionAnimator`. The animator allows us to create animations with the given
+motion timing.
+
+```objc
+CalendarChipTiming timing = _expanded ? CalendarChipSpec.expansion : CalendarChipSpec.collapse;
+
+MDMMotionAnimator *animator = [[MDMMotionAnimator alloc] init];
+animator.shouldReverseValues = !_expanded;
+
+[animator animateWithTiming:timing.chipHeight
+                    toLayer:chipView.layer
+                 withValues:@[ @(chipFrame.size.height), @(headerFrame.size.height) ]
+                    keyPath:MDMKeyPathHeight];
+...
+```

 ### Architecture
 
-### How to ...
+`MDMMotionAnimator` is the primary API provided by this library and its external API is fairly
+straight forward. Once an instance is created, you can configure its behavior by modifying its
+properties. When you're ready to add an animation to a CALayer instance, simply call one of the
+`animate` method variants and an animation will instantly be added to the layer.
+
+This library depends on [MotionInterchange](https://github.com/material-motion/motion-interchange-objc)
+in order to represent motion timing in a consistent fashion.
+
+### How to animate a transition
+
+> This guide assumes that you are animating a two state bi-directional transition.
+
+Start by creating an `MDMMotionAnimator` instance.
+
+```objc
+MDMMotionAnimator *animator = [[MDMMotionAnimator alloc] init];
+```
+
+When we describe our transition we'll describe it as though we're moving forward and take advantage
+of the `shouldReverseValues` property on our animator to handle the reverse direction.
+
+```objc
+animator.shouldReverseValues = isTransitionReversed;
+```
+
+To animate a property on a view, we invoke the `animate` method. We must provide a timing, values,
+and a key path:
+
+```objc
+[animator animateWithTiming:timing
+                    toLayer:view.layer
+                 withValues:@[ @(collapsedHeight), @(expandedHeight) ]
+                    keyPath:MDMKeyPathHeight];
+```
+
+### How to animate an interruptible transition
+
+`MDMMotionAnimator` is configured by default to generate interruptible animations using Core
+Animation's additive animation APIs. You can simply re-execute the `animate` calls when your
+transition's direction changes and the animator will add new animations for the updated direction.
