+# Steam Backlog Enforcer
+
+Forces you to 100% complete one Steam game at a time before moving on.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Achievement tracking**: Picks the next game by shortest HLTB completionist time
+- **Store blocking**: Blocks `store.steampowered.com` via `/etc/hosts`
+- **Game uninstalling**: Removes all installed games except the assigned one
+- **Process enforcement**: Kills unauthorized game processes
+- **Tampering detection**: Detects achievement unlocks on non-assigned games
+- **HLTB integration**: Estimates completion time with persistent cache
+
+## Setup
+
+```bash
+python -m python_pkg.steam_backlog_enforcer.main setup
+```
+
+## Commands
+
+| Command     | Description                                |
+| ----------- | ------------------------------------------ |
+| `scan`      | Scan library, fetch HLTB data, assign game |
+| `check`     | Check if assigned game is complete         |
+| `status`    | Show current assignment and blocking       |
+| `list`      | List incomplete games from snapshot        |
+| `skip`      | Skip the currently assigned game           |
+| `enforce`   | Run enforcer (block, uninstall, kill)      |
+| `unblock`   | Remove store blocking                      |
+| `reset`     | Reset all state                            |
+| `installed` | List currently installed Steam games       |
+| `uninstall` | Interactively uninstall non-assigned games |
+| `setup`     | First-time configuration                   |
+
+## Enforce mode
+
+```bash
+sudo python -m python_pkg.steam_backlog_enforcer.main enforce
+```
+
+This will:
+
+1. Block Steam store in `/etc/hosts`
+2. Uninstall all games except the assigned one
+3. Continuously kill any unauthorized game processes
+
+## Game Uninstall
+
+Directly removes appmanifest files and game directories from `~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/`.
+Preserves Proton versions and Steam Linux Runtime.
+
+```bash
+python -m python_pkg.steam_backlog_enforcer.main uninstall
+```
