-TODO: Delete this and the text below, and describe your gem
-
-Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file `lib/data_taster`. To experiment with that code, run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt.
-
-## Installation
-
-TODO: Replace `UPDATE_WITH_YOUR_GEM_NAME_PRIOR_TO_RELEASE_TO_RUBYGEMS_ORG` with your gem name right after releasing it to RubyGems.org. Please do not do it earlier due to security reasons. Alternatively, replace this section with instructions to install your gem from git if you don't plan to release to RubyGems.org.
-
-Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:
-
-    $ bundle add UPDATE_WITH_YOUR_GEM_NAME_PRIOR_TO_RELEASE_TO_RUBYGEMS_ORG
-
-If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:
-
-    $ gem install UPDATE_WITH_YOUR_GEM_NAME_PRIOR_TO_RELEASE_TO_RUBYGEMS_ORG
-
-## Usage
-
-TODO: Write usage instructions here
-
-## Development
-
-After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
-
-To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).

 With DepShield, developers can stay ahead of the curve by receiving real-time alerts about deprecated code, ensuring a smoother transition to future updates. Tailor your development and demo environments to raise alarms, preventing the introduction of new deprecations. In addition, DepShield offers the flexibility to configure self-reporting mechanisms, allowing seamless issue notifications, configurable by environment Say goodbye to unexpected deprecation surprises and embrace a more streamlined and informed coding experience with DepShield!
 
+## Setup
+
+After installing DepShield, load any todo lists in your application with:
+
+`DepShield.todos.load("path-to-deprecation_todos.yml")`
+
 ## Usage
 
 `DepShield#raise_or_capture!` is used to mark methods as deprecated. When called, it will intelligently warn or raise exceptions to alert developers to the deprecated activity. The method expects two arguments, a `name` (ie, the name of the deprecation you're introducing), and a `message` (usually information about what is deprecated and how to fix it). Marking something as deprecated is pretty simple:

 Option A: the result of this is a logged warning every time the method is called.
 Option B: this will raise and notify our error catcher (Sentry).
