+# New Nixvim template
+
+This template gives you a good starting point for configuring nixvim as a standalone module configuration.
+
+## Configuring
+
+To start configuring, just add or modify the module files in `./config`.
+If you add new modules, remember to import them in [`./config/default.nix`](./config/default.nix).
+
+## Using your vim configuration
+
+To use your configuration simply run the following command
+
+```
+nix run
+```
+
+## Configurations and packages
+
+Your nixvim configuration is created using `evalNixvim`.
+This is outputted as the `nixvimConfigurations.<system>.default` flake output.
+
+You can access your configuration's package outputs `<configuration>.config.build.package`.
+This is exported as the flake output `packages.<system>.default`.
+This package can be run using `nix run`.
+
+A test is also available as `<configuration>.config.build.test`.
+This is exported as the flake output `checks.<system>.default`.
+This test can be run using `nix flake check`.
+
+<!-- TODO: figure out how to _wrap_ an existing configuration as a nixos/hm module -->
