-Optimize force field parameters against QC data using `pytorch`.
+The `descent` framework aims to offer a modern API for training classical force field parameters (either from a 
+traditional format such as SMIRNOFF or from some ML model) against reference data using `pytorch`.
 
-**Warning:** This code is currently experimental and under active development. If you are using this code,
-be aware that it is not guaranteed to provide the correct results, and the API can change without notice.

 ## Installation
 
-The package and its dependencies can be installed into a new conda environment using the `conda` package manager:
+This package can be installed using `conda` (or `mamba`, a faster version of `conda`):
 
 ```shell
-conda env create --name descent --file devtools/conda-envs/meta.yaml
+mamba install -c conda-forge descent
+```
+
+The example notebooks further require you install `jupyter`:
+
+```shell
+mamba install -c conda-forge jupyter
 ```
 
 ## Getting Started
 
-Examples for using this framework can be found in the [`examples`](examples) directory.
+To get started, see the [examples](examples).
+
+## Development
+
+A development conda environment can be created and activated by running:
+
+```shell
+make env
+conda activate descent
+```
+
+The environment will include all example and development dependencies, including linters and testing apparatus.
+
+Unit / example tests can be run using:
+
+```shell
+make test
+```
+
+The codebase can be formatted by running:
+
+```shell
+make format
+```
+
+or checked for lint with:
+
+```shell
+make lint
