+## MCL command
+
+The mcl tool contained in this repository has a number of commands which can be given to it as a commandline argument. They are:
+
+### ci_matrix
+
+Evaluates each package, and compares it to it's last cached version, creating a table listing which packages are cached, which aren't, and which failed.
+This command is not meant to be run manually, but rather to be ran by the CI.
+
+ENV Variables:
+- IS_INITIAL: `true` or `false`
+- CACHIX_CACHE: Which cachix cache to search
+- CACHIX_AUTH_TOKEN: The auth token for the cache
+- FLAKE_PRE: Flake path prefix
+- FLAKE_POST: Flake path postfix
+
+Usage: Use `mcl ci` instead
