+
+## Conversion tool
+
+Naga can be used as a CLI, which allows to test the conversion of different code paths.
+
+First, install `naga-cli` from crates.io or directly from GitHub.
+
+```bash
+# release version
+cargo install naga-cli
+
+# development version
+cargo install naga-cli --git https://github.com/gfx-rs/naga.git
+```
+
+Then, you can run `naga` command.
+
+```bash
+naga my_shader.wgsl # validate only
+naga my_shader.spv my_shader.txt # dump the IR module into a file
+naga my_shader.spv my_shader.metal --flow-dir flow-dir # convert the SPV to Metal, also dump the SPIR-V flow graph to `flow-dir`
+naga my_shader.wgsl my_shader.vert --profile es310 # convert the WGSL to GLSL vertex stage under ES 3.20 profile
+```
+
+As naga includes a default binary target, you can also use `cargo run` without installation. This is useful when you develop naga itself, or investigate the behavior of naga at a specific commit (e.g. [wgpu](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu) might pin a different version of naga than the `HEAD` of this repository).
+
+```bash
+cargo run my_shader.wgsl
+```
+
+## Development workflow
+
+The main instrument aiding the development is the good old `cargo test --all-features --workspace`,
+which will run the unit tests, and also update all the snapshots. You'll see these
+changes in git before committing the code.
+
+If working on a particular front-end or back-end, it may be convenient to
+enable the relevant features in `Cargo.toml`, e.g.
+```toml
+default = ["spv-out"] #TEMP!
+```
+This allows IDE basic checks to report errors there, unless your IDE is sufficiently configurable already.
+
+Finally, when changes to the snapshots are made, we should verify that the produced shaders
+are indeed valid for the target platforms they are compiled for. We automate this with `Makefile`:
+```bash
+make validate-spv # for Vulkan shaders, requires SPIRV-Tools installed
+make validate-msl # for Metal shaders, requires XCode command-line tools installed
+make validate-glsl # for OpenGL shaders, requires GLSLang installed
+make validate-dot # for dot files, requires GraphViz installed
+make validate-wgsl # for WGSL shaders
+make validate-hlsl-dxc # for HLSL shaders via DXC
+make validate-hlsl-fxc # for HLSL shaders via FXC
+# Note: HLSL Make targets make use of the "sh" shell. This is not the default shell in Windows.
+```
