+# Quick Start Guide for SpriteAI
+
+## Installation
+
+To get started with SpriteAI, first install the package using npm:
+
+```bash
+npm install spriteai
+```
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+### Generating Character Spritesheets
+
+Create pixel art character spritesheets with customizable animation states:
+
+```javascript
+import { generateCharacterSpritesheet } from 'spriteai';
+
+// Basic example
+const description = 'a heroic knight';
+const options = {
+  states: ['idle', 'walk', 'attack'],
+  framesPerState: 6,
+  style: 'pixel-art',
+  save: true
+};
+
+try {
+  const result = await generateCharacterSpritesheet(description, options);
+  console.log('Spritesheet generated:', result.spritesheet);
+} catch (error) {
+  console.error('Spritesheet generation failed:', error);
+}
+```
+
+### Available Options
+
+- `states`: Array of animation states (e.g., ['idle', 'walk', 'run'])
+- `framesPerState`: Number of frames for each animation state
+- `style`: Art style ('pixel-art', 'vector', '3d')
+- `size`: Output image size (default: '1024x1024')
+- `save`: Whether to save the generated spritesheet
+
+### Other Available Methods
+
+#### Fetch Available Animation States
+
+```javascript
+import { fetchAvailableAnimationStates } from 'spriteai';
+
+const states = await fetchAvailableAnimationStates();
+console.log('Available states:', states);
+// Example output: ['idle', 'walk', 'run', 'attack', 'jump', 'fall', 'hurt', 'die']
+```
+
+#### Fetch Available Sprite Styles
+
+```javascript
+import { fetchAvailableSpriteStyles } from 'spriteai';
+
+const styles = await fetchAvailableSpriteStyles();
+console.log('Available styles:', styles);
+// Example output: ['pixel-art', 'vector', '3d', 'hand-drawn', 'anime']
+```
+
+## Environment and Item Sprites
+
+### Generating Environment Sprites
+
+```javascript
+import { generateEnvironmentSprites } from 'spriteai';
+
+const description = 'fantasy forest';
+const options = {
+  elements: 4,
+  style: 'pixel-art',
+  theme: 'fantasy'
+};
+
+const result = await generateEnvironmentSprites(description, options);
+console.log('Environment tileset:', result.tileset);
+```
+
+### Generating Item Sprites
+
+```javascript
+import { generateItemSprites } from 'spriteai';
+
+const description = 'magical weapons';
+const options = {
+  itemCount: 4,
+  style: 'pixel-art',
+  itemType: 'equipment'
+};
+
+const result = await generateItemSprites(description, options);
+console.log('Item sheet:', result.itemSheet);
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js version 14.0.0 or higher
+- OpenAI API key (configure through environment variables)
+
+## Error Handling
+
+Always wrap asynchronous sprite generation methods in try/catch blocks to handle potential errors:
+
+```javascript
+try {
+  const spritesheet = await generateCharacterSpritesheet(description, options);
+} catch (error) {
+  // Handle specific error types
+  if (error.response) {
+    console.error('API Error:', error.response.data);
+  } else {
+    console.error('Sprite generation failed:', error.message);
+  }
+}
+```
