+# Moss .NET SDK
+
+The .NET SDK for [Moss](https://github.com/usemoss/moss) — fast on-device
+retrieval. It wraps the native `libmoss` runtime through P/Invoke and exposes an
+idiomatic, async C# API for index management, hybrid search, and metadata
+filtering.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+        ┌──────────────────────────────────┐
+        │      Your application code       │
+        └──────────────┬───────────────────┘
+                       │
+        ┌──────────────▼───────────────────┐
+        │  Moss  (managed C#)              │  ← src/Moss
+        │  MossClient — async API for      │
+        │  indexing, querying, management  │
+        └──────────────┬───────────────────┘
+                       │  P/Invoke ([DllImport("moss")])
+        ┌──────────────▼───────────────────┐
+        │  libmoss  (native C ABI)         │  ← prebuilt runtime
+        │  hybrid search, data models      │
+        └──────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+- `src/Moss/` — the public SDK. `MossClient` plus the data models.
+- `src/Moss/Interop/` — the P/Invoke layer: raw `libmoss` declarations, C-ABI
+  struct mirrors, UTF-8 marshaling, and native-memory conversion/cleanup.
+
+The interop layer targets the same stable C ABI (`libmoss.h`) that the Go
+bindings bind via cgo.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```csharp
+using Moss;
+
+using var client = new MossClient("your_project_id", "your_project_key");
+
+await client.CreateIndexAsync("support-docs", new[]
+{
+    new DocumentInfo("1", "Refunds are processed within 3-5 business days."),
+    new DocumentInfo("2", "You can track your order on the dashboard."),
+});
+
+await client.LoadIndexAsync("support-docs");
+
+var results = await client.QueryAsync(
+    "support-docs", "how long do refunds take?", new QueryOptions { TopK = 3 });
+
+foreach (var doc in results.Docs)
+    Console.WriteLine($"[{doc.Score:F3}] {doc.Text}");
+```
+
+### Metadata filtering
+
+Attach string metadata at index time and pass a JSON filter at query time:
+
+```csharp
+await client.AddDocsAsync("support-docs", new[]
+{
+    new DocumentInfo("3", "EU refund policy…",
+        metadata: new Dictionary<string, string> { ["region"] = "eu" }),
+});
+
+var results = await client.QueryAsync("support-docs", "refund policy",
+    new QueryOptions
+    {
+        TopK = 5,
+        FilterJson = "{\"region\": \"eu\"}",
+    });
+```
+
+## API surface
+
+| Area | Methods |
+|------|---------|
+| Indexes | `CreateIndexAsync`, `GetIndexAsync`, `ListIndexesAsync`, `DeleteIndexAsync` |
+| Documents | `AddDocsAsync`, `DeleteDocsAsync`, `GetDocsAsync` |
+| Jobs | `GetJobStatusAsync` |
+| Local runtime | `LoadIndexAsync`, `UnloadIndexAsync`, `RefreshIndexAsync`, `QueryAsync` |
+
+All methods are asynchronous and accept a `CancellationToken`. Failures from the
+native runtime surface as `MossException` (carrying the status `Code` and the
+`moss_last_error` message).
+
+## The native runtime
+
+The SDK calls into `libmoss`, distributed as a prebuilt native library
+(`libmoss.so` on Linux, `libmoss.dylib` on macOS, `moss.dll` on Windows). It
+must be discoverable at runtime — on the standard library search path, next to
+your application, or via `NativeLibrary` resolution. Building and unit-testing
+the SDK does **not** require the native library; only running queries does.
+
+## Building and testing
+
+Requires the [.NET 8 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8.0).
+
+```bash
+cd sdks/dotnet
+dotnet build
+dotnet test        # unit tests run without libmoss
+```
+
+The unit tests cover the managed logic and the marshaling layer (UTF-8
+round-trips, native buffer packing, ABI struct sizes) and do not load the native
+library.
