+# AWS CDK plugin
+
+This plugin adds completion for the [AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK)](https://aws.amazon.com/cdk/) CLI.
+
+To use it, add `cdk` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
+
+```zsh
+plugins=(... cdk)
+```
+
+If the `cdk` command is installed globally, the plugin uses it directly. If `cdk` is not found but `npx` is
+available, the plugin defines a `cdk` wrapper that runs `npx -- cdk`, which supports project-local CDK
+installations.
+
+This plugin does not add any aliases.
