+## User Pack Template
+
+This is a template for your own user (or other purpose) pack.
+
+### init.el
+
+Use the file `init.el` for your own configuration elisp. If this starts
+getting unwieldy then you might want to break out the config into
+separate files which you can store in the config directory.
+
+### config
+
+Files placed in the `config` dir may then be referenced and pulled into
+your `init.el` via the fn `live-load-config-file`. For example, if you
+have the file config/foo.el then you may load it in with:
+
+    (live-load-config-file "foo.el")
+
+### lib
+
+ If you want to pull in external libraries into your pack, then you
+ should place the libraries within the lib dir. To add a directory
+ within the pack's lib directory to the Emacs load path (so that it's
+ contents are available to require) you can use the fn
+ `live-add-pack-lib`. For example, if you have the external library bar
+ stored in lib which contains the file `baz.el` which you wish to
+ require, this may be achieved by:
+
+    (live-add-pack-lib "bar")
+    (require 'baz)
+
+ Have fun!
