+# About
+
 This library is part of [incipit], a set of `Prelude` modules for the [Polysemy] ecosystem.
 It contains the reexports from `base` that are inherited by the other two packages.
+
+# Usage
+
+`incipit-base` exports `Prelude`, so in order to use it you only have to hide `Prelude` from `base`:
+
+For `hpack`:
+```yaml
+dependencies:
+  - name: base
+    version: '>= 4 && < 5'
+    mixin:
+      - hiding (Prelude)
+  - incipit-base >= 0.1.0.3
+```
+
+For `cabal`:
+```cabal
+build-depends:
+    base >=4 && <5, incipit-base >= 0.1.0.3
+mixins:
+    base hiding (Prelude)
+```
