-## The `argoconfig` library chart
+### Structure of app-of-app charts
+
+The charts all share a similar structure that looks as follows:
+
+```
+.
+├── README.md
+├── Chart.lock
+├── Chart.yaml
+├── values.yaml
+├── ci
+│   └── default-values.yaml
+├── examples
+│   └── example-app.yaml
+└── templates
+    ├── NOTES.txt
+    └── example-app.yaml
+```
+
+In this example the chart contains a single application called `example-app`. Most files correspond to their regular
+helm chart counterparts but there are some special files. App names are dasherized in file names and camel cased
+when used in YAML keys. As an example, the application "Example App" has files names using `example-app` and keys
+using `exampleApp` throughout this documentation.
+
+`ci/defauls-values.yaml` is not specific to app-of-apps charts but it enables each app during chart testing with
+GitHub Actions:
+```yaml
+exampleApp:
+  enabled: true
+  values: {}
+    # values needed for testing defined here
+```
+
+`examples/example-app.yaml` contains an example on how to configure the given app using the chart:
+```yaml
+exampleApp:
+  enabled: true
+  values:
+    ingress:
+      enabled: true
+      annotations:
+        kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
+        kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"

+      tls:
+      - hosts:
+        - example-app.example.com
+        secretName: example-app-cert
+```
+
+`templates/NOTES.txt` highlights what apps where installed:
+```
+The following apps have been provisioned in Argo CD:
+{{ if .Values.exampleApp.enabled }}
+* Example App
+{{ end }}
+```
+
+The values file and the remainder of the templates are based on the `argoconfig` library chart. Their structure
+is described below.

 Inspired by various `common` charts. The [`argoconfig` library chart](https://github.com/adfinis-sygroup/helm-charts/tree/master/charts/argoconfig)
 helps us keep charts that manage Argo CD `Application` resources generic to some degree.
