+# Cartridge Configurator
+
+The Cartridge Configurator is a tool for applying runtime configuration to cartridges dynamically.
+
+## Features
+
+- Apply runtime configuration to cartridges
+- Validate configuration against a schema
+- Support multi-environment configurations
+- Trigger hot-reload if supported
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+cd tools/cartridge-configurator
+npm install
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### Command Line
+
+```bash
+node configurator.js <cartridge-dir> <config-file> [--no-validate]
+```
+
+### Options
+
+- `<cartridge-dir>`: Path to the cartridge directory containing `cartridge.json`
+- `<config-file>`: Path to the configuration file for the cartridge
+- `--no-validate`: Skip configuration validation
+
+### Example
+
+```bash
+node configurator.js ../../cartridges/my-cartridge config.json
+```
+
+### Programmatic Usage
+
+```javascript
+import { applyConfig } from './configurator.js';
+
+const result = await applyConfig('path/to/cartridge', {
+  api_endpoint: 'https://api.example.com',
+  rate_limit: 1000,
+}, { validate: true });
+
+console.log('Configuration applied:', result);
+```
+
+## Output
+
+The Cartridge Configurator applies the configuration to the cartridge and writes it to a `config.json` file in the cartridge directory. If hot-reload is supported, it triggers a hot-reload of the cartridge.
