+# SQLMesh plugin for SQLFluff
+
+This plugin works with [SQLFluff](https://pypi.org/project/sqlfluff/), the
+SQL linter for humans, to correctly parse and compile SQL projects using
+[SQLMesh](https://pypi.org/project/sqlmesh/).
+
+For more details on how to use this plugin,
+see the [SQLFluff documentation](https://docs.sqlfluff.com/).
