+**About ProcessCuration**
+
+ProcessCuration is a Python-based toolkit designed to process manually curated genome assemblies for submission.
+It reconciles AGP files (A Golden Path) created in PretextView with genome assembly FASTAs, preparing them for
+database submission through renaming, reorienting, and sorting operations.
+
+The toolkit is part of the VGP (Vertebrate Genomes Project) curation pipeline and works in conjunction with
+tools like gfastats and MashMap.
+
+**Input Naming Convention**
+
+Scaffolds must follow the naming pattern before curation:
+- Haplotype 1: H1.scaffold_X
+- Haplotype 2: H2.scaffold_X
+
+**More Information**
