-# Kotlin LSIF indexer 
-![status: development](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/27137af2d15ae2e5af54fb7ec1081e001370f021901724d630e23003990b08c5/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f62616467652f7374617475732d646576656c6f706d656e742d79656c6c6f773f7374796c653d666c6174)
+# Kotlin LSIF support
 
-This project implements a Kotlin compiler plugin that generates an LSIF index from a project, using [SemanticDB](https://scalameta.org/docs/semanticdb/guide.html) as an intermediary format.   
+This codebase implements a Kotlin compiler plugin that can be used together with
+[lsif-java](https://sourcegraph.github.io/lsif-java) to emit
+[LSIF](https://lsif.dev) indexes for Kotlin projects.
 
-It is still highly under development, and as such includes no install/usage instructions.
+## Getting started
 
-Visit [lsif.dev](https://lsif.dev) to learn about LSIF.
+This project must be used together with lsif-java. Visit
+[https://sourcegraph.github.io/lsif-java/] for instructions on how to index
+Kotlin projects with lsif-java. Note that lsif-java indexes Kotlin sources even
+if you have no Java code.
