# Description
The meaning of the word usage is specific to describing how a command
function is *used* and not a synonym for general description. Usage can
be used to describe the SYNOPSIS or EXAMPLES sections of a man page
where the permitted argument combinations are shown or example *uses*
are given.
Let's not confuse people and call it what it is a description.
Our `help` command already creates its own *Usage* section based on the
available arguments and doesn't refer to the description with usage.
# User-Facing Changes
`help commands` and `scope commands` will now use `description` or
`extra_description`
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
Breaking change in the plugin protocol:
In the signature record communicated with the engine.
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`
The same rename also takes place for the methods on
`SimplePluginCommand` and `PluginCommand`
# Tests + Formatting
- Updated plugin protocol specific changes
# After Submitting
- [ ] update plugin protocol doc
# Description
Add `README.md` files to each crate in our workspace (-plugins) and also
include it in the `lib.rs` documentation for <docs.rs> (if there is no
existing `lib.rs` crate documentation)
In all new README I added the defensive comment that the crates are not
considered stable for public consumption. If necessary we can adjust
this if we deem a crate useful for plugin authors.

Replaces #8824, which was languishing in review limbo and becoming
increasingly difficult to keep current with upstream changes.
In addition to all the edits, this PR includes updated documentation for
running unit tests via `std run-tests`.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
A CONTRIBUTING.md documenting guidelines and getting started info for
potential stdlib contributors.
# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
- `cargo run -- crates/nu-std/tests/run.nu` to run the tests for the
standard library

# Description
this PR uses the automatically loaded library from the tests by
replacing `use std.nu ...` with `use std ...`.
the `README` has been updated by
- removing the very deprencated "concrete examples"
- fixing the `use std` and the "run the tests" sections
the `README` can be previewed
[here](https://github.com/amtoine/nushell/blob/refactor/stdlib/use-std-in-tests-and-update-readme/crates/nu-std/README.md)

# Description
as we now have a prelude thanks to #8627, i'd like to work on the
structure of the library 😋
and i think the first step is to make it a true standalone crate 😏
this PR
- moves all the library from `crates/nu-utils/standard_library/` to
`crates/nu-std/`
- moves the `rust` loading code from `src/run.rs` to
`crates/nu-std/src/lib.rs`
