-Automatically exposes environment variables for all of your flags.
+Automatically exposes environment variables for all of your flags. It supports the standard flags package along with limited support for [Cobra](https://github.com/spf13/cobra) commands.
 
-Envy takes one parameter: a namespace prefix that will be used for environment variable lookups. Each flag registered in your app will be prefixed, uppercased, and hyphens exchanged for underscores; if a matching environment variable is found, it will set the respective flag value as long as the value is not otherwise explicitly set (see usage for precedence).

 **Side effects:**
 
 Setting a flag through an Envy generated environment variable will have the same effects on the default `flag.CommandLine` as if the flag were set via the command line. This only affect users that may rely on `flag.CommandLine` methods that make distinctions between set and to-be set flags (such as the `Visit` method).

+**Cobra compatibility:**
+
+The extensive types in Cobra's underlying [pflag](https://github.com/spf13/pflag) have not been tested, hence the "limited support" reference.
+
+Also, keep in mind that Cobra can change in a way that breaks support with envy. Functionality was tested as of 2018-11-19.
