+# TypeScript Decorator metadata collector
+
+The `.d.ts` format does not preserve information about the Decorators applied to symbols.
+Some tools, such as Angular 2 template compiler, need access to statically analyzable
+information about Decorators, so this library allows programs to produce a `foo.metadata.json`
+to accompany a `foo.d.ts` file, and preserves the information that was lost in the declaration
+emit.
+
+## Releasing
+```
+$ gulp build.tools
+$ cp tools/metadata/package.json dist/tools/metadata/
+$ npm login [angularcore]
+$ npm publish dist/tools/metadata
