-## Default Options
+## Configuration
 
-You can pass options directly in your Lualine sections:
+### Global Setup
+
+You can configure the plugin globally using the setup function:
 
 ```lua
-require("lualine").setup({
-  sections = {
-    lualine_c = {
 {
-        "harpoon",
+ -- Configure symbols used in the display
  symbol = {
   open = "[",
   close = "]",
   separator = "/",
   unknown = "?",
  },
+ -- Icon displayed before the harpoon status
  icon = "󰀱",
-      },
+ -- Show component even when there are no harpoon marks
-    },
+ show_when_empty = false,
-  },
+ -- Custom format function (overrides default formatting)
-})
+ format = function(current, total)
+  return string.format("Harpoon: %s/%d", current or "?", total)
+ end,
+ -- Cache timeout in milliseconds for performance
+ cache_timeout = 100,
+}
 ```
 
+### Per-Component Configuration
+
+You can also pass options directly in your Lualine sections:
+
+```lua
+{
+ sections = {
+  lualine_c = {
+   {
+    "harpoon",
+    symbol = {
+     open = "(",
+     close = ")",
+     separator = "|",
+     unknown = "?",
+    },
+    icon = "🎯",
+    show_when_empty = true,
+   },
+  },
+ },
+}
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Description |
+|--------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `symbol.open` | `string` | `"["` | Opening bracket for the display |
+| `symbol.close` | `string` | `"]"` | Closing bracket for the display |
+| `symbol.separator` | `string` | `"/"` | Separator between current and total |
+| `symbol.unknown` | `string` | `"?"` | Symbol when current position is unknown |
+| `icon` | `string` | `"󰀱"` | Icon displayed before the status |
+| `show_when_empty` | `boolean` | `false` | Show component when no harpoon marks exist |
+| `format` | `function?` | `nil` | Custom format function `(current, total) -> string` |
+| `cache_timeout` | `number` | `100` | Cache timeout in milliseconds for performance |
+
+## Custom Formatting
+
+You can provide a custom format function to completely control the display:
+
+```lua
+{
+  sections = {
+    lualine_c = {
+      {
+        "harpoon",
+        format = function(current, total)
+          if total == 0 then
+            return "No marks"
+          end
+          local mark = current and ("Mark " .. current) or "Not marked"
+          return string.format("%s (%d total)", mark, total)
+        end,
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+## Health Check
+
+Run `:checkhealth lualine-harpoon` to verify your setup and dependencies.
+
+## Performance
+
+The component includes caching to avoid unnecessary recalculation on every statusline update. The cache is automatically invalidated when:
+
+- You switch buffers
+- Buffer content changes
+- Harpoon marks are modified
+
+You can adjust the cache timeout via the `cache_timeout` option if needed.
+
