+# atomic [![GoDoc][doc-img]][doc] [![Build Status][ci-img]][ci] [![Coverage Status][cov-img]][cov]
+
+Simple numeric wrappers to enforce atomic access.
+
+## Installation
+`go get -u github.com/uber-go/atomic`
+
+## Usage
+The standard library's `sync/atomic` is powerful, but it's easy to forget which
+variables must be accessed atomically. `uber-go/atomic` preserves all the
+functionality of the standard library, but wraps the primitive numeric types to
+provide a safer, more convenient API.
+
+```go
+var atom atomic.Uint32
+atom.Store(42)
+atom.Sub(2)
+atom.CAS(40, 11)
+```
+
+See the [documentation][doc] for a complete API specification.
+
+## Development Status
+Stable.
