+# SecuBox Module Catalog
+
+This directory contains module catalog entries for the SecuBox AppStore.
+
+## Structure
+
+Each module has its own JSON file:
+- `<module-id>.json` - Module manifest and metadata
+
+## Module Catalog Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "id": "module-name",
+  "name": "Display Name",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "category": "networking",
+  "runtime": "native",
+  "packages": {
+    "required": ["package-name"],
+    "recommended": ["optional-package"]
+  },
+  "capabilities": ["capability-1", "capability-2"],
+  "requirements": {
+    "min_ram_mb": 64,
+    "min_storage_mb": 10
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Categories
+
+- `networking` - Network services and utilities
+- `security` - Security and threat detection
+- `monitoring` - System and network monitoring
+- `iot` - IoT and home automation
+- `media` - Media streaming and entertainment
+- `system` - System utilities and management
+
+## Adding New Modules
+
+1. Create a new JSON file: `<module-id>.json`
+2. Define the manifest with required fields:
+   - `id`, `name`, `version`
+   - `category`, `runtime`
+   - `packages`, `capabilities`
+
+3. Test installation:
+   ```bash
+   secubox app install <module-id>
+   ```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Module catalog files are used by `secubox-appstore` for module discovery
+- The `luci-app-secubox/appstore/apps.json` file contains the master catalog
+- Individual module files here provide detailed metadata for advanced features
