-Use `validate` before publication when a producer has written a new bundle. Use `inspect` to confirm normalized ids, timestamps, digests, file paths, and file sizes.
+Use `manifest create` when a local producer has written bundle files but not `manifest.json`. Use `validate` before publication when a producer has written a new bundle. Use `inspect` to confirm normalized ids, timestamps, digests, file paths, and file sizes.

 Use `BuildManifest` and `WriteManifest` when a producer already wrote all bundle files into the final root. `BuildManifest` can preserve an explicit file order, or `Scan: true` can recursively include regular files under `Root` in deterministic slash-path order. Scan mode includes dotfiles, excludes files named `manifest.json` or `.distributor.json`, and rejects symlinks.
 
+Shell producers can create the same manifest through the CLI after writing bundle files:
+
+```sh
+go run ./cmd/distributor manifest create <bundle-path> --id reports.example.2026-05-30
+go run ./cmd/distributor validate <bundle-path>
+```
+
+Use repeated `--file` flags to preserve a specific file order. If no `--file` flags are provided, the command scans the bundle directory recursively using the same filtering rules as `pkg/bundle.BuildManifest`.
+
 ## Dry Runs
 
 `--dry-run` loads and validates config, discovers source bundles, inspects destination state, plans outputs, and prints summary lines. It does not write output files, destination state, or SSH `known_hosts` entries.
