+# Patches Support
+
+Chartify now supports Kustomize-style patches through the `Patches` field in `ChartifyOpts` and the `--patch` CLI flag.
+
+## Overview
+
+The patches feature allows you to apply modifications to Kubernetes resources using either:
+- **Strategic Merge Patches**: YAML that gets merged with existing resources
+- **JSON Patches**: RFC 6902 JSON patch operations
+
+Patches can be:
+- **File-based**: Reference patch files using the `Path` field
+- **Inline**: Include patch content directly using the `Patch` field
+- **Targeted**: Specify which resources to patch using the `Target` field
+
+## Examples
+
+### Strategic Merge Patch (File-based)
+
+```yaml
+patches:
+- path: "./my-patch.yaml"
+```
+
+Where `my-patch.yaml` contains:
+```yaml
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment
+metadata:
+  name: myapp
+spec:
+  replicas: 3
+  template:
+    spec:
+      containers:
+      - name: myapp
+        image: myapp:v2.0.0
+```
+
+### Strategic Merge Patch (Inline)
+
+```yaml
+patches:
+- patch: |-
+    apiVersion: apps/v1
+    kind: Deployment
+    metadata:
+      name: myapp
+    spec:
+      replicas: 5
+```
+
+### JSON Patch (Inline with Target)
+
+```yaml
+patches:
+- target:
+    kind: Deployment
+    name: myapp
+  patch: |-
+    - op: replace
+      path: /spec/replicas
+      value: 7
+    - op: replace
+      path: /spec/template/spec/containers/0/image
+      value: myapp:v3.0.0
+```
+
+## CLI Usage
+
+Use the `--patch` flag to specify patch files:
+
+```bash
+chartify myapp ./my-chart -o ./output --patch ./my-patch.yaml
+```
+
+Multiple patches can be specified:
+
+```bash
+chartify myapp ./my-chart -o ./output --patch ./patch1.yaml --patch ./patch2.yaml
+```
+
+## Auto-detection
+
+Chartify automatically detects whether a patch is a Strategic Merge Patch or JSON Patch based on the content structure:
+
+- **JSON Patches**: Must contain operations with `op` and `path` fields
+- **Strategic Merge Patches**: Standard Kubernetes YAML resources
+
+JSON patches require a target specification to identify which resources to patch.
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+The new patches feature is fully backward compatible with existing functionality:
+- `JsonPatches` field continues to work as before
+- `StrategicMergePatches` field continues to work as before
+- `--strategic-merge-patch` CLI flag continues to work as before
+
+The new `Patches` field provides a unified interface that can handle both types.
