+# Command-Stream: Node.js vs Bun.js Comparison Examples
+
+This directory contains comprehensive examples showing how each command-stream feature works identically in both Node.js and Bun.js runtimes.
+
+## 🎯 Ultimate Runtime Comparison
+
+Each example demonstrates the **exact same code** working perfectly in both runtimes, showcasing command-stream's cross-runtime compatibility.
+
+## 📁 Example Categories
+
+### 1. **Basic Usage Patterns**
+- `01-basic-await-comparison.mjs` - Classic await pattern
+- `02-async-iteration-comparison.mjs` - Real-time streaming with async iteration
+- `03-eventemitter-comparison.mjs` - Event-driven pattern
+
+### 2. **Streaming Interfaces** 
+- `04-streaming-stdin-comparison.mjs` - Real-time stdin control
+- `05-streaming-buffers-comparison.mjs` - Buffer access
+- `06-streaming-strings-comparison.mjs` - String access
+
+### 3. **Built-in Commands**
+- `07-builtin-filesystem-comparison.mjs` - Cross-platform file operations
+- `08-builtin-utilities-comparison.mjs` - Utility commands (basename, dirname, seq)
+- `09-builtin-system-comparison.mjs` - System commands (echo, pwd, env)
+
+### 4. **Virtual Commands**
+- `10-virtual-basic-comparison.mjs` - Custom JavaScript commands
+- `11-virtual-streaming-comparison.mjs` - Streaming virtual commands
+- `12-virtual-pipeline-comparison.mjs` - Virtual commands in pipelines
+
+### 5. **Pipeline Support**
+- `13-pipeline-system-comparison.mjs` - System command pipelines
+- `14-pipeline-builtin-comparison.mjs` - Built-in command pipelines  
+- `15-pipeline-mixed-comparison.mjs` - Mixed command type pipelines
+
+### 6. **Options & Configuration**
+- `16-options-environment-comparison.mjs` - Custom environments
+- `17-options-directory-comparison.mjs` - Working directory control
+- `18-options-stdin-comparison.mjs` - Stdin handling
+
+### 7. **Execution Control**
+- `19-execution-sync-comparison.mjs` - Synchronous execution
+- `20-execution-async-comparison.mjs` - Asynchronous execution modes
+
+### 8. **Signal Handling**
+- `21-signals-sigint-comparison.mjs` - SIGINT forwarding
+- `22-signals-cleanup-comparison.mjs` - Process cleanup
+
+### 9. **Security Features**
+- `23-security-quoting-comparison.mjs` - Smart auto-quoting
+- `24-security-injection-comparison.mjs` - Injection protection
+
+### 10. **Shell Replacement**
+- `25-shell-errexit-comparison.mjs` - Error handling (set -e/+e)
+- `26-shell-verbose-comparison.mjs` - Verbose mode (set -x/+x)
+
+## 🚀 Running Examples
+
+Each example can be run with either runtime:
+
+```bash
+# Run with Node.js
+node examples/comparisons/01-basic-await-comparison.mjs
+
+# Run with Bun
+bun examples/comparisons/01-basic-await-comparison.mjs
+```
+
+## 🔧 Runtime Detection
+
+All examples include runtime detection to show which environment they're running in:
+
+```javascript
+const runtime = typeof globalThis.Bun !== 'undefined' ? 'Bun' : 'Node.js';
+console.log(`🚀 Running with ${runtime}`);
+```
+
+## 📊 Performance Notes
+
+- **Bun**: Generally faster startup and execution
+- **Node.js**: Broader ecosystem compatibility
+- **command-stream**: Identical API and behavior in both runtimes
+
+## 🎯 Key Takeaway
+
+**Every single feature works identically in both runtimes** - that's the power of command-stream's cross-runtime design!
