+*** Automatically updating Clubhouse story statuses

+Org-clubhouse can be configured to update the status of stories as you update
+their todo-keyword in org-mode. To opt-into this behavior, set the
+~org-clubhouse-mode~ minor-mode:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+(add-hook 'org-mode-hook #'org-clubhouse-mode nil nil)
+#+END_SRC
+
+The mapping from org-mode todo-keywords is configured via the
+~org-clubhouse-state-alist~ variable, which should be an [[https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Association-Lists.html][alist]] mapping (string)
+[[https://orgmode.org/manual/Workflow-states.html][org-mode todo-keywords]] to the (string) names of their corresponding workflow
+state. You can have todo-keywords that don't map to a workflow state (I use this
+in my workflow extensively) and org-clubhouse will just preserve the previous
+state of the story when moving to that state.
+
+An example config:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+(setq org-clubhouse-state-alist
+      '(("TODO"   . "To Do")
+        ("ACTIVE" . "In Progress")
