+### `alphaview` — alpha weight(s) alongside bar data for one symbol
+
+Join the bar dataset and one or more alpha parquet files on `(symbol, date)` and
+print them side by side, so you can eyeball how a weight moves against price /
+volume over a time range.
+
+| Option | Default | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `--data-path` | (required) | Bar dataset dir or parquet file |
+| `--alpha-path` | (required) | Comma-separated alpha parquet path(s) — each `alpha_name` becomes a column |
+| `--symbol` | (required) | Symbol id, e.g. `sh600000` |
+| `--start-date` | — | `YYYY-MM-DD` (inclusive) |
+| `--end-date` | — | `YYYY-MM-DD` (inclusive) |
+| `-c, --columns` | `close,volume` | Comma-separated bar columns to show |
+
+```bash
+python3 cli.py alphaview \
+    --data-path data/daily_bars/csi500 \
+    --alpha-path alphas/reversal_5d.pq,alphas/momentum_5d.pq \
