+`architect.cluster`
+===================
+
+This plugin wraps the node.js cluster API as an architect plugin.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+In your architect config:
+
+    {
+        packagePath: "architect/plugins/architect.cluster",
+        pluginBasePath: __dirname + "../plugins",
+        numWorkers: 16,
+        workerConfig: require("./worker"),
+        // This one is optional:
+        masterConfig: require("./master")
+    }
+    
+This will spin up 16 worker processes and one master process that manages those
+workers, if you specify `masterConfig`, this architect config will be loaded for
+the cluster master process. The `pluginBasePath` should point to the root path
+of your plugin directory to make plugins with relative paths ("./bla.bla") work.
