+CAF: Shell module
+#################
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+   :depth: 2
+
+The shell module of the :ref:`lib_caf` (CAF) allows interactions with CAF modules and events using a predefined set of Zephyr's :ref:`zephyr:shell_api` commands.
+The module introduces a shell command for submitting events informing about button press or release (:c:struct:`button_event`).
+Submitting :c:struct:`button_event` related to the hardware button presses can be handled by the :ref:`caf_buttons`.
+
+Configuration
+*************
+
+To use the module, enable the following Kconfig options:
+
+* :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_CAF_SHELL` - This option is mandatory as it enables this module.
+* :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_SHELL` - This option enables Zephyr shell that is used by the module to receive commands from user.
+* :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_CAF` - This option enables the Common Application Framework.
+
+This module selects the Kconfig option :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_CAF_BUTTON_EVENTS`.
+
+Usage
+*****
+
+All shell commands of this module are subcommands of the :command:`caf_events` command.
+To send a :c:struct:`button_event`, use the following syntax:
+
+  .. code-block:: console
+
+     caf_events button_event [button_id] [pressed]
+
+The :command:`button_event` subcommand has two required arguments:
+
+* ``button_id`` - A decimal number represents the ID of a button.
+* ``pressed`` - Button press state, can only be either ``y`` or ``n``.
