-## For AI Agents & Developers
-
-This CLI is designed to enable AI agents to assist developers in building Workato assets:
+## Next Steps
 
-### **Recipe Development Workflow**
-1. **Validate Recipes**: `workato recipes validate` to check JSON syntax and structure
-2. **Create Connections**: `workato connections create` to set up OAuth authentication
-3. **Update Recipe Connections**: `workato recipes update-connection` to link recipes to connections
-4. **Deploy**: `workato push` to deploy recipes to Workato
-5. **Monitor**: `workato recipes jobs` to track execution

-### **AI Agent Capabilities**
-- **Recipe Validation**: Catch errors before deployment
-- **Connection Management**: Handle OAuth flows automatically
-- **Project Synchronization**: Keep local and remote in sync
-- **AI Documentation Interface**: `workato guide` provides structured knowledge for AI agents
-- **Error Diagnosis**: Detailed error messages and validation feedback
 
-## Key Commands
+## Quick Recipe Workflow
 
-- `workato init` - Initialize CLI configuration and workspace
-- `workato profiles create/use` - Manage multiple environments
-- `workato recipes list/validate/start/stop` - Recipe lifecycle management
-- `workato connections create-oauth/list` - OAuth connection management
-- `workato connectors list/parameters` - Explore available connectors
-- `workato push/pull` - Sync projects with Workato workspace
-- `workato guide topics/search/content` - AI agent documentation interface
-
-## Use Cases
+```bash
+# 1. Validate a recipe file
+workato recipes validate --path ./my-recipe.json
 
-Perfect for:
-- **🤖 AI Agents**: Automated recipe validation, connection management, and troubleshooting assistance
-- **👨‍💻 Developers**: Local-first development with git integration and multi-environment support
-- **🏢 Teams**: CI/CD pipelines, bulk operations, and standardized workflows
-- **🔧 DevOps**: Infrastructure as code, automated deployments, and monitoring
+# 2. Push changes to Workato
+workato push
 
-> 📖 **See [resources/use-cases.md](resources/use-cases.md) for detailed scenarios and examples**
+# 3. Pull latest from remote
+workato pull
+```
 
-## Requirements
+You're ready to go!
 
-- **Python 3.11+** (type hints and modern async support)
-- **Workato API token** (from your Workato account settings)
-- **Valid Workato account** with API access
