-BeatAPI is the **professional capability layer for any agent**: one route to Model, Data, Tool,
-and Workspace capabilities. This repository provides the official terminal and
-TypeScript interfaces, including the unified Search, Inspect, Run, and status
-loop.
+## Try capability discovery
+
+Install the CLI and browse the catalog without an API key:
 
 ```bash
 npm install --global beatapi
-beatapi capabilities search --query video --limit 5
+beatapi capabilities search --query image --kind model --limit 3
+beatapi capabilities search --query search --kind data --platform twitter --limit 3
+```
+
+Copy a `reference` from the result, then inspect its input contract:
+
+```bash
+beatapi capabilities inspect REFERENCE
 ```
 
-The live catalog is intentionally not hardcoded into the packages. Discover
-current text, image, and video models plus 1,000+ Social Data actions at runtime,
-then inspect the selected contract before execution. See
-[the capability guide](docs/capabilities.md).
+`REFERENCE` is a placeholder for an actual Search result. Search and Inspect
+are anonymous. When you are ready to execute, create an API key in the
+[dashboard](https://beatapi.io/dashboard/apikeys) and run `beatapi auth login`.
+Execution requires a funded account where applicable. Results go to stdout as
+JSON; progress and errors go to stderr.
+
+The catalog is discovered at runtime rather than hardcoded into each release.
+Current capability categories include text, image, and video models, Social
+Data, SEO Data, Web Search, and workflows. Inspect the selected contract before
+execution; see the [capability guide](docs/capabilities.md).

 # beatapi
 
-Official BeatAPI command-line interface for people, scripts, and AI agents.
-Discover current Model, Data, and Workflow capabilities instead of relying on
-a copied model list.
+**The professional capability layer for any agent.**
 
-Version 0.3.0 adds unified capability commands:
+Official BeatAPI CLI to discover and run AI models, data APIs, and workflows
+from your terminal or AI agent. Browse the current catalog, inspect an input
+contract, and execute with one API key.
 
-```sh
-beatapi capabilities search --query image --kind model --limit 5
-beatapi capabilities inspect <reference-returned-by-search>
-beatapi capabilities run <inspected-reference> --file input.json --idempotency-key <unique-task-key>
-beatapi capabilities status <same-reference> <returned-task-id> --wait
-```
+## Install and discover
 
-Search/Inspect are anonymous and do not validate the key. Run `auth status` for
-that. Partial contracts require the official API docs; the CLI never fills missing
-parameters. Starts may spend money. Reuse the same idempotency key/input on retry.
-Synchronous Data results return immediately and need no polling. All capability
-commands support `--output <new-file.json>` without overwriting existing files.

 ```bash
 npm install --global beatapi
+beatapi capabilities search --query image --kind model --limit 3

+beatapi capabilities inspect REFERENCE
+```
+
+Replace `REFERENCE` with a value returned by Search. Search and Inspect are
+anonymous; they do not validate an API key. Model IDs and data actions are
+discovered at runtime instead of copied from a fixed list.
+
+## Authenticate and execute
+
+Create a key in the [BeatAPI dashboard](https://beatapi.io/dashboard/apikeys):
+
+```bash
 beatapi auth login
-beatapi workflows list
+beatapi auth status
+beatapi capabilities run REFERENCE --file ./input.json --idempotency-key REQUEST_KEY
+beatapi capabilities status REFERENCE TASK_ID --wait

-The login command validates the key before storing it in the operating
-system's credential manager. For CI and short-lived shells, set
-`BEATAPI_API_KEY` instead.
+`REFERENCE`, `REQUEST_KEY`, and `TASK_ID` are placeholders. Inspect the selected
+contract and create a matching `input.json` before running it. If the contract
+is partial, consult the [API docs](https://docs.beatapi.io/); the CLI never fills
+missing parameters. Starts may spend money. Reuse the same idempotency key and
