+   #### Discover recipes
+   When using recipe-related CLI commands, there are a few ways to specify which recipe to use:
+   ##### Options 1: Provide the full file path
+   Use the exact path to the recipe file:
+      
+   ```sh
+   goose run --recipe ~/my_recipe.yaml
+   goose recipe validate ~/my_recipe.yaml
+   goose recipe deeplink ~/my_recipe.yaml
+   ```
+   ##### Option 2: Use the recipe name
+   If your recipe is named my_recipe, you can simply use the name:
+
+   ```sh
+   goose run --recipe my_recipe
+   goose recipe validate my_recipe
+   goose recipe deeplink my_recipe
+   ```
+   When you use the recipe name, Goose will search for the file in the following order:
+   1. Local search:
+      Goose will search for `my_recipe.yaml` or `my_recipe.json` in the current working directory
+      
+   2. Remote search (GitHub):
+      - If the `GOOSE_RECIPE_GITHUB_REPO` environment variable is set or configured in the `Goose Settings` via `goose configure`, Goose will search the specified GitHub repo. (eg: my_org/goose-recipes).
+      - Goose will look for `my_recipe/recipe.yaml` or `my_recipe/recipe.json` within that GitHub repository.
