-```
-# For working with grpc
+## Installation Prerequisites
+
+Before you can start developing, you'll need to install the following tools:
+
+```bash
+# For working with gRPC
 brew install grpc protobuf
 
-# For generate abibinding
+# For generating ABI bindings
 go install github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/abigen@latest
 
+# For gRPC tools
 npm install -g grpc-tools
 ```
 
-# Spin up local node
+## Running a Local Node
 
-For node that connect to Ava pre-deployed AVS contract on Holesky testnet, we need to create a `config/aggregator.yaml`. Ask a dev on how to construct this file.

+Or use Docker Compose directly:
 
-```
-# Only  need to rebuild when having code change
+```bash
+# Only needed when code changes
 docker compose build
 
+# Start the services
 docker compose up
 ```
 
+Once Docker Compose is up, there are two services running:
 
-Once the docker compose is up, there are 2 services running:
+1. The aggregator on `localhost:2206`
+2. A gRPC web UI to inspect and debug content on `localhost:8080`
 
-1. The aggregator on localhost:2206
-2. A GRPC webui to inspect and debug content on localhost:8080
+Visit http://localhost:8080 to interactively create and construct requests to the gRPC node.
 
-Visit http://localhost:8080 and you can interactively create and construct
-request to our grpc node.
+For details on methods and payloads, check the `protocol.md` documentation. Look into the `examples` directory to run example workflows against the local node.

+## Running an Operator Locally
 
-# Run operator locally
+Running an operator locally allows you to schedule and see job execution. First, prepare a `config/operator.yaml` file, then run:

 ## Client SDK

-protobuf definition on this file.

 ## Storage REPL
 
-To inspect storage we use a simple repl.
+To inspect storage, we use a simple REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) interface. Connect to it with:
 
-```
+```bash
 telnet /tmp/ap.sock
 ```
 
-The repl support a few commands:
+### Supported Commands
 
-```
-list <prefix>*
-get <key>
-set <key> <value>
-gc
-``
+The REPL supports the following commands:
 
-Example:
-
-### List everything
+#### `list <prefix>*`
+Lists all keys that match the given prefix pattern. The asterisk (*) is used as a wildcard.
 
-```
+Example:
+```bash
+# List all keys in the database
 list *
-```
-
-### List active tasks
 
-```
+# List all active tasks
 list t:a:*
 ```
 
-### Read a key
+#### `get <key>`
+Retrieves and displays the value associated with the specified key.
 
-```
+Example:
+```bash
+# Get the value of a specific task
 get t:a:01JD3252QZKJPK20CPH0S179FH
 ```
 
-### Set a key
+#### `set <key> <value>`
+Sets a key to the specified value. You can also load values from files by prefixing the file path with an @ symbol.
 
-```
+Examples:
+```bash
+# Set a key with a direct value
 set t:a:01JD3252QZKJPK20CPH0S179FH 'value here'
+
+# Set a key with the contents of a file
+set t:a:01JD3252QZKJPK20CPH0S179FH @/path/to/file
+```
+
+#### `gc`
+Triggers garbage collection on the database with a ratio of 0.7. This helps reclaim space from deleted data.
+
+```bash
+gc
 ```
 
-Checkout repl.go for more information
+#### `exit`
+Closes the REPL connection.
 
+```bash
+exit
+```
 
-## Reset storage
+#### `rm <prefix>*`
+Deletes all keys that match the given prefix pattern. The command first lists all matching keys and then deletes them.
+
+```bash
+# Delete keys with a specific prefix
+rm prefix:*
+```
 
-During development, we may have to reset storage to erase bad data due to schema change. Once we're mature we will implement migration to migrate storage. For now to wipe out storage run:
+#### `backup <directory>`
+Creates a backup of the database to the specified directory. The backup is stored in a timestamped subdirectory with a filename of `badger.backup`.
 
+```bash
+# Backup the database to the /tmp/backups directory
+backup /tmp/backups
 ```
+
+#### `trigger`
+This command is currently under development and not fully implemented.
+
+## Resetting Storage
+
+During development, you may need to reset storage to erase bad data due to schema changes. In the future, we will implement migration to properly migrate storage. For now, to wipe out storage, run:
+
+```bash
 make dev-clean
 ```
