+## Getting Started
+
+Once Desktop Commander is installed and Claude Desktop is restarted, you're ready to supercharge your Claude experience!
+
+### 🚀 New User Onboarding
+
+Desktop Commander includes intelligent onboarding to help you discover what's possible:
+
+**For New Users:** When you're just getting started (fewer than 10 successful commands), Claude will automatically offer helpful getting-started guidance and practical tutorials after you use Desktop Commander successfully.
+
+**Request Help Anytime:** You can ask for onboarding assistance at any time by simply saying:
+- *"Help me get started with Desktop Commander"*
+- *"Show me Desktop Commander examples"* 
+- *"What can I do with Desktop Commander?"*
+
+Claude will then show you beginner-friendly tutorials and examples, including:
+- 📁 Organizing your Downloads folder automatically
+- 📊 Analyzing CSV/Excel files with Python
+- ⚙️ Setting up GitHub Actions CI/CD
+- 🔍 Exploring and understanding codebases
+- 🤖 Running interactive development environments

+                        about what Desktop Commander can do, answer that there are example use cases and tutorials 
+                        available, then call get_prompts with action='list_prompts' and category='onboarding' to show them.
+                        
+                        ACTIONS:
+                        - list_categories: Show all available prompt categories
+                        - list_prompts: List prompts (optionally filtered by category)  
+                        - get_prompt: Retrieve and execute a specific prompt by ID
+                        
+                        WORKFLOW:
+                        1. Use list_categories to see available categories
+                        2. Use list_prompts to browse prompts in a category
+                        3. Use get_prompt with promptId to retrieve and start using a prompt
+                        
+                        EXAMPLES:
+                        - get_prompts(action='list_categories') - See all categories
+                        - get_prompts(action='list_prompts', category='onboarding') - See onboarding prompts
+                        - get_prompts(action='get_prompt', promptId='onb_001') - Get a specific prompt
+                        
+                        The get_prompt action will automatically inject the prompt content and begin execution.
