 Default API credentials are built-in, so you can start using agent-telegram immediately. To use your own credentials, get them at https://my.telegram.org and set via environment variables or `.env` file.
 
-## Agent Mode
+## Pipe-Friendly Patterns
 
-Use `--json` / `-j` for machine-readable output:
+All commands output JSON to stdout by default. Status/logs go to stderr.
 
 ```bash
-agent-telegram chat list --json
-agent-telegram chat open @user -l 10 --json
-agent-telegram send --to @user "Hello" --json
+# Get message IDs for piping
+agent-telegram msg list @user --output ids | head -5

+# Filter and select fields
+agent-telegram chat list --fields peer,title,type --filter type=channel
+
+# Continuous monitoring with jq
+agent-telegram updates --follow --type new_message | jq '{from: .data.message.from_name, text: .data.message.text}'

+# Quiet mode (suppress stderr, data only)
