-## Enabling autocompletion
+### Autocompletion
 
-The clever-tools CLI comes with a comprehensive auto-completion system. Some installation methods through package managers will try to enable it automatically. If not, use this for bash:
+Enable smart autocompletion for bash or zsh:
 
 ```bash
+# Bash
 clever --bash-autocomplete-script $(which clever) | sudo tee /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/clever
+
+# Zsh  
+clever --zsh-autocomplete-script $(which clever) | sudo tee /usr/share/zsh/site-functions/_clever
 ```
 
-or that for zsh:
