-## Setup Instructions(User): plano CLI
+## plano CLI - Local Development
 
-This guide will walk you through the steps to set up the plano cli on your local machine
+This guide will walk you through setting up the plano CLI for local development using uv.
 
-### Step 1: Create a Python virtual environment
+### Install uv
 
-In the tools directory, create a Python virtual environment by running:
-
-```bash
-python -m venv venv
-```
-
-### Step 2: Activate the virtual environment
-* On Linux/MacOS:
-
-```bash
-source venv/bin/activate
-```
-
-### Step 3: Run the build script
-```bash
-pip install planoai==0.4.1
-```
-
-## Uninstall Instructions: plano CLI
-```bash
-pip uninstall planoai
-```
-
-## Setup Instructions (Dev): plano CLI
-
-This guide will walk you through the steps to set up the plano cli on your local machine when you want to develop the plano CLI
-
-### Step 1: Install uv
-
-Install uv if you haven't already:
+First, install the uv package manager. This is required for managing dependencies and running the development version of planoai.
 
+**On macOS and Linux:**
 ```bash
 curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
 ```
 
-### Step 2: Create a Python virtual environment and install dependencies
-
-In the cli directory, run:
-
-```bash
-uv sync
+**On Windows:**
+```powershell
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
 ```
 
-This will create a virtual environment and install all dependencies.
+### Setup
 
-### Step 3: Activate the virtual environment (optional)
+1. **Install dependencies**
 
-uv will automatically use the virtual environment, but if you need to activate it manually:
+   In the cli directory, run:
 
-* On Linux/MacOS:
+   ```bash
+   uv sync
+   ```
 
-```bash
-source .venv/bin/activate
-```
+   This will create a virtual environment in `.venv` and install all dependencies from `pyproject.toml`.
 
-### Step 4: build Arch
+2. **Install the CLI tool globally (optional)**
+
+   To install planoai as a global tool on your system:
+
+   ```bash
+   uv tool install --editable .
+   ```
+
+   This installs planoai globally in editable mode, allowing you to run `planoai` commands from anywhere while still using the source code from this directory. Any changes you make to the code will be reflected immediately.
+
+3. **Run plano commands**
+
+   Use `uv run` to execute plano commands with the development version:
+
+   ```bash
+   uv run planoai build
+   ```
+
+   Or, if you installed globally with `uv tool install .`:
+
+   ```bash
+   planoai build
+   ```
+
+   Note: `uv run` automatically uses the virtual environment - no activation needed.
+
+### Development Workflow
+
+**Build plano:**
 ```bash
 uv run planoai build
 ```
 
-### Logs
-`plano` command can also view logs from the gateway. Use following command to view logs,
-
+**View logs:**
 ```bash
 uv run planoai logs --follow
 ```
 
-## Uninstall Instructions: plano CLI
+**Run other plano commands:**
 ```bash
-pip uninstall planoai
+uv run planoai <command> [options]
+```
+
+### Optional: Manual Virtual Environment Activation
+
+While `uv run` handles the virtual environment automatically, you can activate it manually if needed:
+
+```bash
+source .venv/bin/activate
+planoai build  # No need for 'uv run' when activated
+```
+
+**Note:** For end-user installation instructions, see the [plano documentation](https://docs.planoai.dev).
