-    QuantCoder CLI Tool
+    QuantCoder CLI - Generate QuantConnect Trading Algorithms from Research Articles
+    
+    QuantCoder uses NLP and LLMs to transform academic research articles into

+    
+    WORKFLOW:
+    
+        1. Search for articles:     quantcli search "momentum trading"
+        2. List found articles:     quantcli list
+        3. Download article PDF:    quantcli download 1
+        4. Summarize article:       quantcli summarize 1
+        5. Generate trading code:   quantcli generate-code 1
+    
+    INTERACTIVE MODE:
+    
+        quantcli interactive        Launch GUI for guided workflow
+    
+    For help on a specific command:
+    
+        quantcli <command> --help
