-A project is a record of a working directory and recent session metadata. Note that any directory where you run `goose project` becomes a tracked project, so you might want to run the command from the directory where you want to work.
-
 **Alias**: `p`
 
 **Usage:**
 ```bash
 goose project
 ```
 
-The command provides three options:
-1. **Resume project with session**: Continue the last session in the project
-2. **Resume project with fresh session**: Start a new session in the project
-3. **Start new project in current directory**: Create a new project in the current directory
-
-:::note
-Goose stores your project history in `~/.local/share/goose/projects.json`.

+Goose Projects automatically track your working directories and associated sessions, making it easy to resume work across multiple codebases with full context preservation.
+
+A **project** in Goose is a record of a working directory where you've used Goose. Every time you run Goose, it automatically tracks the current directory as a project, storing:
+
+- **Path**: The absolute path to the project directory
+- **Last accessed**: When you last worked on this project  
+- **Last instruction**: The most recent command you gave to Goose
+- **Session ID**: The associated session for context continuity
+
+Projects are stored in `~/.local/share/goose/projects.json`.
+
+:::info CLI Only Feature
+Projects are currently available only through the Goose CLI. Desktop support is planned for future releases.
+:::
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+**Resume your most recent project:**
+
+```bash
+goose project  
+```
+
+**Browse all your projects:**
+
+```bash
+goose projects  
+```
+:::tip
+When resuming a project, you can continue the previous session or start fresh in that directory.
+:::
+
+For complete command syntax and options, see the [CLI Commands Guide](/docs/guides/goose-cli-commands#project).
+
+## Workflow Example
+
+Let's follow Sarah, a developer working on multiple projects throughout her day:
+
+### Morning: API Development
+```bash
+cd ~/projects/ecommerce-api
+goose session --name "api-auth-work"
+```
+*Sarah asks Goose to help implement JWT token refresh logic*
+
+### Mid-Morning: Mobile App Bug Fix  
+```bash
+cd ~/projects/mobile-app
+goose session
+```
+*Sarah gets help debugging an iOS crash in the login screen*
+
+### Afternoon: Admin Dashboard
+```bash
+cd ~/projects/admin-dashboard  
+goose session --name "dashboard-ui"
+```
+*Sarah works on creating user management interface components*
+
+### Next Day: Quick Resume
+```bash
+# From any directory, quickly resume the most recent project
+goose project
+```
+
+Goose shows:
+```
+┌ Goose Project Manager
+│
+◆ Choose an option:
+│  ○ Resume project with session: .../admin-dashboard
+│    Continue with the previous session
+│  ○ Resume project with fresh session: .../admin-dashboard  
+│    Change to the project directory but start a new session
+│  ○ Start new project in current directory: /Users/sarah
+│    Stay in the current directory and start a new session
+└
+```
+
+### Later: Browse All Projects
+```bash
+goose projects
+```
+
+Goose displays:
+```
+┌ Goose Project Manager
+│
+◆ Select a project:
+│  ○ 1  .../admin-dashboard (2025-01-07 09:15:30) [create user management interface]
+│  ○ 2  .../mobile-app (2025-01-06 11:45:20) [login screen crashing on iOS]  
+│  ○ 3  .../ecommerce-api (2025-01-06 09:30:15) [JWT token refresh logic]
+│  ○ Cancel
+└
+```
+
+Sarah can see her recent projects with timestamps and context, making it easy to choose where to continue working.
+
+## Benefits
+
+:::tip Time Savings
+Projects eliminate the typical 2-5 minutes lost when switching between codebases, especially valuable for developers working on multiple projects daily.
+:::
+
+- **Eliminate context switching friction** - Jump between projects instantly without manual navigation
+- **Preserve work context** - Resume exactly where you left off with full conversation history
+- **Seamless session integration** - Maintain continuity across different codebases
+
