+## Search Path Configuration
+
+Extensions may need to execute external commands or tools. By default, goose uses your system's PATH environment variable. You can add additional search directories in your config file:
+
+```yaml
+GOOSE_SEARCH_PATHS:
+  - "/usr/local/bin"
+  - "~/custom/tools"
+  - "/opt/homebrew/bin"
+```
+
+These paths are prepended to the system PATH when running extension commands, ensuring your custom tools are found without modifying your global PATH.
+
 ## Configuration Priority
 
 Settings are applied in the following order of precedence:

+### JSON Output Format
+
+For automation, scripting, and CI/CD integration, you can get structured output from `goose run` using the `--output-format json` flag:
+
+```bash
+# Run with JSON output for automation
+goose run --output-format json -t "your instructions"
+
+# Run a recipe with JSON output
+goose run --output-format json --recipe recipe.yaml
+
+# Combine with other options
+goose run --output-format json --no-session -t "automated task"
+```
+
+The JSON output includes:
+- Session metadata and execution results
+- Tool outputs and any errors
+- Structured data suitable for parsing by scripts and CI/CD pipelines
+
