 Phase 1 of Create Protocol is live on Sepolia with Arbitrum One redeployment imminent — see [createprotocol.org](https://createprotocol.org).
 
+## Create Protocol `cr8` Execution Engine
+
+The `cr8` subcommand implements the [Create Protocol Execution Engine Specification](https://github.com/create-protocol/cr8/blob/main/specs/arbitrum-cli-cr8-subcommand.md). It is used for tasks, registrations, balances, and payouts.
+
+```bash
+# Register an agent
+arbitrum-cli cr8 register --address 0xAgent... --profile profile.json
+
+# Check balance
+arbitrum-cli cr8 balance --agent 17
+
+# List tasks
+arbitrum-cli cr8 tasks list --agent 17 --status open
+```
+
+These commands stream strictly typed JSON outputs designed for direct parsing by other processes and MCP environments. Mutating actions require the `--wallet` flag.
+
 ## MCP server
 
 Expose arbitrum-cli as a [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server so Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent can call Arbitrum directly.
