+### Output Format
+
+All commands support the `--output` (or `-o`) parameter to control the output format. This is especially useful for scripting and automation:
+
+```bash
+# Output as JSON (default for list commands)
+rli devbox list --output json
+rli devbox list -o json
+
+# Output as YAML
+rli devbox get <id> --output yaml
+rli devbox get <id> -o yaml
+
+# Output as text (default for single item commands)
+rli devbox get <id> --output text
+rli devbox get <id> -o text
+```
+
+**Supported formats:**
+
+- `text` - Human-readable key-value pairs (default for single items)
+- `json` - JSON format (default for list commands)
+- `yaml` - YAML format
+
+**Examples:**
+```bash
+# Use JSON output for scripting
+DEVBOX_ID=$(rli devbox create --name my-devbox -o json | jq -r '.id')
+
+# Use YAML for configuration files
+rli devbox get <id> -o yaml > devbox-config.yaml
+
+# Use text for simple output
+rli devbox list -o text
+```

 ## MCP Server (AI Integration)
 
 Runloop includes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI assistants like Claude to interact with your devboxes.
