+# Package Manager Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to use the PraisonAI package manager for installing and managing Python packages with security defaults.
+
+## Features Demonstrated
+
+- Installing packages with version constraints
+- Listing installed packages
+- Searching for packages on PyPI
+- Managing package index configuration
+- Security features (dependency confusion prevention)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Run the example
+python package_manager_example.py
+```
+
+## CLI Commands
+
+### Install Packages
+
+```bash
+# Install a package
+praisonai install requests
+
+# Install with version constraint
+praisonai install "requests>=2.28"
+
+# Install multiple packages
+praisonai install requests httpx aiohttp
+

+
+### Uninstall Packages
+
+```bash
+# Uninstall a package
+praisonai uninstall requests
+
+# Uninstall without confirmation
+praisonai uninstall requests --yes
+```
+
+### List Packages
+
+```bash
+# List all installed packages
+praisonai package list
+
+# JSON output
+praisonai package list --json
+```
+
+### Search Packages
+
+```bash
+# Search PyPI
+praisonai package search langchain
+
+# JSON output
+praisonai package search langchain --json
+```
+
+### Index Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Show current index settings
+praisonai package index show --json
+
+# Set custom index
+praisonai package index set https://pypi.mycompany.com/simple
+
+# Reset to PyPI default
+praisonai package index set https://pypi.org/simple
+```
+
+## Security Features
+
+By default, only the primary index (PyPI) is used. Extra indexes are blocked to prevent dependency confusion attacks.
+
+```bash
+# This will FAIL (extra index not allowed by default)
+praisonai install mypackage --extra-index-url https://other.index.com/simple
+
+# Explicitly allow extra index (shows security warning)
+praisonai install mypackage \
+  --extra-index-url https://other.index.com/simple \
+  --allow-extra-index
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+- `PRAISONAI_PACKAGE_INDEX_URL` - Override primary index URL
+- `PIP_INDEX_URL` - Fallback to pip's index URL

+# Policy Packs Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to use PraisonAI policy packs for managing tool permissions, data policies, and execution modes.
+
+## Features Demonstrated
+
+- Creating and loading policy packs
+- Tool permission checking (allow/deny)
+- Policy modes (dev/prod)
+- Merging policies
+- Data and PII policies
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+python policy_example.py
+```
+
+## CLI Commands
+
+```bash
+# Show default policy
+praisonai recipe policy show
+
+# Show policy from file
+praisonai recipe policy show my-policy.yaml
+
+# Create policy template
+praisonai recipe policy init -o my-policy.yaml
+
+# Validate policy file
+praisonai recipe policy validate my-policy.yaml
+```
+
+## Policy File Format
+
+```yaml
+name: my-org-policy
+version: "1.0"
+
+tools:
+  allow:
+    - web.search
+    - db.query
+  deny:
+    - shell.exec
+    - file.write
+
+network:
+  allow_domains:
+    - api.openai.com
+  deny_domains:
+    - localhost
+
+pii:
+  mode: redact  # allow, deny, redact
+  fields:
+    - email
+    - phone
+
+data:
+  retention_days: 30
+  export_allowed: true
+
+modes:
+  dev:
+    allow_interactive_prompts: true
+    strict_tool_enforcement: false
+  prod:
+    allow_interactive_prompts: false
+    strict_tool_enforcement: true
+    require_auth: true
+```
+
+## Using Policy with Recipe Run
+
+```bash
+# Run with policy file
+praisonai recipe run my-recipe --policy my-policy.yaml --mode prod
+```

+# Recipe Registry Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to use the PraisonAI recipe registry for publishing and pulling recipes via both local filesystem and HTTP server.
+
+## Features Demonstrated
+
+- Creating a local registry
+- Starting an HTTP registry server
+- Publishing recipes with token authentication
+- Listing and searching recipes
+- Pulling recipes from HTTP registry
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Run the HTTP registry example
+python http_registry_example.py
+```
+
+## HTTP Registry Server
+
+```bash
+# Start HTTP registry server
+praisonai registry serve --port 7777
+
+# Start with authentication
+praisonai registry serve --port 7777 --token mysecret

+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+- `PRAISONAI_REGISTRY_TOKEN` - Default token for HTTP registry authentication
+
+## Default Registry Location
+
+By default, the local registry is stored at `~/.praison/registry`.

+# Run History Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to use PraisonAI run history for storing, querying, and exporting recipe runs.
+
+## Features Demonstrated
+
+- Storing run results with input/output data
+- Listing and filtering runs
+- Querying run details
+- Exporting runs for replay/debugging
+- Storage statistics and cleanup
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+python run_history_example.py
+```
+
+## CLI Commands
+
+```bash
+# List recent runs
+praisonai recipe runs list
+
+# List runs for a specific recipe
+praisonai recipe runs list --recipe support-reply
+
+# Get storage stats
+praisonai recipe runs stats
+
+# Export a run
+praisonai recipe export run-abc123 -o export.json
+
+# Replay a run
+praisonai recipe replay export.json --compare
+
+# Cleanup old runs
+praisonai recipe runs cleanup
+```
+
+## Default Storage Location
+
+Run history is stored at `~/.praison/runs`.

+# Security Features Example
+
+This example demonstrates PraisonAI security features including SBOM generation, lockfile validation, dependency auditing, and PII redaction.
+
+## Features Demonstrated
+
+- **SBOM Generation**: Generate Software Bill of Materials in CycloneDX or SPDX format
+- **Lockfile Validation**: Validate presence and format of dependency lockfiles
+- **Dependency Auditing**: Audit dependencies for vulnerabilities
+- **PII Redaction**: Detect and redact personally identifiable information
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+python security_example.py
+```
+
+## CLI Commands
+
+### SBOM Generation
+
+```bash
+# Generate CycloneDX SBOM
+praisonai recipe sbom ./my-recipe --format cyclonedx -o sbom.json
+
+# Generate SPDX SBOM
+praisonai recipe sbom ./my-recipe --format spdx -o sbom.json
+```
+
+### Dependency Auditing
+
+```bash
+# Audit dependencies
+praisonai recipe audit ./my-recipe
+
+# Strict audit (fail on issues)
+praisonai recipe audit ./my-recipe --strict
+```
+
+### Lockfile Validation
+
+```bash
+# Validate recipe (includes lockfile check)
+praisonai recipe validate ./my-recipe --require-lockfile
+```
+
+## PII Redaction Configuration
+
+In your `TEMPLATE.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+data_policy:
+  pii:
+    mode: redact  # allow, deny, or redact
+    fields:
+      - email
+      - phone
+      - ssn
+      - credit_card
