 ### Development Workflow
@@ -58,7 +58,25 @@ While primarily optimized for VS Code, JetBrains IDEs are supported:
 ## AlgoKit Workspaces and Project Management
 This project supports both standalone and monorepo setups through AlgoKit workspaces. Leverage [`algokit project run`](https://github.com/algorandfoundation/algokit-cli/blob/main/docs/features/project/run.md) commands for efficient monorepo project orchestration and management across multiple projects within a workspace.
 
-> For guidance on `smart_contracts` folder and adding new contracts to the project please see [README](smart_contracts/README.md) on the respective folder.### Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)
+## AlgoKit Generators
+
+This template provides a set of [algokit generators](https://github.com/algorandfoundation/algokit-cli/blob/main/docs/features/generate.md) that allow you to further modify the project instantiated from the template to fit your needs, as well as giving you a base to build your own extensions to invoke via the `algokit generate` command.
+
+### Generate Smart Contract 
+
+By default the template creates a single `HelloWorld` contract under hello_world folder in the `smart_contracts` directory. To add a new contract:
+
+1. From the root of the project (`../`) execute `algokit generate smart-contract`. This will create a new starter smart contract and deployment configuration file under `{your_contract_name}` subfolder in the `smart_contracts` directory.
+2. Each contract potentially has different creation parameters and deployment steps. Hence, you need to define your deployment logic in `deploy_config.py`file.
+3. `config.py` file will automatically build all contracts in the `smart_contracts` directory. If you want to build specific contracts manually, modify the default code provided by the template in `config.py` file.
+
+> Please note, above is just a suggested convention tailored for the base configuration and structure of this template. The default code supplied by the template in `config.py` and `index.ts` (if using ts clients) files are tailored for the suggested convention. You are free to modify the structure and naming conventions as you see fit.
+
+### Generate '.env' files
+
+By default the template instance would not contain any env files. Using [`algokit project deploy`](https://github.com/algorandfoundation/algokit-cli/blob/main/docs/features/project/deploy.md) against `localnet` | `testnet` | `mainnet` will use default values for `algod` and `indexer` unless overwritten via `.env` or `.env.{target_network}`. 
+
+To generate a new `.env` or `.env.{target_network}` file, run `algokit generate env-file`### Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD)
 
 This project uses [GitHub Actions](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/understanding-github-actions) to define CI/CD workflows, which are located in the [.github/workflows](`.github/workflows`) folder.
