 ## Contributing Sample Scripts
 
-- Add new scripts under `SampleScripts/` in the correct protocol folder:
-  - `SampleScripts/SSH/`
-  - `SampleScripts/HTTP/`
-  - `SampleScripts/Telnet/`
+- Add new scripts under `samples/` in the correct protocol folder:
+  - `samples/ssh/`
+  - `samples/http/`
+  - `samples/telnet/`
 - Follow the JSON structure in [docs/reference/script-structure.md](docs/reference/script-structure.md).
 - Include the standard operations your target supports whenever possible. At minimum, include `CheckSystem` (the operation behind **Test Connection**) and `CheckPassword`, unless accounts change their own passwords on that platform (in which case `CheckSystem` may not apply).
 - Use meaningful parameter names and sensible defaults.

 # Safeguard Custom Platform Scripts
 
-Build and adapt custom platform scripts for Safeguard when built-in platforms do not fit your target system.
+Build custom platform scripts for [Safeguard for Privileged Passwords (SPP)](https://www.oneidentity.com/products/safeguard-for-privileged-passwords/) when built-in platforms don't cover your target system.
 
-## What is this?
+Custom platform scripts are JSON definitions that teach SPP how to connect to any target — Linux hosts, network appliances, REST APIs, web portals, cloud services — and manage credentials (passwords, SSH keys, API keys) through SSH, HTTP, or Telnet.
 
-Safeguard custom platform scripts are JSON-based definitions that tell Safeguard for Privileged Passwords (SPP) how to connect to a target, navigate its interface, and perform credential operations such as password changes, key updates, and account validation.
+## Where Do I Start?
 
-This repository is for asset administrators and automation teams who need to manage passwords or SSH keys on operating systems, appliances, network devices, web applications, or vendor-specific workflows not covered by built-in platforms. It includes practical guidance and examples for both SSH- and HTTP-based integrations, plus historical Telnet-related content.

 ```powershell
+# Clone the repo
 git clone https://github.com/OneIdentity/SafeguardCustomPlatform.git
 cd SafeguardCustomPlatform
-```
-
-1. **Write.** Start with the closest template in `SampleScripts/Templates/`, then customize commands, prompts, parameters, and validation flow for your target.
-2. **Upload.** Use `Import-SafeguardCustomPlatformScript` from `safeguard-ps` to upload the script to SPP.
-3. **Test.** Validate against a safe test asset with `Test-SafeguardAssetAccountPassword -ExtendedLogging` before rolling into production.
