   Agent Script file successfully compiles. If there are compilation errors, the command exits and you must fix the Agent
   Script file to continue. Once the Agent Script file compiles, then it's published to the org, which in turn creates
   new associated metadata (Bot, BotVersion, GenAiX), or new versions of the metadata if the agent already exists. The
-  new or updated metadata is retrieved back to your DX project, and then the authoring bundle metadata
-  (AiAuthoringBundle) is deployed to your org.
+  new or updated metadata is retrieved back to your DX project; specify the --skip-retrieve flag to skip this step.
+  Finally, the authoring bundle metadata (AiAuthoringBundle) is deployed to your org.
