 Interacting with clef

+Requests for account management, and signing will be directed at clef, with a 60 second timeout.
 Be alert for user-interactive requests and confirmations from the clef CLI.
 
 
+By default, all requests to the clef signer require manual confirmation.
+This include not only transactions, but also more innocuous requests such as listing the accounts
+that the signer is handling. This means, for example, that a command like ``nucypher stake accounts`` will first
+ask for user confirmation in the clef CLI before showing the staker accounts.
+
+To overcome this, Clef allows to define rules to automate the confirmation of certain transactions,
+or more generally, of some requests to the signer.
+In particular, we recommend users using a Clef signer with nucypher that define the following rules file,
+which simply approves the listing of accounts:
+
+.. code:: javascript
+
+    function ApproveListing() {
+        return "Approve"
+    }
+
+The sha256 digest of this particular 3-line file is ``8d089001fbb55eb8d9661b04be36ce3285ffa940e5cdf248d0071620cf02ebcd``.
+We will use this digest to attest that we trust these rules:
+
+.. code:: bash
+
+    $ clef attest 8d089001fbb55eb8d9661b04be36ce3285ffa940e5cdf248d0071620cf02ebcd
+
+    WARNING!
+
+    Clef is an account management tool. It may, like any software, contain bugs.
+
+    Please take care to
+    - backup your keystore files,
+    - verify that the keystore(s) can be opened with your password.
+
+    Clef is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY;
+    without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+    PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.

+
+Once the rules file is attested, we can run Clef with the ``--rules rules.js`` flag,
+to indicate which are the automated rules (in our case, allowing listing of accounts):
