nit: extra line not needed, so remove this if you do another update.

## Discovering Additional Command Options

kind provides built-in help for all commands and subcommands.
You can explore available flags and usage details by running:

```
kind help
kind <command> --help
kind <command> <subcommand> --help
```

This applies to commands such as `kind load image-archive` and others.

This allows a workflow like:

```
docker build -t my-custom-image:unique-tag ./my-image-dir
