 To observe the downstream effects of changes in this `@typespec/http-client-python` package on `@azure-tools/typespec-python`, we require a green PR to the [autorest.python](https://github.com/Azure/autorest.python) repo to ensure this.
 
-To make the downstream PR, follow these steps:
+The creation of this downstream PR is semi-automatic
 
 1. Create your intended PR to the [microsoft/typespec](https://github.com/microsoft/typespec) repo for `@typespec/http-client-python`
 2. After the above CI passes, you get the url of a private package in CI.
