 This will show the diagnostics diff for the `black` project between the `main` branch and your `my/feature` branch. To run the
-diff for all projects, you currently need to copy the project-selector regex from the CI pipeline in `.github/workflows/mypy_primer.yaml`.
+diff for all projects we currently enable in CI, use `--project-selector "/($(paste -s -d'|' crates/red_knot_python_semantic/resources/primer/good.txt))\$"`.
 
 You can also take a look at the [full list of ecosystem projects]. Note that some of them might still need a `knot_paths` configuration
 option to work correctly.
