Description
Your docs say this:
`keybase decrypt foo.txt.asc # foo.txt.asc -> foo.txt`
which makes it sound like running that command will decrypt foo.txt.asc and then write foo.txt as a file. But it doesn't actually write the file—I had to add `> foo.txt` to the command.
I'd suggest either updating the documentation or changing the behavior as they currently don't match.

Research direction
Start with the `keybase decrypt` command and compare its observed behavior with the documentation example for `foo.txt.asc`. Determine whether the command is intended to create `foo.txt` or require shell redirection, then verify that the documentation and behavior agree.
