 ## Directory Structure
 
-- Actions related to trestle-bot are located in the `trestlebot/actions` directory.
-- Entrypoint scripts for actions are stored in the `trestlebot/entrypoints` directory.
+- Actions related to trestle-bot are located in the `actions` directory.
+- Actions should correlate an entrypoint under the `trestlebot/entrypoints` directory.
 
 ## Adding a New Action
 
 Contributors should scope trestle-bot actions to workspace management and checks. To add a new action:
 
-1. Create an entrypoint script for the action in the `trestlebot/entrypoints` directory.
-2. Create a new directory in the `trestlebot/actions` directory.
-3. In the new directory, create an `action.yml` file that references your entrypoint script.
+> Prerequisite: An entrypoint was created under the `trestlebot/entrypoints` directory and added to the `pyproject.toml` under `[tool.poetry.scripts]`
+
+1. Create a new directory in the `actions` directory.
+2. In the new directory, create an `action.yml` file that references the Dockerfile in the root of the repository.
+3. Add a README with markers to auto update the inputs and outputs from the `action.yml`. See an existing `README.md` for examples.
+4. Create a bash script to run the entrypoint command and add any GitHub Actions specific logic. See `actions/common.sh` for reusable logic.
+5. Add the the bash script to the Dockerfile to ensure it exists in the built image
