+# Reusable Workflow for Python Package Release
+
+## Purpose
+
+Automate the release process for Python packages, using the version from
+`pyproject.toml` to create a GitHub release.
+
+## Steps
+
+  1. Checkout the repository code
+  2. Parse the version from `pyproject.toml`
+  3. Create a new version tag
+  4. Push the tag to the repository
+  5. Automatically generate release notes and publish a new GitHub release
+
+## Input
+
+This workflow automatically uses the repository name and parses the version from
+the `pyproject.toml` file. No additional input is required when calling the
+workflow.
