+# markdownlint action
+
+This action lints your Markdown files with [markdownlint-cli](https://github.com/igorshubovych/markdownlint-cli).
+
+## Usage
+
+Including the action without any defaults will find a local markdownlint config
+file (`.markdownlint.{yaml,yml,json}`) or use our included default and scan all
+files with the `md` or `markdown` extension.
+
+```yaml
+- uses: articulate/actions-markdownlint@main
+```
+
+You can set the config file, the files it scans, or files/directories to ignore.
+
+```yaml
+- uses: articulate/actions-markdownlint@main
+  with:
+    config: markdownlint-config.json
+    files: 'docs/**/*.md'
+    ignore: node_modules
+```
