 # releng-reusable-workflows
 
-Reusuable workflows developed by LF Release Engineering
+GitHub actions/workflows developed by the Linux Foundation Release Engineering
+team.
+
+## Naming Conventions
+
+### File and Directory Names
+
+## Location, Naming and Labelling of Actions
+
+You can find actions in folders under the directory:
+
+    .github/actions/
+
+These can be of three basic types, as described in the [GitHub documentation]
+(<https://docs.github.com/en/actions/sharing-automations/creating-actions/about-custom-actions>)
+
+The table below describes the labelling and locations:
+
+| Description | Directory Suffix |
+| ----------- | ---------------- |
+| Composite   | -action          |
+| Javascript  | -javascript      |
+| Docker      | -docker          |
+
+Documentation takes the form of a README.md or README.rst file hosted alongside
+the YAML file in one of the directory locations described above.
+
+## Naming of Workflow YAML files
+
+The GitHub actions and workflows in this repository conform to the
+following naming conventions:
+
+| Filename Prefix | Functional Description                        |
+| --------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
+| call-           | Top-level parent workflows that call others   |
+| reuse-          | Reusable workflows implementing workflow_call |
+
+## Name/Labelling within Workflows
+
+Labelling must avoid consuming excessive space in the web/portal sidebar.
+With this in mind, some standard abbreviations help minimise text overflow.
+
+### Workflow Naming Prefixes
+
+The table below lists prefixes that applied, inside square brackets, to
+top-level workflow names.
+
+| Prefix Letter | Function     | Description           |
+| ------------- | ------------ | --------------------- |
+| M             | Manual       | on: workflow_dispatch |
+| R             | Reusable     | on: workflow_call     |
+| V             | Verification | Verification/Checks   |
+
+The above prefixes can combine into composites, but when doing so, preserve
+alphabetic ordering for consistency/readability.
+
+e.g.
+name: "[MV] Check Action SHA Pinning"
+
+### Gerrit Workflows
+
+Gerrit 'calling' workflows may have different trigger event types. Those
+embedded behaviours mean a naming prefix helps distinguish the different
+types.
+
+They fall into three specific types:
+
+| Workflow Prefix | Description      | Filename in Repository |
+| --------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------- |
+| [GV]            | Gerrit (Verify)  | gerrit-verify.yaml     |
+| [GM]            | Gerrit (Merge)   | gerrit-merge.yaml      |
+| [G]             | Gerrit (Generic) | [either of the above]  |
