+# Execute Workflow Action
+
+A GitHub Action for triggering workflows via `workflow_dispatch`, waiting for them to complete, and reporting their results.
+
+- Triggers workflows using the `workflow_dispatch` event
+- Waits for the workflow run to start (up to 60 seconds)
+- Polls the workflow run status until completion
+- Outputs the workflow run ID and conclusion
+- Fails the action if the triggered workflow doesn't succeed
+
+## Usage
+
+```yaml
+- name: Execute workflow
+  uses: ./execute-workflow
+  with:
+      workflow: my-workflow.yaml
+      inputs: '{ "key": "value" }'
+```
+
+## Inputs
+
+- `workflow` (required): Workflow filename relative to `.github/workflows` (e.g., `my-workflow.yaml`)
+- `inputs` (optional): Inputs to pass to the workflow as a JSON string
+- `token` (optional): GitHub token for authentication (defaults to `${{ github.token }}`)
+
+## Outputs
+
+- `workflowRunId`: The ID of the triggered workflow run
+- `conclusion`: The conclusion of the workflow run (`success`, `failure`, `cancelled`, etc.)
