+# Active Step Workflow :package:
+
+A GitHub Action that determines the current step of a GitHub Skills exercise by analyzing enabled workflows in the repository.
+
+This action identifies the current step by finding enabled workflows that match the "Step X" naming pattern and extracts the step number.
+
+## Inputs ⚙️
+
+| Name               | Description                      | Required | Default               |
+| ------------------ | -------------------------------- | -------- | --------------------- |
+| `github-token`     | GitHub token for API access      | No       | `${{ github.token }}` |
+| `workflow-pattern` | Regex pattern for step workflows | No       | `^Step \\d+$`         |
+
+## Outputs 📤
+
+| Name            | Description                                                                          |
+| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `current-step`  | The current step number (string)                                                     |
+| `workflow-name` | Name of the current step workflow file (primary workflow if multiple with same step) |
+
+## Usage 🚀
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+  - name: Get active step workflow
+    id: step-info
+    uses: skills/exercise-toolkit/actions/active-step-workflow@<git-tag>
+
+  - name: Use the step information
+    run: |
+      echo "Currently on step: ${{ steps.step-info.outputs.current-step }}"
+      echo "Workflow name: ${{ steps.step-info.outputs.workflow-name }}"
+```
+
+## Behavior 🔍
+
+- **Detects enabled workflows**: Scans all repository workflows and identifies those in `active` state
+- **Matches step pattern**: Filters workflows by the "Step X" naming pattern (e.g., "Step 0", "Step 3")
+- **Single enabled step**: Returns that step number
+- **Multiple enabled steps with same number**: Returns the shared step number
+- **Multiple enabled steps with different numbers**: Fails with descriptive error listing all enabled steps
+- **No enabled step workflows**: Fails with descriptive error
