 # Supabase clients for use in SSR frameworks
 
-This package is useful for using the [Supabase JavaScript library](https://supabase.com/docs/reference/javascript/introduction) in
-server-side rendering frameworks.
+> **Package Consolidation Notice**: This package replaces the deprecated `@supabase/auth-helpers-*` packages. All framework-specific auth-helpers packages have been consolidated into `@supabase/ssr` for better maintenance and consistency.
 
-It provides a framework-agnostic way of creating a Supabase client.
+## Overview
+
+This package provides a framework-agnostic way to use the [Supabase JavaScript library](https://supabase.com/docs/reference/javascript/introduction) in server-side rendering (SSR) frameworks.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm i @supabase/ssr
+```
+
+## Deprecated Packages
+
+The following packages have been deprecated and consolidated into `@supabase/ssr`:
