 This action makes it easy to quickly write a script in your workflow that
 uses the GitHub API and the workflow run context.
 
+### Note
+
+Thank you for your interest in this GitHub action, however, right now we are not taking contributions. 
+
+We continue to focus our resources on strategic areas that help our customers be successful while making developers' lives easier. While GitHub Actions remains a key part of this vision, we are allocating resources towards other areas of Actions and are not taking contributions to this repository at this time. The GitHub public roadmap is the best place to follow along for any updates on features we’re working on and what stage they’re in.
+
+We are taking the following steps to better direct requests related to GitHub Actions, including:
+
+1. We will be directing questions and support requests to our [Community Discussions area](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/categories/actions)
+
+2. High Priority bugs can be reported through Community Discussions or you can report these to our support team https://support.github.com/contact/bug-report.
+
+3. Security Issues should be handled as per our [security.md](security.md)
+
+We will still provide security updates for this project and fix major breaking changes during this time.
+
+You are welcome to still raise bugs in this repo.

 See [development.md](/docs/development.md).
 
+## Passing inputs to the script
+
+Actions expressions are evaluated before the `script` is passed to the action, so the result of any expressions
+*will be evaluated as JavaScript code*.
+
+It's highly recommended to *not* evaluate expressions directly in the `script` to avoid
+[script injections](https://docs.github.com/actions/security-for-github-actions/security-guides/security-hardening-for-github-actions#understanding-the-risk-of-script-injections)
+and potential `SyntaxError`s when the expression is not valid JavaScript code (particularly when it comes to improperly escaped strings).
+
+To pass inputs, set `env` vars on the action step and reference them in your script with `process.env`:
+
+```yaml
+- uses: actions/github-script@v8
+  env:
+    TITLE: ${{ github.event.pull_request.title }}
+  with:
+    script: |
+      const title = process.env.TITLE;
+      if (title.startsWith('octocat')) {
+        console.log("PR title starts with 'octocat'");
+      } else {
+        console.error("PR title did not start with 'octocat'");
+      }
+```
+
 ## Reading step results
 
 The return value of the script will be in the step's outputs under the
 "result" key.

+### Using exec package

+The provided [@actions/exec](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/exec) package allows to execute command or tools in a cross platform way:
+
+```yaml
+on: push
+
+jobs:
+  use-exec:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:

+
+            console.log(exitCode)
+```
+
+`exec` packages provides `getExecOutput` function to retrieve stdout and stderr from executed command:
