+## Publishing and releases
+
+Changes made to this repository via the automated release PR pipeline should publish to npm automatically. If
+the changes aren't made through the automated pipeline, you may want to make releases manually.
+
+### Publish with a GitHub workflow
+
+You can release to package managers by using [the `Publish NPM` GitHub action](https://www.github.com/ZeroEntropy-AI/zeroentropy-node/actions/workflows/publish-npm.yml). This requires a setup organization or repository secret to be set up.
+
+### Publish manually
+
+If you need to manually release a package, you can run the `bin/publish-npm` script with an `NPM_TOKEN` set on
+the environment.
