-# Meshery SMP Action
-This repository is used for storing a GitHub action for performing SMP tests using Meshery
+# Meshery - SMP GitHub Action
 
-## Inputs
-```yaml
-  # token to connect with the remote provider
-  provider_token:
-    description: "Provider token to use. NOTE: value of the 'token' key in auth.json"
-    required: true
+GitHub Action to run SMP Performance Benchmarks on CI/CD pipelines.
+
+[Meshery](https://meshery.io/) is the canonical implementation of the [Service Mesh Performance specification](https://smp-spec.io/).
+
+## Learn More
+
+- [Performance Management in Meshery](https://docs.meshery.io/functionality/performance-management)
+- [Guide: Running Performance Tests in Meshery](https://docs.meshery.io/guides/performance-management)
+- [Supported Service Meshes](https://docs.meshery.io/service-meshes)
+
+## Usage
+
+See [action.yml](action.yml)
 
-  # platform to deploy meshery
-  platform:
-    description: "Platform to deploy meshery on. Possible values: docker, kubernetes"
-    default: docker
+You can use this action by defining your test configuration in a performance profile in Meshery or write your test configurations in SMP compatible format ([see example](#smp-compatible-test-configuration-file)).
 
-  # SUPPLY EITHER "profile_filename" or profile_name
+You can then pass in either of these to the action to run a performance test.
 
-  # name of the file storing the performance profile (keep in .github)
-  profile_filename:
-    description: "Name of the file containing SMP profile"
+The results of the tests are updated on the Performance Management dashboard in Meshery.
 
-  # name of the prformance profile to use
-  profile_name:
-    description: "Name of the performance profile"
+See [Performance Management with Meshery](https://docs.meshery.io/guides/performance-management) for detailed instructions on setting up Meshery and authenticating the GitHub Action.
