+# `automator`
+
+CLI tool that automates Fornjot development tasks (mostly release automation).
+
+## Usage
+
+Install `automator`, so you can use it in other repositories (most relevantly, the [website repository](https://github.com/hannobraun/www.fornjot.app)):
+
+``` sh
+cargo install --path tools/automator/
+```
+
+To learn how to use it, run the following command:
+
+``` sh
+automator --help
+```
+
+Please also refer to the [release procedure](../../RELEASES.md), which is the main use case for `automator`, as of this writing.
