+# Workflows
+
+`glotzerlab/workflows` houses reusable GitHub actions and workflows that are in common
+use across glotzerlab software packages.
+
+## setup-uv
+
+`setup-uv` installs [uv] and *optionally* installs all the packages in a given
+`lockfile`.
+
+To generate a lockfile, run:
+```bash
+uv pip compile --python-version 3.12 --python-platform linux requirements.in > requirements.txt
+```
+and add both `requirements.in` and `requirements.txt` to the git repository.
+
+In your action workflow, create a Python environment and then call setup-uv:
+```yaml
+steps:
+- name: Checkout
+  uses: actions/checkout@a5ac7e51b41094c92402da3b24376905380afc29 # v4.1.6
+- name: Set up Python
+  uses: actions/setup-python@82c7e631bb3cdc910f68e0081d67478d79c6982d # v5.1.0
+  with:
+    python-version: "3.12"
+- name: Set up Python environment
+  uses: glotzerlab/workflows/setup-python@<insert hash of tagged version here> # v0.1.0
+  with:
+    lockfile: "requirements.txt"
+```
