+## Background
+
+This template provides the foundation for creating browser-compatible Bedrock modules with:
+
+- ✅ Standard Bedrock web package structure
+- ✅ ESLint configuration with Digital Bazaar standards
+- ✅ GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline
+- ✅ Proper licensing and documentation templates
+- ✅ ESM module configuration
+
+## Security
+
+TBD
+
+## Usage
+
+### 1. Create New Repository
+
+1. Click the **"Use this template"** button above
+2. Choose repository name following pattern: `bedrock-web-{module-name}`
+3. Make it **public**
+4. Create the repository
+
+### 2. Configure Repository Settings
+
+After creation, configure these settings in your new repo:
+
+**Settings → General:**
+
+- Disable "Allow merge commits"
+- Disable "Allow squash merging" 
+- Keep only "Allow rebase merging"
+
+**Settings → Branches:**
+
+- Add protection rule for `main` branch
+- Enable "Require linear history"
+- Enable "Restrict pushes that create files"
+
+### 3. Customize Package Files
+
+**Update `package.json`:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "@bedrock/web-{your-module-name}",
+  "version": "1.0.0-0",
+  "description": "Your module description",
+  "exports": "./lib/index.js"
+}
+```
+
+**Update `README.md`:**
+
+- Replace with your module's documentation
+- Include installation and usage examples
+- Document API and features
+
+**Update `lib/index.js`:**
+
+- Implement your module's main exports
+- Follow ESM module patterns
+
+**Update test files:**
+
+- Replace placeholder tests with your module's tests
+- Update `test/package.json` with correct package reference
+
+### 4. Development Workflow
+
+1. **Install dependencies:**
+
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   ```
+
+2. **Run linting:**
+
+   ```bash
+   npm run lint
+   ```
+
