+# Setup Weaver Action
+
+Install [OpenTelemetry Weaver](https://github.com/open-telemetry/weaver) CLI in your GitHub Actions workflows.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+  - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+
+  - name: Setup Weaver
+    uses: open-telemetry/weaver/.github/actions/setup-weaver@main  # You can use any git ref: @main, @v0.20.0, or @commit-sha
+    # with:
+    #   version: '0.18.0'  # Optional: pin Weaver CLI version
+
+  - name: Validate semantic conventions
+    run: weaver registry check -r ./model --diagnostic-format gh_workflow_command
+```
+
+For complete workflow examples, see [opentelemetry-weaver-examples](https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-weaver-examples).
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Input | Description | Required | Default |
+|-------|-------------|----------|---------|
+| `version` | Weaver version to install (e.g., `0.18.0`). Omit for latest release. | No | `''` (latest) |
+| `cache` | Enable caching of Weaver binary for faster subsequent runs | No | `'true'` |
+
+## Outputs
+
+| Output | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `version` | Installed Weaver version (e.g., `v0.18.0`) |
+
+## Caching
+
+By default, this action caches the Weaver binary to speed up subsequent runs.
+
+- **Cache key**: `setup-weaver-{os}-{arch}-{version}`
+- **First run**: ~30-60 seconds (download + install)
+- **Cached run**: ~2-5 seconds (restore from cache)
+
+To disable caching:
+```yaml
+- uses: open-telemetry/weaver/.github/actions/setup-weaver@main
+  with:
+    cache: 'false'
+```
+
+## Platform Support
+
+| Platform | Architecture | Status |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| Ubuntu (Linux) | x86_64 | ✅ Supported |
+| macOS | x86_64 (Intel) | ✅ Supported |
+| macOS | aarch64 (Apple Silicon) | ✅ Supported |
+| Windows | x86_64 | ✅ Supported |
+
+The action automatically detects your platform and architecture.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Command not found**: Ensure the setup step completed successfully and you're running commands after the setup step.
+
+**Cache issues**: Temporarily disable caching with `cache: 'false'` or clear cache in repository settings (Actions → Caches).
+
+**Version issues**: Pin to a known working version with `version: '0.18.0'`.
