+The Mission Critical Vulnerability Scanner (MCVS) Golang Action repository is a

+## Github Action
+
+The [GitHub Action](https://github.com/features/actions) in this repository
+consists of the following steps:
 
 - Install the Golang version that is defined in the project `go.mod`.
 - Verify to be downloaded Golang modules.

 standards before it will be deployed to production as the assembly line will
 fail if an issue arises.
 
+## Taskfile
+
+Another tool is configuration for [Task](https://taskfile.dev/). This repository
+offers a `Taskfile.yml` which contains standard tasks, like installing and
+running a linter.
+
+This `Taskfile.yml` can then be used by other projects. This has the advantage
+that you do not need to copy and paste Makefile snippets from one project to
+another. As a consequence each project using this `Taskfile.yml` immediately
+benefits from improvements made here (e.g. new tasks or improvements in the
+tasks).
+
+If you are new to Task, you may want to check out the following resources:
+- [Installation instructions](https://taskfile.dev/installation/)
+- Instructions to [configure completions](https://taskfile.dev/installation/#setup-completions)
+- [Integrations](https://taskfile.dev/integrations/) with e.g. Visual Studio Code, Sublime and IntelliJ.

+You can use `task --list-all` to get a list of all available tasks.
