 GitHub picks up `CONTRIBUTING.md` automatically for repositories without their own copy. Workflows are
 not inherited: copy `human-commit-ownership.yml` into a repository to enable the check there.
 
+## Starter workflows for Scala projects
+
+`workflow-templates/` adds **Scala CI** and **Scala Release** to the "New workflow" picker for any
+repository in the organization with a `build.sbt`. Both are thin callers of the shared workflows in
+[scala-github-actions](https://github.com/evolution-gaming/scala-github-actions), which is where the
+inputs and behaviour are documented.
+
+These are offered, not enforced — a new repository can still skip them. To guarantee CI on every
+repository, add the shared workflow to an organization ruleset the way the AI Policy Check does.
+
 ## Enabling the AI Policy Check
 
 1. Copy `.github/workflows/human-commit-ownership.yml` into the target repository.
