+# Package Rust Crate
+
+Composite action to package a Rust crate for publishing to crates.io. Supports both workspace and standalone crates.
+
+## Features
+
+- ✅ **Workspace Support**: Handles workspace crates with `version.workspace = true`
+- ✅ **Standalone Support**: Works with single-crate projects
+- ✅ **Allow Dirty**: Optional flag to package with uncommitted changes
+- ✅ **Flexible Arguments**: Pass additional cargo arguments
+- ✅ **Verification Output**: Lists packaged `.crate` files after successful packaging
+
+## Usage
+
+### Workspace Crate
+
+For crates that use workspace version inheritance (`version.workspace = true`):
+
+```yaml
+- name: Package workspace crate
+  uses: firestoned/github-actions/rust/package-crate@v1.2.4
+  with:
+    package: my-crate-name
+    workspace: true
+    allow-dirty: true
+```
+
+### Standalone Crate
+
+For standalone crates (single Cargo.toml):
+
+```yaml
+- name: Package crate
+  uses: firestoned/github-actions/rust/package-crate@v1.2.4
+  with:
+    allow-dirty: false
+```
+
+### With Additional Arguments
+
+```yaml
+- name: Package crate with features
+  uses: firestoned/github-actions/rust/package-crate@v1.2.4
+  with:
+    package: my-crate
+    workspace: true
+    cargo-args: '--no-verify'
+```
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Input | Description | Required | Default |
+|-------|-------------|----------|---------|
+| `package` | Package name to package (for workspace crates) | No | `''` |
+| `workspace` | Whether this is a workspace crate (uses --package flag) | No | `false` |
+| `allow-dirty` | Allow packaging with uncommitted changes | No | `true` |
+| `cargo-args` | Additional arguments to pass to cargo package | No | `''` |
+
+## Outputs
+
+This action produces a `.crate` file in `target/package/` directory.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Rust toolchain must be installed (use `firestoned/github-actions/rust/setup-rust-build`)
+- For workspace crates, must be run from workspace root
+
+## Example: Complete Release Workflow
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  package-crates:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    strategy:
+      matrix:
+        crate:
+          - name: my-derive-crate
+          - name: my-runtime-crate
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+
+      - name: Setup Rust
+        uses: firestoned/github-actions/rust/setup-rust-build@v1.2.4
+        with:
+          target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
+
+      - name: Update workspace version
+        run: |
+          sed -i 's/^version = ".*"/version = "1.0.0"/' Cargo.toml
+
+      - name: Package crate
+        uses: firestoned/github-actions/rust/package-crate@v1.2.4
+        with:
+          package: ${{ matrix.crate.name }}
+          workspace: true
+
+      - name: Upload package
+        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
+        with:
+          name: ${{ matrix.crate.name }}-package
+          path: target/package/${{ matrix.crate.name }}-*.crate
+```
+
+## Why Use This Action?
+
+### Problem: Workspace Version Management
+
+When using workspace version inheritance:
+
+```toml
+# Cargo.toml (workspace root)
+[workspace.package]
+version = "1.0.0"
+
+# my-crate/Cargo.toml
+[package]
+version.workspace = true
+```
+
+Running `cd my-crate && cargo package` fails because the workspace version is not accessible from the crate directory.
+
+### Solution: Package from Workspace Root
+
+This action runs `cargo package --package <name>` from the workspace root, allowing cargo to properly resolve workspace-inherited fields.
+
+## Notes
+
+- The action uses `--allow-dirty` by default since CI often modifies `Cargo.toml` to update versions
+- For workspace crates, `workspace: true` and `package: <name>` must both be specified
+- The packaged `.crate` file is placed in `target/package/`

+# Publish Rust Crate
+
+Composite action to publish a Rust crate to crates.io. Supports both workspace and standalone crates.
+
+## Features
+
+- ✅ **Workspace Support**: Handles workspace crates with `version.workspace = true`
+- ✅ **Standalone Support**: Works with single-crate projects
+- ✅ **Secure Token Handling**: Token hidden in logs
+- ✅ **Allow Dirty**: Optional flag to publish with uncommitted changes
+- ✅ **Dry Run**: Test publishing without actually uploading
+- ✅ **Flexible Arguments**: Pass additional cargo arguments
+
+## Usage
+
+### Workspace Crate
+
+For crates that use workspace version inheritance (`version.workspace = true`):
+
+```yaml
+- name: Publish workspace crate
+  uses: firestoned/github-actions/rust/publish-crate@v1.2.4
+  with:
+    package: my-crate-name
+    workspace: true
+    token: ${{ secrets.CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN }}
+```
+
+### Standalone Crate
+
+For standalone crates (single Cargo.toml):
+
+```yaml
+- name: Publish crate
+  uses: firestoned/github-actions/rust/publish-crate@v1.2.4
+  with:
+    token: ${{ secrets.CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN }}
+    allow-dirty: false
+```
+
+### Dry Run
+
+Test publishing without actually uploading to crates.io:
+
+```yaml
+- name: Test publish (dry run)
+  uses: firestoned/github-actions/rust/publish-crate@v1.2.4
+  with:
+    package: my-crate
+    workspace: true
+    token: ${{ secrets.CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN }}
+    dry-run: true
+```
+
+### With Additional Arguments
+
+```yaml
+- name: Publish with custom registry
+  uses: firestoned/github-actions/rust/publish-crate@v1.2.4
+  with:
+    package: my-crate
+    workspace: true
+    token: ${{ secrets.CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN }}
+    cargo-args: '--registry my-registry'
+```
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Input | Description | Required | Default |
+|-------|-------------|----------|---------|
+| `package` | Package name to publish (for workspace crates) | No | `''` |
+| `workspace` | Whether this is a workspace crate (uses --package flag) | No | `false` |
+| `token` | crates.io API token (from secrets.CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN) | **Yes** | - |
+| `allow-dirty` | Allow publishing with uncommitted changes | No | `true` |
+| `dry-run` | Perform a dry run without actually publishing | No | `false` |
+| `cargo-args` | Additional arguments to pass to cargo publish | No | `''` |
+
+## Outputs
+
+None. The crate is published directly to crates.io.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Rust toolchain must be installed (use `firestoned/github-actions/rust/setup-rust-build`)
+- For workspace crates, must be run from workspace root
+- Valid crates.io API token stored in repository secrets
+
+## Example: Complete Release Workflow
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  publish-crates:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    needs: sign-artifacts
+    strategy:
+      max-parallel: 1  # Publish sequentially for dependencies
+      matrix:
+        crate:
+          - name: my-derive-crate  # Publish derive crate first
+          - name: my-runtime-crate # Then publish crate that depends on it
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+
+      - name: Setup Rust
+        uses: firestoned/github-actions/rust/setup-rust-build@v1.2.4
+        with:
+          target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
+
+      - name: Update workspace version
+        run: |
+          sed -i 's/^version = ".*"/version = "1.0.0"/' Cargo.toml
+
+      - name: Publish to crates.io
+        uses: firestoned/github-actions/rust/publish-crate@v1.2.4
+        with:
+          package: ${{ matrix.crate.name }}
+          workspace: true
+          token: ${{ secrets.CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN }}
+
+      - name: Wait for crate propagation
+        if: matrix.crate.name == 'my-derive-crate'
+        run: |
+          echo "Waiting 60 seconds for crate to be indexed..."
+          sleep 60
+```
+
+## Why Use This Action?
+
+### Problem: Workspace Version Management
+
+When using workspace version inheritance:
+
+```toml
+# Cargo.toml (workspace root)
+[workspace.package]
+version = "1.0.0"
+
+# my-crate/Cargo.toml
+[package]
+version.workspace = true
+```
+
+Running `cd my-crate && cargo publish` fails because the workspace version is not accessible from the crate directory.
+
+### Solution: Publish from Workspace Root
+
+This action runs `cargo publish --package <name>` from the workspace root, allowing cargo to properly resolve workspace-inherited fields.
+
+## Security
+
+- The `token` input is masked in GitHub Actions logs
+- The action displays `[token hidden]` in the log output instead of the actual token
+- Store your crates.io token in repository secrets as `CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN`
+
+## Publishing Order
+
+For workspace crates with dependencies:
+1. Use `max-parallel: 1` in your matrix strategy
+2. Publish dependencies first (e.g., derive macros)
+3. Add a wait step after dependency crates to allow crates.io indexing
+4. Then publish dependent crates
+
+## Notes
+
+- The action uses `--allow-dirty` by default since CI often modifies `Cargo.toml` to update versions
+- For workspace crates, `workspace: true` and `package: <name>` must both be specified
+- Use `dry-run: true` to test the publishing process without uploading
