 # starflow
 
 Starcraft team GHA Workflows
+
+# Reusable Workflows
+
+Some of these automations are provided as [Reusable workflows](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/sharing-automations/reusing-workflows).
+For these workflows, you can embed them in a workflow you run at the `job` level.
+Examples are provided below.
+
+## Python security scanner
+
+The Python security scanner workflow uses several tools (trivy, osv-scanner) to scan a
+Python project for security issues. It does the following:
+
+1. Creates a wheel of the project.
+2. Exports a `uv.lock` file (if present in the project) as two requirements files:
+   a. `requirements.txt` with no extras
+   b. `requirements-all.txt` with all available extras
+
+If there are any existing `requirements*.txt` files in your project, it will scan those
+below too.
+
+With [Trivy](https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy), it:
+
+1. Scans the requirements files
+2. Scans the wheel file(s)
+3. Scans the project directory
+4. Installs each combination of (requirements, wheel) in a virtual environment and scans that environment.
+
+With [OSV-scanner](https://google.github.io/osv-scanner/) it:
+
+1. Scans the requirements files
+2. Scans the project directory
+
+### Usage
+
+An example workflow for your own Python project that will use this workflow:
+
+```yaml
+name: Security scan
+on:
+  pull_request:
+  push:
+    branches:
+      - main
+      - hotfix/*
+
+jobs:
+  python-scans:
+    name: Scan Python project
+    uses: canonical/starflow/.github/workflows/scan-python.yaml@main
+    with:
+      # Additional packages to install on the Ubuntu runners for building
+      packages: python-apt-dev cargo
+      # Additional arguments to `find` when finding requirements files.
+      # This example ignores 'requirements-noble.txt'
+      requirements-find-args: "! -name requirements-noble.txt"
+      # Additional arguments to pass to osv-scanner.
+      # This example adds configuration from your project.
+      osv-extra-args: "--config=source/osv-scanner.toml"
+      # Use the standard extra args and ignore spread tests
+      trivy-extra-args: '--severity HIGH,CRITICAL --ignore-unfixed --skip-dirs "tests/spread/**"'
+```
