+# Automated Monthly Release Versioning Workflow
+# ============================================
+
+# Purpose:
+# - Automatically create consistent monthly version tags
+# - Implement a calendar-based versioning strategy
+# - Facilitate easy tracking of monthly releases
+
+# Versioning Strategy:
+# - Tag format: YYYY.MM.0 (e.g., 2024.01.0 for January 2024)
+# - First digit: Full year
+# - Second digit: Month (01-12)
+# - Third digit: Patch version (starts at 0, allows for potential updates)
+
+# Key Features:
+# - Runs automatically on the first day of each month at 3:30 AM UTC
+# - Can be manually triggered via workflow_dispatch
+# - Uses GitHub Actions to generate tags programmatically
+# - Provides a predictable and systematic versioning approach
+
+# Prerequisites:
+# - Repository configured with GitHub Actions
+# - Permissions to create tags
+# - Access to actions/checkout and tag creation actions
+
+# Workflow Triggers:
+# - Scheduled monthly run
+# - Manual workflow dispatch
+# - Callable from other workflows
+
+# Actions Used:
+# 1. actions/checkout@v4 - Checks out repository code
+# 2. josStorer/get-current-time - Retrieves current timestamp
+# 3. rickstaa/action-create-tag - Creates Git tags
+
+# Example Generated Tags:
+# - 2024.01.0 (January 2024 initial release)
+# - 2024.02.0 (February 2024 initial release)
+# - 2024.02.1 (Potential patch for February 2024)
