+# HOOMD-blue component template
+
+`hoomd-component-template` provides a framework to develop components that extend
+[**HOOMD-blue**](https://glotzerlab.engin.umich.edu/hoomd-blue/). It includes template C++ and
+Python modules, an example unit test, CMake scripts to build the component, and GitHub Actions
+workflows.
+
+## Building the component
+
+To build this component:
+
+1. Build and install **HOOMD-blue** from source.
+2. Obtain the component's source.
+    ```
+    $ git clone https://github.com/glotzerlab/hoomd-component-template
+    ```
+3. Configure.
+    ```
+    $ cmake -B build/hoomd-component-template -S hoomd-component-template
+    ```
+4. Build the component.
+    ```
+    $ cmake --build build/hoomd-component-template
+    ```
+5. Install the component.
+    ```
+    $ cmake --install build/hoomd-component-template
+    ```
+
+Once installed, the template is available for import via:
+```
+import hoomd.template
+```
+
+## Creating a new component
+
+To create a new component:
+
+1. Fork [hoomd-component-template](https://github.com/glotzerlab/hoomd-component-template/).
+2. Address all **TODO** comments (including those in `.github/`)
+3. Add C++ and Python files to `src/`.
+4. Add unit tests in `src/pytest`.
+5. Format and check code style with [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/).
+
+## Using the provided GitHub Actions configuration
+
+When you push your changes to GitHub, the [unit test workflow](.github/workflows/unit-test.yaml)
+compile your code on the CPU (with and without MPI) and on the GPU (with and without MPI). The
+workflow also executes the unit tests on the CPU. You should run GPU unit tests locally, as GitHub
+does not provide free GPU runners for GitHub Actions.
+
+When you push a new tag, the [release workflow](.github/workflows/release.yaml) will create a
+new GitHub release with automatically generated release notes.
+
+## Maintaining your component
+
+The HOOMD-blue developers will periodically update
+[hoomd-component-template](https://github.com/glotzerlab/hoomd-component-template/), including
+updates to the GitHub Actions workflow, pre-commit configuration, and CMake scripts. Merge these
+changes into your fork to support the latest version of HOOMD-blue.
+
+## Documenting and releasing your component
+
+TODO: Document your component in `README.md` (this file) and remove documentation relevant to the
+template.
+
+When appropriate:
+
+* Add [Sphinx](https://www.sphinx-doc.org) documentation and publish it on
+[readthedocs](https://www.readthedocs.org).
+* Add a [conda-forge](https://conda-forge.org/) package.
+* Announce your component on the [HOOMD-blue discussion board](https://github.com/glotzerlab/hoomd-blue/discussions).
