+## Speculative Runs in GitHub Actions
+
+This project includes a CLI to trigger speculative runs via GitHub Actions, similar to how Terraform Cloud works.
+
+### Install
+
+To install the binary on your system, download the binary from the latest release and make it executable:
+
+```sh
+curl -L "https://github.com/ffddorf/terraform-backend/releases/download/v0.2.0-pre.5/tf-preview-gh_$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')-$(uname -m)" > /usr/local/bin/tf-preview-gh
+chmod +x /usr/local/bin/tf-preview-gh
+```
+
+### Usage
+
+Run the CLI in the directory for which you want to run a remote plan.
+
+The tool will pick its context from the environment:
+
+- Address of the Terraform Backend from your backend config
+- Repository to use from the git remote called `origin`
+
+```
