+## Overview
+
+Automation makes our development more efficient as the machine automatically run the pre-defined tasks for the contributors.
+This saves a lot of manual work and allow the developer to fully focus on the features and bug fixes.
+In Colossal-AI, we use [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) to automate a wide range of workflows to ensure the robustness of the software.
+In the section below, we will dive into the details of different workflows available.
+
+## Workflows
+
+### Checks on Pull Requests
+
+| Workflow Name               | File name                      | Description                                                                                                                                       |
+| --------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `Build`                     | `build.yml`                    | This workflow is triggered when the label `Run build and Test` is assigned to a PR. It will run all the unit tests in the repository with 4 GPUs. |
+| `Pre-commit`                | `pre_commit.yml`               | This workflow runs pre-commit checks for code style consistency.                                                                                  |
+| `Report pre-commit failure` | `report_precommit_failure.yml` | This PR will put up a comment in the PR to explain the precommit failure and remedy. This is executed when `Pre-commit` is done                   |
+| `Report test coverage`      | `report_test_coverage.yml`     | This PR will put up a comment to report the test coverage results. This is executed when `Build` is completed.                                    |
+| `Test example`              | `auto_example_check.yml`       | The example will be automatically tested if its files are changed in the PR                                                                       |

+| ----------------------- | ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `Test example`          | `auto_example_check.yml` | This workflow will test all examples every Sunday                                                                      |
+| `Build on 8 GPUs`       | `build_gpu_8.yml`        | This workflow will run the unit tests everyday with 8 GPUs.                                                            |
+| `Synchronize submodule` | `submodule.yml`          | This workflow will check if any git submodule is updated. If so, it will create a PR to update the submodule pointers. |
+| `Close inactive issues` | `close_inactive.yml`     | This workflow will close issues which are stale for 14 days.                                                           |

+
+#### Release bdist wheel
+
+Parameters:
+- `torch version`:torch version to test against, multiple versions are supported but must be separated by comma. The default is value is all, which will test all available torch versions listed in this [repository](https://github.com/hpcaitech/public_assets/tree/main/colossalai/torch_build/torch_wheels) which is regularly updated.
+- `cuda version`: cuda versions to test against, multiple versions are supported but must be separated by comma. The CUDA versions must be present in our [DockerHub repository](https://hub.docker.com/r/hpcaitech/cuda-conda).
+- `ref`: input the branch or tag name to build the wheel for this ref.
+
+#### Dispatch Example Test
+
+parameters:
+- `example_directory`: the example directory to test. Multiple directories are supported and must be separated by comma. For example, language/gpt, images/vit. Simply input language or simply gpt does not work.
+
+
+#### Compatibility Test
+
+Parameters:
+- `torch version`:torch version to test against, multiple versions are supported but must be separated by comma. The default is value is all, which will test all available torch versions listed in this [repository](https://github.com/hpcaitech/public_assets/tree/main/colossalai/torch_build/torch_wheels).
+- `cuda version`: cuda versions to test against, multiple versions are supported but must be separated by comma. The CUDA versions must be present in our [DockerHub repository](https://hub.docker.com/r/hpcaitech/cuda-conda).
+
+> It only test the compatiblity of the main branch
+
+
+### User Friendliness
