<issue_title>Review GitHub Action template repos for inspiration and missing features</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Task

Review the following GitHub Action template repositories and identify useful features, best practices, or workflows to integrate into this repo:

For each repository:

  • Explore their action.yml files (see both are nearly identical, supporting core action metadata, inputs, and outputs)
  • Compare their project structure, usage of JavaScript vs TypeScript, and common workflow integrations
  • Identify additional documentation, configuration, or examples that this repo might be missing
  • Note any CI/CD, testing, or publishing workflows present there but missing here

Deliverables:

  • List functionality, docs, or workflows present in those repos but missing in this repo
  • Create new issues for each discrete missing feature or recommended improvement found

Note: Both source repos apparently share a similar action.yml structure, including description, inputs, outputs, and main script workflow.
