+# Notify Slack on Failure Action
+
+This GitHub Action sends a Slack notification summarizing failed jobs in a workflow run when used with an `if: failure()` condition.
+
+## Description
+
+The action posts a concise message to a Slack channel containing:
+1. A link to the failed GitHub Actions run
+2. A list of failed jobs provided by the workflow
+3. A custom project-branded username and icon
+
+It is intended to be used as the last step (or in a dedicated job) guarded by `if: failure()` so that it only triggers on failures.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+This action depends on:
+- [SonarSource/vault-action-wrapper](https://github.com/SonarSource/vault-action-wrapper) to retrieve the Slack token from Vault
+- [rtCamp/action-slack-notify](https://github.com/rtCamp/action-slack-notify) to send the Slack message
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Input           | Description                                                            | Required | Default   |
+|-----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------|-----------|
+| `project-name`  | The display name of the project; used in the Slack username.           | Yes      | -         |
+| `icon`          | Emoji icon for the Slack message (Slack emoji code).                   | No       | `:alert:` |
+| `slack-channel` | Slack channel (without `#`) to post the notification into.             | Yes      | -         |
+| `jobs`          | Comma-separated list of job names to report as failed (provided by you). | Yes    | -         |
+
+Note: The list of failed jobs must be provided via the `jobs` input by your workflow logic.
+
+## Outputs
+
+No outputs are produced by this action.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic usage (in a dedicated failure notification job)
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  notify_on_failure:
+    needs: [ build, test, deploy ]  # Example job dependencies
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    if: failure()
+    permissions:
+      statuses: read
+      id-token: write
+    steps:
+      - uses: SonarSource/release-github-actions/notify-slack@v1
+        with:
+          project-name: 'My Project'
+          slack-channel: 'engineering-alerts'
+          jobs: ${{ toJSON(needs) }}
+```
+
+### Minimal usage (only required inputs)
+
+```yaml
+- uses: SonarSource/release-github-actions/notify-slack@v1
+  if: failure()
+  with:
+    project-name: 'My Project'
+    slack-channel: 'engineering-alerts'
+    jobs: 'build, test'
+```
+
+### Custom icon
+
+```yaml
+- uses: SonarSource/release-github-actions/notify-slack@v1
+  if: failure()
+  with:
+    project-name: 'My Project'
+    slack-channel: 'engineering-alerts'
+    icon: ':rocket:'
+    jobs: 'build, test'
+```
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+The action is a composite action that:
+- Fetches `SLACK_TOKEN` from Vault path `development/kv/data/slack` using `vault-action-wrapper`
+- Uses a workflow-provided `jobs` input (comma-separated string) to populate the "Failed Jobs" section
+- Constructs a Slack message with run URL and the provided failed jobs list
+- Uses `rtCamp/action-slack-notify` to send a minimal styled message (no title/footer) with danger color
+- Sets Slack username to: `<project-name> CI Notifier`
+- If the `jobs` list is empty or not provided, the "Failed Jobs" line will be blank
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Vault policy granting access to `development/kv/data/slack` must be configured for the repository.
+- The secret at that path must contain a key named `token`.
+- The Slack channel provided must exist and the token must have permission to post there.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Use `if: failure()` on the step or job; otherwise it will also fire on success.
+- `project-name`, `slack-channel`, and `jobs` are required inputs (no defaults).
+- Do not prefix the channel with `#`.
+- Message formatting is intentionally minimal for quick triage in alert-focused channels.
+- How you compute the failed jobs list is up to your workflow; you can use prior steps to gather job results and pass them to this action via `jobs`.
