-# @memberjunction/actions
+# @memberjunction/core-actions
 
-The `@memberjunction/core-actions` library contains generated and custom actions that are part of the core MJ framework. Do not modify this library.
+The `@memberjunction/core-actions` library provides a collection of pre-built actions that are essential to the MemberJunction framework. These actions handle common operations like sending messages, detecting external changes, and vectorizing entities for AI processing.
 
-# IMPORTANT
-This library should only be imported on the server side. 
+## Overview
+
+This package contains both custom-built and generated actions that extend the MemberJunction Actions framework. It provides ready-to-use implementations for core functionality that many MemberJunction applications require.
+
+## Important Note
+
+**This library should only be imported on the server side.** It contains server-specific dependencies and functionality that are not suitable for client-side applications.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @memberjunction/core-actions
+```
+
+## Available Actions
+
+### 1. Send Single Message Action
+
+Provides a simple wrapper around the MemberJunction Communication Framework to send single messages through various communication providers.
+
+**Class:** `SendSingleMessageAction`  
+**Registration Name:** `"Send Single Message"`
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `Subject` (string): The subject of the message
+- `Body` (string): The body content of the message
+- `To` (string): The recipient's address
+- `From` (string): The sender's address
+- `Provider` (string): The name of the Communication Provider to use
+- `MessageType` (string): The name of the Message Type within the provider
+
+**Example Usage:**
+
+```typescript
+import { SendSingleMessageAction } from '@memberjunction/core-actions';
+import { ActionEngine } from '@memberjunction/actions';
+
+// Execute the action through the Action Engine
+const result = await ActionEngine.RunAction({
+    ActionName: 'Send Single Message',
+    Params: [
+        { Name: 'Subject', Value: 'Welcome to MemberJunction' },
+        { Name: 'Body', Value: 'Thank you for joining our platform!' },
+        { Name: 'To', Value: 'user@example.com' },
+        { Name: 'From', Value: 'noreply@memberjunction.com' },
+        { Name: 'Provider', Value: 'SendGrid' },
+        { Name: 'MessageType', Value: 'Email' }
+    ],
+    ContextUser: currentUser
+});
+
+if (result.Success) {
+    console.log('Message sent successfully');
+} else {
+    console.error('Failed to send message:', result.Message);
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Vectorize Entity Action
+
+Enables vectorization of entity data for AI and machine learning operations. This action integrates with MemberJunction's AI vector synchronization system to create vector embeddings of entity records.
+
+**Class:** `VectorizeEntityAction`  
+**Registration Name:** `"Vectorize Entity"`
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `EntityNames` (string | string[]): Entity name(s) to vectorize. Can be:
+  - A single entity name as a string
+  - Multiple entity names as a comma-separated string
+  - An array of entity names
+
+**Example Usage:**
+
+```typescript
+import { VectorizeEntityAction } from '@memberjunction/core-actions';
+import { ActionEngine } from '@memberjunction/actions';
+
+// Vectorize a single entity
+const singleResult = await ActionEngine.RunAction({
+    ActionName: 'Vectorize Entity',
+    Params: [
+        { Name: 'EntityNames', Value: 'Customers' }
+    ],
+    ContextUser: currentUser
+});
+
+// Vectorize multiple entities
+const multiResult = await ActionEngine.RunAction({
+    ActionName: 'Vectorize Entity',
+    Params: [
+        { Name: 'EntityNames', Value: 'Customers,Products,Orders' }
+    ],
+    ContextUser: currentUser
+});
+
+// Or using an array
+const arrayResult = await ActionEngine.RunAction({
+    ActionName: 'Vectorize Entity',
+    Params: [
+        { Name: 'EntityNames', Value: ['Customers', 'Products', 'Orders'] }
+    ],
+    ContextUser: currentUser
+});
+```
+
+### 3. External Change Detection Action
+
+Detects and replays changes from external systems that have modified data outside of the MemberJunction framework. This is crucial for maintaining data consistency when external systems directly modify the database.
+
+**Class:** `ExternalChangeDetectionAction`  
+**Registration Name:** `"Run External Change Detection"`
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `EntityList` (string, optional): Comma-separated list of entity names to check for changes. If not provided, all eligible entities will be processed.
+
+**Example Usage:**
+
+```typescript
+import { ExternalChangeDetectionAction } from '@memberjunction/core-actions';
+import { ActionEngine } from '@memberjunction/actions';
+
+// Check specific entities for changes
+const specificResult = await ActionEngine.RunAction({
+    ActionName: 'Run External Change Detection',
+    Params: [
+        { Name: 'EntityList', Value: 'Customers,Orders,Invoices' }
+    ],
+    ContextUser: currentUser
+});
+
+// Check all eligible entities
+const allResult = await ActionEngine.RunAction({
+    ActionName: 'Run External Change Detection',
+    Params: [],
+    ContextUser: currentUser
+});
+
+if (specificResult.Success) {
+    console.log('External changes detected and replayed successfully');
+} else {
+    console.error('Change detection failed:', specificResult.Message);
+}
+```
+
+## Integration with MemberJunction Actions Framework
+
+All actions in this package extend the `BaseAction` class from `@memberjunction/actions` and are automatically registered with the MemberJunction class factory system using the `@RegisterClass` decorator.
+
+To use these actions, you typically interact with them through the `ActionEngine` rather than instantiating them directly:
+
+```typescript
+import { ActionEngine } from '@memberjunction/actions';
+
+// The actions are automatically registered when the module is loaded
+const result = await ActionEngine.RunAction({
+    ActionName: 'Action Name Here',
+    Params: [...],
+    ContextUser: user
+});
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+This package depends on several core MemberJunction packages:
+
+- `@memberjunction/global` - Global utilities and class registration
+- `@memberjunction/core` - Core MemberJunction functionality
+- `@memberjunction/core-entities` - Entity definitions
+- `@memberjunction/actions` - Base action framework
+- `@memberjunction/communication-engine` - Communication framework
+- `@memberjunction/external-change-detection` - Change detection engine
+- `@memberjunction/ai-vector-sync` - AI vectorization functionality
+- `@memberjunction/content-autotagging` - Content tagging capabilities
+
+## Building and Development
+
+To build this package:
+
+```bash
+# From the package directory
+npm run build
+
+# Or from the repository root using Turbo
+turbo build --filter="@memberjunction/core-actions"
+```
+
+The package uses TypeScript and compiles to JavaScript with type definitions included.
+
+## Result Handling
+
+All actions return an `ActionResultSimple` object with the following structure:
+
+```typescript
+interface ActionResultSimple {
+    Success: boolean;      // Whether the action completed successfully
+    Message?: string;      // Error message or additional information
+    ResultCode: string;    // Either "SUCCESS" or "FAILED"
+}
+```
+
+Always check the `Success` property before proceeding with dependent operations.
+
+## Server-Side Only
+
+This package contains server-side dependencies and should never be imported in client-side code. It relies on:
+- Database connections
+- File system access
+- Server-side API integrations
+- Heavy computational processes
+
+For client-side action needs, refer to client-safe action packages in the MemberJunction ecosystem.
