+
+----------
+
+> This repository holds the public **GitHub profile content** for *Microsoft Cloud Sandbox - Unofficial* and a small **GitHub Actions automation** that refreshes the visitor/view counter badge.
+
+## What this is for
+
+- **Profile hub**: the content in `profile/README.md` is intended to be displayed on the GitHub profile page (when this repository is the special `.github` repo for an organization).
+- **Visitor counter updates**: a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow updates the badge inside the profile README and writes view history to `metrics.json`.
+
+## Repository layout
+
+- `profile/README.md`
+  - The main profile page content (about the Microsoft Cloud hub, disclaimers, and the view counter badge).
+- `.github/workflows/use-visitor-counter.yml`
+  - GitHub Actions workflow that runs on a schedule / manual trigger to update the badge and regenerate `metrics.json`.
+- `metrics.json`
+  - Generated historical view metrics (daily counts + uniques). This file is overwritten by the workflow.
+
+## How to update
+
+### Update the profile text
+
+Edit `profile/README.md`.
+
+### Refresh the visitor counter badge / metrics
+
+- Run the workflow manually from GitHub: **Actions** → **Use Visitor Counter Logic** → **Run workflow**.
+- Or let it run automatically on the configured cron schedule.
+
+## Secrets / permissions
+
+The workflow expects a repository secret named `TRAFFIC_TOKEN` so it can read repository traffic insights.
+
+## Notes
+
+- The workflow uses an external tool repo (`brown9804/github-visitor-counter`) to generate the badge and `metrics.json`.
+- Manual edits to `metrics.json` are not recommended because the workflow will replace it on the next run.
