+# Repository description and topics
+
+`repository-metadata.json` records the description and topics requested in
+[issue 6](https://github.com/Foundation-0/overdue-data/issues/6). These are
+GitHub settings, so a file commit alone does not apply them.
+
+Read the live values from the repository root with:
+
+```sh
+gh api repos/Foundation-0/overdue-data --jq '{description, topics}'
+```
+
+The description and topic set must match the JSON file. Topic order does not
+matter. Changes to these values belong in a reviewed pull request and in the
+repository settings in the same work session.
