+# Installer XML change reminder
+
+When an individual installer changes, the shared installer may need an update.
+
+After `reusable_installer_xml_check.yml` is merged, add
+`.github/workflows/installer_xml_check.yml` to each repository that needs the
+check:
+
+```yaml
+name: Installer XML changes
+
+on:
+  pull_request:
+
+permissions:
+  contents: read
+
+jobs:
+  check:
+    uses: aws-deadline/.github/.github/workflows/reusable_installer_xml_check.yml@mainline
+```
+
+The check fails when XML files under `installer/` or `install_builder/` change.
+Review the files listed in the log, check whether the shared installer needs an
+update, and confirm any follow-up in the PR discussion.
+
+Keep private details and links out of public PR discussions.
