 ## What Was Built
 
-A GitHub Action that automatically detects and runs Python testing frameworks with support for:
+A GitHub Action that runs Python tests using pytest with support for:
 
 - **pytest** - The most popular Python testing framework
-- **unittest** - Python's built-in testing framework
-- **nose2** - Enhanced unittest with plugins
-- **behave** - BDD/Cucumber-style testing for Python
-- **tox** - Testing across multiple Python environments
-- **doctest** - Tests embedded in docstrings
 
 ## Core Features
 
-### 1. Automatic Framework Detection
+### 1. pytest Testing
 
-The action intelligently detects testing frameworks by examining:
+The action:
+- Installs pytest automatically
+- Installs additional requirements from a requirements file (optional)
+- Runs pytest with configurable options
+- Reports results in GitHub Actions summary
 
-- **Configuration files**: `pytest.ini`, `tox.ini`, `.noserc`, `nose.cfg`, `setup.cfg`, `pyproject.toml`
-- **Directory structure**: `features/` directory for behave
-- **Import statements**: `import pytest`, `import unittest` in test files
-- **Code patterns**: `>>>` for doctest examples
+### 2. Badge Generation
 
-### 2. Framework Execution
-
-Once detected, each framework is:
-- Automatically installed with pip
-- Run with configurable options
-- Results captured and reported in GitHub Actions summary
-
-### 3. Badge Generation
-
-SVG badges are generated for each detected framework showing:
-- Framework name
-- Status (passing/failing)
+SVG badges can be generated showing:
+- pytest status (passing/failing)
 - Color-coded results (green for passing, red for failing)
-
-### 4. README Integration
-
-Automatic README updates with:
-- Badge insertion after the main title
-- Marker comments for easy updates
-- Support for both relative paths and GitHub URLs
+- Badges are committed to the repository (optional)

 ## Implementation Details
 
 ### Action Workflow
 
 1. **Setup Python** - Uses `actions/setup-python@v5` to set up Python environment
-2. **Detect Frameworks** - Scans repository for testing framework indicators
-3. **Install Tools** - Installs detected frameworks and dependencies
-4. **Install Requirements** - Optionally installs from requirements file
-5. **Run Tests** - Executes each detected framework with appropriate options
-6. **Report Results** - Outputs results to GitHub Actions summary
-7. **Generate Badges** - Creates SVG badges for test status (optional)
-8. **Update README** - Inserts badges into README.md (optional)
-9. **Commit Changes** - Pushes badges and README updates (optional)

-### Detection Logic
-
-#### pytest Detection
-```bash
-pytest.ini exists OR
-pyproject.toml exists OR
-setup.cfg exists OR
-"import pytest" found in code
-```
-
-#### unittest Detection
-```bash
-"import unittest" found in test files
-```
-
-#### nose2 Detection
-```bash
-.noserc exists OR
-nose.cfg exists OR
-[nosetests] section in setup.cfg
-```
-
-#### behave Detection
-```bash
-features/ directory exists AND
-.feature files present
-```
-
-#### tox Detection
-```bash
-tox.ini exists
-```
-
-#### doctest Detection
-```bash
-">>>" patterns found in Python files
-```

 ### Security Considerations
 
-- All example workflows include explicit permission declarations

-- Script handles missing files gracefully
