The extra instructions might be split between org-roam and org-roam-bibtex to keep the latter README more manageable. However, I think it is much more useful to have all these instructions in one place.

Included installation and configuration instructions for org-roam + org-roam-bibtex for a vanilla spacemacs install.
Comment thread README.md

Most probably you already have a private `org-roam` layer, if not, see examples
From version 0.300.0, Spacemacs offers support for `org-roam`. This means private layers are no longer necessary.
If you have already configured `org-ref`, you can follow this [blog post](https://philipperambert.com/Installing-Org-Roam-Bibtex-In-Spacemacs).

I'm not sure we need instructions for Org Roam in ORB's README. A link would be enough.

:hook (org-roam-mode . org-roam-bibtex-mode))
```
Configure `org-ref` to use your custom `.bib` file.

The same applies to bibtex-completion.

Comment thread README.md

Inside the function `(defun dotspacemacs/layers () ... )` uncomment the org layer and switch on roam-support.
You will also need to enable `bibtex`.
You should have something that looks like:
