+## Getting Started
+
+Add the following to your `WORKSPACE` file to import the Skylib repository into
+your workspace. Replace the version number in the `tag` attribute with the
+version you wish to depend on:
+
+```python
+git_repository(
+    name = "bazel_skylib",
+    remote = "https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-skylib.git",
+    tag = "0.1.0",  # change this to use a different release
+)
+```
+
+Then, in the `BUILD` and/or `*.bzl` files in your own workspace, you can load
+the modules (listed [below](#list-of-modules)) from `lib.bzl` and access the
+symbols by dotting into those structs:
 
 ```python
 load("@bazel_skylib//:lib.bzl", "paths", "shell")
