67-67: Table entry properly positioned and formatted.The act tool entry is correctly placed in alphabetical order and the description aligns with the tool's Overview section. ✓
tools/GitHub-Actions/README.md (1)
154-158: Helpful new section with correct relative links.The Step 2 section is well-positioned in the Getting Started flow, and the relative links to
../actand../act/README.mdare correct for cross-references within the tools directory hierarchy. ✓tools/act/README.md (3)
3-3: Logo path conflicts with coding guidelines.The guideline specifies that direct tool subdirectories should use
../logos/, but this file uses../../logos/. However, this matches the existing pattern intools/GitHub-Actions/README.md(line 2) and the actual directory structure where logos are stored at the repository root. The current path is functionally correct, but there's a discrepancy with the stated coding guideline.Clarification needed: Should direct tool subdirectories (tools/ToolName/) use
../logos/per guideline, or../../logos/per existing code patterns?
98-98: Verify image file exists.The reference to
images/act-test-workflow-output.pngat line 98 requires the image file to be present attools/act/images/act-test-workflow-output.png. Per the PR description, this file should be included in the submission.
1-126: Complete README structure with all required sections.The file includes all required sections (Overview, Key Features, Getting Started, Resources) and provides comprehensive documentation with clear examples, installation instructions, and practical usage guidance. The content quality is strong. ✓

Fix Resources section formatting to match project standards.
The Resources section has two formatting issues:
- Extra leading space before list items (should be
-not-) - Bare URLs instead of markdown link format
Compare with tools/GitHub-Actions/README.md (lines 256-262) for the proper format and the main README template (lines 699-703).

In tools/act/README.md around lines 127 to 131 the Resources list items use an
extra leading space before the dash and include bare URLs; change each list item
to use "- " (no leading space) and convert bare URLs into markdown link syntax
like [Label](URL) matching the format used in tools/GitHub-Actions/README.md
lines 256-262 and the main README template lines 699-703 so each entry is a
properly labeled markdown link.

The URL in the Documentation & User Guide link appears to be incorrect. The URL https://nektosact.com/introduction.html is missing a dot between "nektos" and "act". It should be https://nektosact.com/ or more likely https://nektos.github.io/act/ based on the actual documentation location for the nektos/act project.

The Resources section formatting is inconsistent with other tools in the repository. Based on the project conventions (seen in tools like Docker and Terraform), the Resources section should use markdown links in a bulleted list format:
- [Official Website](url)
- [Documentation](url)
- [GitHub Repository](url)Instead, this uses:
- **Documentation & User Guide**: url
- **Official GitHub Repository**: urlThe bold labels and descriptions should be removed to match the standard format.
