+## How to Build and Run
+
+[BUILD.md](BUILD.md) includes directions for building all components as well as running the vkcube demo applications.
+
+## Version Tagging Scheme
+
+Updates to this repository which correspond to a new Vulkan specification release are tagged using the following format: `v<`_`version`_`>` (e.g., `v1.3.266`).
+
+**Note**: Marked version releases have undergone thorough testing but do not imply the same quality level as SDK tags. SDK tags follow the `vulkan-sdk-<`_`version`_`>.<`_`patch`_`>` format (e.g., `vulkan-sdk-1.3.266.0`).
+
+This scheme was adopted following the `1.3.266` Vulkan specification release.
