-# Repository Metadata Profile
-
-This document defines the GitHub repository metadata for the `benchmarks` project. Maintaining accurate metadata ensures discoverability and clear positioning within the `go-modkit` ecosystem.
-
-## Metadata Profile
-
-| Field | Value |
-|-------|-------|
-| **Description** | Parity-gated benchmark harness for API framework performance comparison. Ensures correctness via declarative contract fixtures before measuring throughput and latency. |
-| **Topics** | `go`, `benchmark`, `api-parity`, `performance-testing`, `reproducibility`, `modkit`, `framework-comparison`, `api-contract`, `docker-orchestration`, `quality-gates` |
-| **Homepage** | `https://github.com/go-modkit/benchmarks` |
-
-## Application Checklist
-
-### Automated (via GitHub CLI)
-
-If you have the `gh` CLI installed and authenticated, run the following command to apply the profile:
-
-```bash
-gh repo edit go-modkit/benchmarks \
-  --description "Parity-gated benchmark harness for API framework performance comparison. Ensures correctness via declarative contract fixtures before measuring throughput and latency." \
-  --add-topic "go,benchmark,api-parity,performance-testing,reproducibility,modkit,framework-comparison,api-contract,docker-orchestration,quality-gates" \
-  --homepage "https://github.com/go-modkit/benchmarks"
-```
-
-### Manual Fallback
-
-If the GitHub CLI is unavailable, follow these steps:
-
-1. Navigate to the repository on GitHub: [go-modkit/benchmarks](https://github.com/go-modkit/benchmarks)
-2. Click on the **Settings** gear icon (or the "About" section edit icon on the main page).
-3. In the **Description** field, paste:
-   > Parity-gated benchmark harness for API framework performance comparison. Ensures correctness via declarative contract fixtures before measuring throughput and latency.
-4. In the **Website** field, paste:
-   > https://github.com/go-modkit/benchmarks
-5. In the **Topics** section, add the following tags one by one:
-   - `go`
-   - `benchmark`
-   - `api-parity`
-   - `performance-testing`
-   - `reproducibility`
-   - `modkit`
-   - `framework-comparison`
-   - `api-contract`
-   - `docker-orchestration`
-   - `quality-gates`
-6. Click **Save changes**.
-
-## Verification
-
-To verify the current metadata, run:
-
-```bash
-gh repo view go-modkit/benchmarks --json description,repositoryTopics,homepage
-```
