+# Minimal Example Zephyr EC Project
+
+This directory is intended to be an extremely minimal example of a
+project.  Should you like, you can use it as a bring up a new program,
+or as reference as you require.
+
+If you're bringing up a new variant of a program, you don't need a
+whole project directory with a `BUILD.py` and all, and this example is
+likely not of use to you.  Check out the [project config
+documentation] for instructions on adding a new variant.
+
+[project config documentation]: ../../../docs/zephyr/project_config.md
