+# socket-bazel-adapter
+
+A vendor auxiliary adapter that wraps the [Socket CLI](https://docs.socket.dev/cli) for use within Bazel build environments. Drop the `socket-tool/` folder into any Bazel monorepo to run Socket security scans (standard or Tier-1 reachability analysis) against collected manifest and lockfiles.
+
+## What it does
+
+- Generates missing manifest files from orphaned lockfiles
+- Collects manifest files into a `bazel-manifest-output/` directory
+- Runs Socket security scans via Bazel targets (`socket_scan` or `t1_socket_scan`)
+
+## Quick start
+
+See [HOW-TO-use-socket-tool-in-Bazel.md](HOW-TO-use-socket-tool-in-Bazel.md) for setup, environment variables, and usage instructions.
+
+## Example
