+# Sizeguard
+
+This directory contains scripts used to monitor and gate the size of Filament artifacts.
+
+## Scripts
+
+### `dump_artifact_size.py`
+Computes the sizes of build artifacts (e.g., `.aar`, `.tgz`) and their internal contents. It outputs a JSON representation of these sizes.
+
+**Usage:**
+```bash
+python3 dump_artifact_size.py out/*.aar > current_size.json
+```
+
+### `check_size.py`
+Compares a current size JSON (generated by `dump_artifact_size.py`) against historical data stored in the `filament-assets` repository. It fails if any artifact's size increase exceeds a specified threshold.
+
+**Key Arguments:**
+- `current_json`: Path to the local JSON file.
+- `--threshold`: Size increase threshold in bytes (default: 20KB).
+- `--bypass`: If provided, the script will print the comparison but exit successfully even if thresholds are exceeded.
+
+### `check_bypass.py`
+A utility script that checks the commit message for a specific tag to determine if the sizeguard check should be bypassed.
+
+**Usage:**
+- Returns exit code `0` if the tag `SIZEGUARD_BYPASS` is found in the commit message.
+- Returns exit code `1` otherwise.
+
+## Continuous Integration
+
+These scripts are integrated into the GitHub Actions workflows (e.g., `.github/workflows/presubmit.yml`).
+
+To bypass a failing sizeguard check in a PR, add the following tag on a new line in your commit message:
+```
+SIZEGUARD_BYPASS
+```
