mention how to do that.

+# cts_runner
+
+This crate contains infrastructure for running the WebGPU conformance tests on
+Deno's `wgpu`-based implementation of WebGPU.
+
+Instructions for running the tests via the CTS `xtask` are in the
+[top-level README](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu/blob/trunk/README.md#webgpu-conformance-test-suite).
+The file [revision.txt](./revision.txt) specifies the version of the CTS that
+will be used by default.
+
+`cts_runner` is somewhat misnamed at this point, in that it is useful for
+things other than just running the CTS:
+
+- The [tests](./tests) directory contains a few directed tests for
+  Deno's bindings to `wgpu`.
+- Standalone JavaScript snippets that use WebGPU can be run
+  with a command like: `cargo run -p cts_runner -- test.js`.
