 Since the `codeql-action` runs most of its testing through individual Actions workflows, there are over two hundred required jobs that need to pass in order for a PR to turn green. It would be too tedious to maintain that list manually. You can regenerate the set of required checks automatically by running the [sync-checks.ts](pr-checks/sync-checks.ts) script:
 
-- At a minimum, you must provide an argument for the `--token` input. For example, `--token "$(gh auth token)"` to use the same token that `gh` uses. If no token is provided or the token has insufficient permissions, the script will fail.
+- At a minimum, you must provide a token with permissions to update branch protection rules. For example, `gh auth token | pr-checks/sync-checks.ts --token-stdin` uses the same token that `gh` uses. You can also set the `GH_TOKEN` or `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable. If no token is provided or the token has insufficient permissions, the script will fail.
 - By default, the script performs a dry run and outputs information about the changes it would make to the branch protection rules. To actually apply the changes, specify the `--apply` flag.
 - If you run the script without any other arguments, it will retrieve the set of workflows that ran for the latest commit on `main`.
 - You can specify a different git ref with the `--ref` input. You will likely want to use this if you have a PR that removes or adds PR checks. For example, `--ref "some/branch/name"` to use the HEAD of the `some/branch/name` branch.
