 ## Build Process
 
-### Using SourceKnight (Recommended)
-The repository uses SourceKnight for automated dependency management and building:
-
-```bash
-# Install SourceKnight if not already available
-pip install sourceknight
-
-# Build the plugin (handles dependency downloads automatically)
-sourceknight build
-
-# Output will be in .sourceknight/package/addons/sourcemod/plugins/
-```
-
-**Note**: SourceKnight installation may fail on some systems due to dependency issues. The CI/CD pipeline uses Docker containers with SourceKnight pre-installed.
+### Using GitHub Actions (Recommended)
+The repository builds natively via GitHub Actions using `rumblefrog/setup-sp` to install the SourcePawn compiler (SourceMod 1.12.x), clones the `MultiColors` and `VIP-Core` include dependencies, and compiles with `spcomp`. Just push or open a PR and CI will build the plugin.
 
 ### Manual Build Process
-If SourceKnight installation fails, you can build manually:

 ```bash
 # 1. Download dependencies manually:

 ### CI/CD Pipeline
 - **Trigger**: Push, pull request, or manual dispatch
-- **Build**: Uses maxime1907/action-sourceknight@v1
+- **Build**: Native GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) using `rumblefrog/setup-sp`
 - **Output**: Creates tar.gz releases with compiled plugins
 - **Versioning**: Uses git tags or "latest" for main/master branch
