+# PSRule Job Summary Convention Extension Example
+
+This example demonstrates how conventions can contribute additional information to PSRule job summaries.
+
+## Overview
+
+The new `IJobSummaryContributor` interface allows conventions to append custom sections to job summary output. This enables:
+
+- Custom metrics and statistics
+- Environment information
+- Configuration summaries  
+- Additional analysis results
+
+## Usage
+
+Conventions can implement the `IJobSummaryContributor` interface to contribute content:
+
+```csharp
+public class MyConvention : BaseConvention, IConventionV1, IJobSummaryContributor
+{
+    public IEnumerable<JobSummarySection>? GetJobSummaryContent()
+    {
+        return new[] 
+        {
+            new JobSummarySection("Custom Metrics", "- Processed: 100 items\n- Success rate: 95%"),
+            new JobSummarySection("Environment", "- OS: Windows\n- Runtime: .NET 8.0")
+        };
+    }
+
+    // ... other convention implementation
+}
+```
+
+## Example Output
+
+The job summary will include additional sections after the standard PSRule content:
+
+```markdown
+# PSRule result summary
+
+❌ PSRule completed with an overall result of 'Fail' with 10 rule(s) and 5 target(s) in 00:00:02.123.
+
+## Analysis
+...
+
+## Custom Metrics
+- Processed: 100 items
+- Success rate: 95%
+
+## Environment  
+- OS: Windows
+- Runtime: .NET 8.0
+```
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+This feature is fully backward compatible. Existing conventions and job summaries will continue to work unchanged. Only conventions that explicitly implement `IJobSummaryContributor` will contribute additional content.
