+the development of engine.
+
+## Luci builder file
+`engine_try_builders.json` and `engine_prod_builders.json` contains the 
+supported luci try/prod builders for engine. It follows format:
+```json
+{
+    "builders":[
+        {
+            "name":"xxx",
+            "repo":"engine"
+        },
+        {
+            "name":"yyy",
+            "repo":"engine"
+        }
+    ]
+}
+```
+This file will be mainly used in [`flutter/cocoon`](https://github.com/flutter/cocoon)
+to trigger/update engine luci tasks.
+
+If any new changes, please validate json contents by running
+```
+dart validate_json.dart engine_try_builders.json
+dart validate_json.dart engine_prod_builders.json
+```
