SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing a clear, well-structured README from scratch is time-consuming, and many projects ship with missing or poorly organized documentation that confuses new users. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Project-wide analysis: Reviews the entire workspace to understand the project before writing the README. - Structured GFM output: Produces a concise README using GitHub Flavored Markdown, including GitHub admonition syntax where appropriate. - Editorial guidelines: Avoids emoji overuse, omits sections covered by dedicated files (LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING, CHANGELOG), and includes a project logo in the header when one exists. - Use Case: After scaffolding a new open source tool, ask the agent to review the codebase and produce a polished README.md modeled on high-quality reference projects. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to review this project and create a comprehensive README.md file for it.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a README file for my project automatically?▼

Invoke the create-readme skill and it will review your entire workspace, then write a structured README.md using GitHub Flavored Markdown. It follows proven open source README structures for tone and organization.

What sections should a good project README include?▼

A good README covers the project purpose, features, installation, usage, and architecture. This skill deliberately excludes LICENSE, CONTRIBUTING, and CHANGELOG sections since those belong in dedicated files.

Does the generated README support GitHub admonitions and GFM?▼

Yes, the output uses GitHub Flavored Markdown and applies GitHub admonition syntax (such as note and warning blocks) where appropriate to highlight important information.

Can the README include my project logo or icon?▼

Yes, if a logo or icon is found in the project, it is placed in the README header. If no logo exists, the README is generated without one.

When should I not use an auto-generated README?▼

Avoid relying on it when your project requires highly customized documentation, detailed API references, or audience-specific content. Treat the output as a strong starting draft for manual refinement.
