SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the manual effort of maintaining consistent, up-to-date badge blocks in project README files, ensuring that metadata like license, runtime, and TypeScript support is always accurate.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Normalization: Automatically detects and updates the four standard badges (npm, License, Runtime, TypeScript) while preserving custom badges like CI status or code coverage.
  • Smart Detection: Intelligently distinguishes between package-level READMEs and monorepo root documentation to apply the correct badge strategy.
  • Use Case: When updating a project's Node.js version or license, run this skill to instantly refresh the badge block without manually editing Markdown image links.

Quick Start

Use the user-docs-badges skill to normalize the badge block in the current README.md file.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically update README badges when project metadata changes?▼

You can automatically update README badges by running a skill that detects package metadata and surgically updates standard badge blocks for npm, License, Runtime, and TypeScript while preserving custom status indicators.

How do I standardize badge blocks in a monorepo root README without losing custom CI status badges?▼

Standardizing badge blocks in monorepo documentation involves smart detection that distinguishes root READMEs from package-level READMEs, applying correct badge strategies while leaving custom badges untouched.

What is the best way to maintain consistent license and runtime badges across multiple README files?▼

Maintaining consistent README badges is best handled by automated normalization, which identifies package metadata and updates the four standard badges without requiring manual Markdown image link edits.

Do I need a specific subagent to normalize documentation badges in my project?▼

Normalizing documentation badges requires integration with the user-docs subagent to perform structural analysis and file modification of the README.md file.

Why does my badge block not update when I change my project's Node.js version?▼

Your badge block may not update because standard badges require automated normalization to detect package metadata changes and refresh the image links in the README file.

Can I preserve custom code coverage badges while normalizing standard npm badges?▼

You can preserve custom code coverage badges during normalization because the process intelligently distinguishes between standard metadata badges and custom status indicators, updating only the four standard badges.
