FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically generate a README.md from project configuration files?

To generate a README.md automatically, run the tool in your project root to detect the project type and apply a standardized template. It reads your configuration files to populate an 8-section structure, supporting Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, and Java environments.

Can I update an existing README.md without losing my custom content?

Updating an existing README.md preserves your custom content while adding missing standard sections. The tool merges new templated content with your existing text, ensuring consistency without overwriting the specific documentation you have already written.

Does the README generator support Python and Go project templates?

The README generator supports Python and Go projects, along with Node.js, Rust, Java, and more. It auto-detects the project type from configuration files and applies the appropriate standardized template to ensure consistent documentation across diverse repositories.

What is the best way to validate README structure and links across multiple repositories?

The best way to validate README structure and links is using the tool's built-in validation mode. It checks your documentation against project configuration files, ensuring the standardized 8-section template is followed and all links and metadata are accurate.

How do I use interactive mode for creating project documentation?

Interactive mode for creating project documentation prompts you for input during generation, allowing you to manually select or merge templated sections. Run the command in your project root and choose interactive mode to guide the content creation process.

What are the limitations of auto-detecting project types for documentation generation?

Auto-detecting project types relies on standard configuration files, so undocumented or non-standard project structures may require manual mode. If detection fails, you must manually specify the project type to correctly apply the standardized 8-section README template.
