FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a README.md from existing spec artifacts?

To generate a README.md from spec artifacts, provide SDDF files like project-intent.md, requirement-spec.md, and project-plan.md. The tool dynamically extracts sections from a Markdown template and populates them with artifact content to produce a publication-ready overview and usage guide.

What is the best way to automate documentation creation from project specs?

Automating documentation from project specs is handled by consolidating project-intent.md and requirement-spec.md files into a template-driven Markdown format. This ensures consistent structure and saves time by automatically deriving sections and populating them with existing artifact content.

Can I use a custom Markdown template for generating a project README?

Yes, you can use a custom Markdown template for README generation. The process enforces template-driven section extraction, meaning it dynamically derives sections from your provided readme template and preserves that structure during artifact content population.

Does generating a new README overwrite my existing README.md file?

Generating a new README.md does not automatically overwrite an existing file. A pre-write guard prompts you before overwriting, preserving your current README.md while ensuring the newly generated content is safely written only after confirmation.

Do I need SDDF spec artifacts to create a publish-ready README?

Yes, SDDF spec artifacts are required to create a publish-ready README. The tool populates the Markdown template by extracting content from available artifacts like project-intent.md, requirement-spec.md, and project-plan.md to produce the final overview.
