What problem does it solve?
It helps teams avoid README drift by performing a structural check and then generating a README that matches the correct project type (service, library, monorepo, or naisjob).
Core Features & Use Cases
- README scope detection: Identifies whether the target is a monorepo, service/API, library/package, naisjob, or docs-only by looking at signals in the repository layout and manifests.
- Structural review with guardrails: Verifies required sections and flags structural anti-patterns like missing quick start, zombie sections, depth mismatch, and over-structuring.
- Scaffold generation from templates: Creates a new README draft using the appropriate template and fills in what can be inferred (stack, commands, endpoints, config), leaving clear placeholders for what cannot be detected.
- Language handoff support: Keeps structure responsibility separate from writing quality by recommending a language-focused skill for Norwegian/clarity polishing after the review or generation.
Quick Start
Use readme-review to structural-check an existing README and recommend the top 3 fixes, or generate a new README draft for your project type, starting from the detected scope.
