SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill cleans up AI-generated markdown files (like plans, analyses, and summaries) that Claude Code might leave behind in your repository, consolidating relevant information into your main README.md.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • AI Artifact Identification: Distinguishes between AI-generated files and human-authored documentation.
  • Content Consolidation: Extracts valuable information from AI artifacts and integrates it into README.md.
  • Artifact Removal: Deletes identified AI-generated files after processing.
  • Use Case: After a coding session, you find several PLAN.md and ANALYSIS.md files. This Skill will merge any useful insights into your project's README.md and then delete those temporary files.

Quick Start

Run the readme-sync skill to consolidate AI-generated markdown files into README.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I clean up AI-generated markdown files in my repository?

Cleaning up AI-generated markdown files involves identifying artifacts like planning documents and summaries, extracting their useful information into README.md, and then deleting them. This process distinguishes AI content from human-authored docs to preserve original files.

Can I consolidate AI planning documents into README.md without losing human-authored documentation?

You can consolidate AI planning documents into README.md without losing human-authored documentation. The process inventories and classifies markdown files, absorbing AI-generated content into README.md while explicitly preserving human-authored documentation.

What is the best way to remove temporary AI coding session artifacts from a project?

The best way to remove temporary AI coding session artifacts is to use an automated tool that identifies AI-generated summaries and plans, merges their useful insights into README.md, and then deletes the artifacts. This prevents manual cleanup errors and lost information.

Does readme-sync work with standard markdown files like PLAN.md and ANALYSIS.md?

Yes, readme-sync works with standard markdown files like PLAN.md and ANALYSIS.md. It identifies these AI-generated artifacts from previous coding sessions, extracts their relevant content, and integrates it into the main README.md before removing them.

How do I merge AI analysis summaries into my main project documentation?

Merging AI analysis summaries into main project documentation requires reading and classifying the markdown files, extracting valuable information, and editing README.md to absorb it. The temporary analysis files are then deleted from the repository.

What are the limitations of automatically consolidating markdown content into README.md?

The limitations of automatically consolidating markdown content into README.md include the dependency on glob, read, bash, write, and edit tools to function. It also relies on accurately classifying AI artifacts versus human-authored files to avoid unintended data loss.
