Polish Repository
You are polishing an open-source repository to production quality. Follow each step in order, adapting to the project's language, ecosystem, and existing state.
Step 1: Gather context
Before making any changes, understand what you're working with:
- Read the package manifest —
package.json,go.mod,Cargo.toml,pyproject.toml, etc. Note the project name, description, license field, and any existing scripts. - Check for CI workflows — look in
.github/workflows/for existing build, test, and release pipelines. - Check for branding assets — look for banner images, logos, or OG cards in
.github/assets/,public/, or the repo root. If none exist, download the shared Continue banner fromhttps://raw.githubusercontent.com/continuedev/continue/main/media/github-readme.pngand save it as.github/assets/continue-banner.png. - Determine ecosystem — npm/Node.js, Go, Rust, Python, etc. This affects publishing setup and contributing instructions.
- Read the existing README — understand what documentation already exists so you preserve and improve it rather than losing content.
- Check for existing community files —
LICENSE,CONTRIBUTING.md,SECURITY.md, issue templates, PR templates.
Step 2: README overhaul
Restructure the README with this template:
More from continuedev/skills
check
Runs .continue/checks locally against the current diff, simulating the GitHub PR checks experience. Use when the user says /check to review their changes before pushing.
471writing-checks
Write Continue check files that review pull requests with AI agents. Use when the user asks to create, write, or generate a check, or wants to enforce a convention on PRs.
140scan
Scans the codebase against another skill's criteria using a parallel agent team. Use when the user says /scan <skill-name> to audit code quality, find violations, or assess conformance to best practices.
56all-green
Addresses all PR review comments, resolves merge conflicts, and fixes failing CI checks to get the PR ready to merge. Use when the user wants to make their PR "all green" or ready for merge.
