README Writer

Write clear, concise, well-targeted READMEs for open-source projects. The goal is a README that helps a stranger understand what the project is, try it in under 2 minutes, and know where to go next — nothing more.

Philosophy

A good open-source README is short enough to read and long enough to be useful. Avoid walls of text, badge spam, and sections that repeat what the code already says. Every section must earn its place by answering a question a newcomer actually has.

The three questions every README must answer fast:

  1. What is this? — one or two sentences.
  2. How do I use it? — install + minimal working example.
  3. Where do I go from here? — links to docs, issues, contributing guide.
