readme-author
Produces READMEs that work as a landing page: a visitor should know what this is, why they should care, and how to try it within the first screen. Default model output fails at this in predictable ways — verbose prose walls, badge spam, marketing hype, invented install commands — and this skill exists to prevent exactly those failures.

github.com/user/user) → out of scope; keep those to a single screen and decline politely. - Documentation sets and docs sites (tutorials, guides, API reference) →
