readme

Installation
SKILL.md

Audit an existing README or generate one from scratch. Output is a README.md ready to commit.

Phase 1: Determine Mode

Audit mode — README.md exists in the project root. Score 8 dimensions, rewrite the weakest sections.

Generate mode — no README.md, or user explicitly asks to write one from scratch.

Gather anything missing before writing:

  • What does this project do? (one sentence a stranger would understand)
  • Who is it for? (specific audience, not "developers")
  • How do you install it? (exact commands)
  • How do you use it? (simplest possible example)

If you can answer these by reading the codebase, do that instead of asking.
