README Generator
Generate a README from your actual repo, not a hallucinated guess.
What it does
Most generated READMEs are confident fiction: install steps that were never in the project, scripts that do not exist. README Generator reads what is actually in your repo instead. It scans your manifests, package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod, and Cargo.toml, and pulls the real install commands, scripts, and dependencies.
The evidence pass is read-only. When asked to create or update documentation, the skill writes README.md in the project root unless you request another path. Review the generated diff before committing it.
What it reads
- Package manifests across Node, Python, Go, Rust, and Java, including package.json, Python packaging files, go.mod, Cargo.toml, and Maven or Gradle files.
- Real install and run commands, not generic placeholders.
- Declared scripts and entry points.
- The actual dependency list.
- Existing documentation, code comments, Makefiles, license metadata, and entry points.
- A drafted README with install, usage, scripts, and license sections.
