README Generator

Name: README Generator
Brand: JustHandled Labs
Availability: InStock

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.

Skillstore labels the reviewed package Safe

Skillstore’s versioned audit covers the same two files linked from this page. It retains two capability-review items around optional local help commands and reports no prompt-injection, credential-access, or data-exfiltration intent.

This is review evidence, not a guarantee of no side effects. Read the full Skillstore audit.

The README matches the code. Does the app match its claims?

AI Build Sanity Check looks for mocks, placeholders, swallowed errors, and fake-success endpoints before an AI-built app is called finished.
