About this skill
READMEs answer questions your audience will have. Different audiences need different information - a contributor to an OSS project needs different context than future-you opening a config folder. Always ask: Who will read this, and what do they need to know? Ask: "What README task are you working on?" Creating initial README: Adding a section: Updating existing content: Reviewing/refreshing: After drafting, ask: "Anything else to highlight or include that I might have missed?" Ask the user if unclear. Don't assume OSS defaults for everything. Every README needs at minimum: - What type of project? (see Project Types below) - What problem does this solve in one sentence? - What's the quickest path to "it works"?
