# README Writer
## What this skill does
This skill directs the agent to read a project's structure, `package.json` (or equivalent manifest), source files, and any existing documentation, then generate a complete, professional README.md. The output adapts its tone and structure to the type of project — a CLI tool, a web app, a library, or a framework — and covers everything a new user or contributor needs to get started.
Use this when you have a new project without documentation, an outdated README, or an open-source project you want to present well.
## How to use
### Claude Code / Cline
Copy this file to `.agents/skills/readme-writer/SKILL.md` in your project root.
Then ask:
- *"Use the README Writer skill to generate a README for this project."*
- *"Write a professional README.md for this repo using the README Writer skill."*
The agent will explore the project structure on its own. You can also provide a description of what the project does if the code alone isn't self-explanatory.
### Cursor
Add the "Prompt / Instructions" section to your `.cursorrules` file. Then open the relevant files (package.json, main entry point) and ask Cursor to write the README.
### Codex
Paste your `package.json` (or equivalent), the main entry file, and a brief description of the project. Then include the instructions below.
