# README Generator Produce a clear, accurate README by reading the project, not by guessing. ## When to use When the user asks to create or update the project README. ## Procedure 1. Gather facts from the repo first: - `package.json`, `pyproject.toml`, `go.mod`, or the equivalent, for the name, description, scripts, and dependencies. - The entry point and the top-level folder structure. - Any existing README, docs, or `.env.example` for the real setup steps. 2. Draft these sections, including only what you can verify from the repo: - **Title and one-line description.** - **What it does**, in two or three sentences. - **Install** and **run** commands, taken from the real scripts, never invented. - **Configuration**, if there are environment variables or config files. - **Project structure**, if the layout is non-obvious. - **License**, if a LICENSE file exists. 3. Keep it honest. If you cannot confirm a step from the repo, leave a clearly marked placeholder rather than guessing. 4. Write the result to `README.md`. If one already exists, preserve any hand-written sections you cannot improve. ## Notes - Accuracy beats completeness. A short, correct README is better than a long one with wrong commands.
