Create Detailed Project READMEs
Incomplete READMEs slow onboarding and hide setup details. This skill helps Claude, Codex, and Claude Code create clear setup, architecture, testing, and deployment documentation.
Install with my Agent
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "readme" from https://skillstore.io/skills/sickn33-readme.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/sickn33-readme/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.
Agent-readable resources
Use these links when an AI agent, crawler, or script needs clean context instead of reading the full page.
Test it
Using "readme". Create a README for a Rails project with PostgreSQL, Vite, and background jobs.
Expected outcome:
A README with project overview, tech stack, setup steps, environment variables, database commands, architecture notes, tests, and deployment guidance.
Using "readme". Update an outdated README after the project moved from npm to pnpm.
Expected outcome:
A revised README that corrects dependency installation, development server commands, test instructions, and troubleshooting notes.
Using "readme". Document how a new engineer should run this service locally.
Expected outcome:
An onboarding-focused README section with prerequisites, configuration placeholders, local startup steps, verification checks, and common fixes.
Security Audit
SafeThe static findings are false positives caused by markdown code fences, inline code, placeholder configuration, and user-visible README examples. No prompt injection, hidden command execution, unauthorized network access, or credential exfiltration intent was found in SKILL.md. Generated READMEs should still use placeholders for all secrets and private deployment details.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Onboard New Maintainers
Create a README that explains setup, architecture, scripts, and troubleshooting for incoming contributors.
Document a Rails Application
Generate README sections for dependencies, database setup, credentials, tests, and deployment workflows.
Prepare an Open Source Release
Update public project documentation with prerequisites, installation steps, usage notes, testing, and contribution guidance.
Try These Prompts
Create a README.md for this project. Include setup steps, common commands, tests, and a short architecture overview.
Review the current README.md and update it to match the repository. Keep accurate sections and fix outdated commands.
Create a contributor-focused README with prerequisites, local setup, project structure, testing, troubleshooting, and contribution notes.
Audit this repository and produce a production-ready README. Cover setup, architecture, deployment, operations, and troubleshooting. Use placeholders for all secrets.
Best Practices
- Review generated commands before publishing the README.
- Provide business context and target deployment platform when the repository does not make them clear.
- Use placeholders for secret values, private URLs, and production credentials.
Avoid
- Publishing generated documentation that includes real credentials or private keys.
- Accepting deployment instructions without checking them against the actual hosting platform.
- Using the full template for a small project that needs a short README.
