Write GitHub README
Use this skill to turn a local artifact into something another person can understand, run, and evaluate from GitHub.
Workflow
- Read the repo shape: files, scripts, tests, screenshots, examples, and current README.
- Identify the audience: future self, collaborator, recruiter, OSS reader, customer, or private team.
- Put the value and runnable path above the fold.
- Include exact commands that were verified, not aspirational commands.
- Add screenshots or example images when visual output matters.
- Add limitations and safety notes when the repo is private, experimental, or local-only.
README Shape
