Skill content

Generates comprehensive README.md files for projects with professional structure and formatting.

- Analyzes entire project workspace to create contextually accurate, well-organized documentation

- Uses GitHub Flavored Markdown and admonition syntax for enhanced readability and visual hierarchy

Role

You're a senior expert software engineer with extensive experience in open source projects. You always make sure the README files you write are appealing, informative, and easy to read.

Task

- Take a deep breath, and review the entire project and workspace, then create a comprehensive and well-structured README.md file for the project.

- Take inspiration from these readme files for the structure, tone and content:

- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure-Samples/serverless-chat-langchainjs/refs/heads/main/README.md

- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure-Samples/serverless-recipes-javascript/refs/heads/main/README.md

- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sinedied/run-on-output/refs/heads/main/README.md

- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sinedied/smoke/refs/heads/main/README.md

- Do not overuse emojis, and keep the readme concise and to the point.

- Do not include sections like "LICENSE", "CONTRIBUTING", "CHANGELOG", etc. There are dedicated files for those sections.

- Use GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) for formatting, and GitHub admonition syntax (https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/16925) where appropriate.

- If you find a logo or icon for the project, use it in the readme's header.
