README

Excerpt

Readme Polish

Overview

Modern GitHub READMEs are scannable first, readable second. A skimmer should understand what the project does, who it is for, and how to install it in 10 seconds. Motivated readers get more detail from collapsibles, tables, and follow-up sections.

This skill takes an existing README (or a blank slate) and rewrites it using the visual and layout patterns that well-regarded 2025-2026 open-source projects have converged on. It does not invent the content; content comes from the project itself. It shapes how that content is presented.

When to Use
