github-readme skillA

github-readme is agent-read markdown (skill) from avalonreset/legends-github: Write or improve repository documentation from actual capabilities, verified setup and examples, useful comparisons, and audience needs. Optional artwork and research never block the README..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# GitHub README

Make the project understandable and usable for its intended audience. Preserve
accurate existing material, upstream credits, and the owner's voice.

## Runtime and scope

Resolve **GITHUB_HOME** from this skill directory: `../../github` in source,
`../github` when installed. Verify `scripts/run_headless.py` exists and read
`GITHUB_HOME/references/portable-workflows.md`. Resolve **TARGET** separately.

```text
python "<GITHUB_HOME>/scripts/run_headless.py" readme --help
python "<GITHUB_HOME>/scripts/run_headless.py" readme --path "<TARGET>"
python "<GITHUB_HOME>/scripts/run_headless.py" readme --path "<TARGET>" --write
```

Default mode creates `readme-data.json`, `README-REPORT.md`, `README-PREVIEW.md`,
and `README-SUMMARY.json` at returned artifact paths. Inspect the preview before
`--write`, which can replace curated content. A targeted edit is often better
than using an entire generated template. A generated score is not validation.

## Gather before drafting

- Read the existing README in its actual format, including RST or other supported
  formats. Do not convert it merely for consistency with a template.
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add avalonreset/legends-github/github-readme@git:20260921.35da7ee
Exact content
mdr add avalonreset/legends-github/github-readme@sha256:e416d55031090025

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
