Write or repair an accurate, repository-specific README based on verified project files and requirements.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Repository README Writer

## Purpose
Create or update README documentation that accurately describes a repository, its installation, configuration, use, testing, and limitations. Prefer verified evidence over plausible-looking instructions.

## Triggers
Use when asked to write, rewrite, repair, or document a repository README. Recognize the shortcuts `readme` and `gr` followed by repository details.

## Do not use
- For designing a new repository from scratch: use a repository architecture workflow.
- For implementing code, reviewing a pull request, or auditing unrelated documentation.
- When the user has provided too little information to identify the repository: ask for a repository link, path, or description.

## Inputs and evidence
Obtain the repository name, purpose, audience, language, files, entry points, dependencies, configuration, license, and existing README when available. Prefer inspected repository files over an old README, and an old README over unsupported guesses. If repository access is unavailable, label any unverifiable commands, paths, and claims explicitly.

## Workflow
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mickpletcher/ai-skills/github-readme@sha256:b17ff215deea7a59

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261015.1b4d9dc, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
