Writes or audits READMEs against the Standard Readme spec. Use whenever the user asks to create, rewrite, improve, audit, or fix a README, or asks about README quality or structure - even if they never mention "standard readme".
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
# Standard Readme Generate and audit README.md files that comply with the [Standard Readme](https://github.com/RichardLitt/standard-readme) specification. ## Two Modes **Write mode** (default): Generate a new README or rewrite an existing one. **Audit mode**: When the user asks to "check", "audit", "review", or "lint" a README, analyze it against the spec and report issues without rewriting. --- ## The Specification A compliant README has sections in this exact order. Some are required, some optional. Optional sections should be included only when they add real value for the project - don't pad the README with empty sections. ### Section Order ``` 1. Title REQUIRED (H1) 2. Banner optional (image, no heading) 3. Badges optional (no heading) 4. Short Description REQUIRED (plain text, no heading) 5. Long Description optional (no heading) 6. Table of Contents REQUIRED* (H2) 7. Security optional (H2) 8. Background optional (H2) 9. Install REQUIRED** (H2) 10. Usage REQUIRED** (H2) …

How to install
mdr add tenequm/skills/standard-readme@sha256:27d729b1f042de93The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.6, 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.
