What it does

Readme Blueprint Generator is an agent skill from appleweiping/WEIPING_WIKI. Create, rewrite, or critique high-quality project README.md files. Use when the user asks to improve README aesthetics, information architecture, onboarding quality, public GitHub presentation, maintainer quick-start docs, repository documentation polish, or a top-tier README rewrite. Also use when README changes must reflect AGENTS.md, project purpose, workflows, validation, installation, testing, contribution, security, or automation rules.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.

It sits in Development, covering Technical documentation, UX design and Agent instruction files. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: knowledge base managed with an LLM workflow. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to improve README aesthetics
  • Information architecture
  • Onboarding quality
  • Public GitHub presentation

Example prompts

  • “/readme-blueprint-generator”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Inspect the current README and the project's authoritative docs before rewriting.
  2. Decide the README's audience and job.
  3. Build a narrative outline before editing.
  4. Rewrite for polish.
  5. Validate the README as an artifact.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 76fdc42. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Readme Blueprint Generator loads about 880 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 403 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~118
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~880

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

README Blueprint Generator

Generate or rewrite README.md as the public front door to a repository. The output should feel intentionally designed: clear first impression, strong hierarchy, concrete quick start, and no filler.

Workflow

  1. Inspect the current README and the project's authoritative docs before rewriting.
    • Prefer AGENTS.md, .wiki-schema.md, purpose.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, WORKFLOWS.md, package metadata, docs indexes, and existing automation scripts when present.
    • If .github/copilot/ or .github/copilot-instructions.md exists, read the smallest relevant files for architecture, stack, tests, workflow, and standards.
  2. Decide the README's audience and job.
    • Public reader: what is this, why should they care, where do they go next?
    • Maintainer or future agent: how do they start, verify, maintain, and avoid dangerous mistakes?
  3. Build a narrative outline before editing.
    • Start with a crisp identity sentence.
    • Put the most important navigation and quick-start material above long reference sections.
    • Use tables only when they reduce cognitive load.
    • Link to deeper docs instead of duplicating them.
  4. Rewrite for polish.
    • Prefer specific verbs and nouns.
    • Remove generic "comprehensive", "powerful", "easy-to-use" language unless backed by concrete behavior.
    • Keep sections visually varied: short paragraphs, compact tables, short command blocks, and scannable bullets.
    • Avoid overlong catalogs in README; point to maintained indexes.
  5. Validate the README as an artifact.
    • Check that commands are plausible for the repo.
    • Check that public/private boundaries are respected.
    • Check that the README does not claim unverified features or live status.
    • Run the repository's documentation, lint, catalog, or diff hygiene commands when available.
Show full SKILL.md (161 more words)Show less

Use this only as a starting shape; adapt to the repo.

  • Title and one-sentence positioning.
  • Short "why it exists" paragraph.
  • Entry map or "start here" table.
  • Quick start or common commands.
  • Architecture or repository map.
  • Core workflows.
  • Quality gates and verification.
  • Contribution or maintenance contract.
  • Security/public-private boundaries when relevant.
  • Links to deeper docs.

Quality Bar

A strong README:

  • gives a first-time reader an accurate mental model in under one minute;
  • helps a future maintainer perform the next correct action without reading every file;
  • separates stable project truth from generated outputs, caches, and private material;
  • shows real commands, validation, and maintenance expectations;
  • has enough visual rhythm to be pleasant on GitHub without becoming decorative.

Avoid

  • Turning the README into a full wiki index.
  • Listing every file or every command.
  • Repeating complete operating docs that already live elsewhere.
  • Hiding important safety or validation rules below a wall of prose.
  • Adding badges, diagrams, or slogans that are not supported by the repository.
