readme-generatorGenerate comprehensive, user-friendly README.md files for code repositories.
Readme Generator is an agent skill from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. Generate comprehensive, user-friendly README.md files for code repositories. Use when creating documentation for new projects, updating existing READMEs, or improving project onboarding. Produces READMEs with project introduction, prerequisites, environment setup, executable usage instructions, and repository structure overview. Supports application projects, libraries, and research codebases.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Technical documentation. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of 180+ useful Claude Skills for Software Engineering and resources for customizing AI for SE workflows. The licence is Apache-2.0.
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4f38503. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
img.shields.iogithub.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
API_KEYFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Readme Generator loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 448 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

Generate comprehensive, user-friendly README.md files for code repositories. Readme Generator is an agent skill from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE.md files for code repositories.
Readme Generator fits situations like: creating documentation for new projects; updating existing READMEs; improving project onboarding.
Run `npx skills add ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE --skill readme-generator -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/readme-generator in ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE) into .claude/skills/readme-generator in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE --skill readme-generator -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/readme-generator in ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE) into .agents/skills/readme-generator in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE --skill readme-generator -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/readme-generator, .gemini/skills/readme-generator, .github/skills/readme-generator and .opencode/skills/readme-generator in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Readme Generator needs credentials named API_KEY. Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js; A credential in API_KEY.
SKILL.md names 2 domains. In commands or code: img.shields.io and github.com; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (runs commands with sudo; mentions a .env file), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Readme Generator is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.6k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 10k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Readme Generator: Diagram Design (cathrynlavery/diagram-design, 45k stars), Simple English (moeru-ai/airi, 50k stars), Get API Docs with chub (andrewyng/context-hub, 14k stars) and Doc Sync (JetBrains/ideavim, 10k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
