About Better README
A skill for reviewing, improving or translating a project README. It applies a reader funnel: name, one-liner, runnable usage, install, API, caveats, contributing and licence, so the most decision-relevant facts come first. It moves maintainer-only content out, checks links and claims, and keeps an archived copy of the Art of README reference.
Best for
Open-source maintainers and developer tool teams
Use cases
- Rewrite an open-source README before a launch
- Check whether a README answers what a new user needs in 30 seconds
- Translate a README idiomatically, not word for word
Notes
Why it matters
A README decides in seconds whether someone tries your project. This skill treats it as a funnel and fixes the order, which is where most READMEs go wrong.
