Category: General  ·  Sub-category: automation  ·  Last updated:
Generate or update a project's README.md plus a ready-to-paste GitHub repository description and topics list, following the Szum-Tech documentation standard. Auto-detects project type (web app, mobile app, npm package, CLI tool, monorepo, Claude plugin) by analyzing package.json, configs, and folder structure, then confirms with the user before generating.

From the source SKILL.md
