Create Github Readme

Checked
alfredang·vlatest·writing

Helps with creation, GitHub as part of writing, documentation, and content creation workflows.

Repository

Install on your platform

This skill no longer installs under the name create-github-readme. alfredang/skills is deleted or private, so it cannot be installed from.

We check each listing against its upstream repository with the rules the skills CLI uses, last on 2026-10-22. We don't show a command we know will fail.

Taken from the source listing. We haven't verified who controls this account.

Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned alfredang/skills at 077367e2da.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill generates a basic README file for a new GitHub repository. It structures common sections like project title, description, installation instructions, and usage examples. The generated README provides a starting point that can be customized further to fully document the project.

When to use it

  • You're starting a new software project and need a quick, basic README file.
  • You want to quickly populate a GitHub repository with standard documentation sections.
  • You’re teaching someone how to create a GitHub repository and want to demonstrate a simple README generation process.
  • You need to rapidly prototype a project's initial public presence on GitHub.

Key capabilities

  • Generates a structured README file.
  • Includes common sections: Project Title, Description, Installation, Usage.
  • Provides a starting point for more detailed documentation.

Example prompts

  • "Create a README for my new project called 'My Awesome App'."
  • “Generate a basic GitHub README with the title ‘Data Analysis Script’ and a short description about analyzing sales data.”
  • "Make a simple README for a Python library that helps users manage their tasks."

Tips & gotchas

The generated README is intended as a template. You will likely need to edit it to include project-specific details and customize the content.
