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 wwwzhouhui/skills_collection at 276b1f1fbd.

    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 automatically generates Markdown-formatted README files for GitHub repositories. It transforms project details into structured documentation that includes descriptions, installation instructions, and usage examples.

When to use it

  • You have a new repository with code but no accompanying documentation file.
  • You need to quickly standardize the format of READMEs across multiple projects.
  • You want to create professional-looking documentation without writing boilerplate text manually.
  • You are setting up a template repository for open-source contributors.

Key capabilities

  • Generates complete Markdown content tailored to your project context.
  • Structures output with standard GitHub sections like features, installation, and usage.
  • Produces ready-to-use files that can be directly committed to a repository.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a README for my Python data analysis library including setup steps and example code snippets."
  • "Create a documentation file for a React dashboard project highlighting its key components and deployment guide."
  • "Write a README for an API service describing endpoints, authentication methods, and rate limits."

Tips & gotchas

Provide specific details about your project's purpose, tech stack, and unique features to ensure the generated content is accurate. Review the output carefully, as the AI may need clarification on complex technical configurations or specific branding requirements.
