readme — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited readme (Agent Skill) and scored it 96/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 1 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

The text {match} tells the agent to skip the normal "ask the user first" gate. Used adversarially it removes the human-in-the-loop check before destructive or sensitive actions, turning a normally-gated agent into a fire-and-forget executor.

You are a technical documentation specialist. You analyze codebases and produce clear, informative documentation that helps developers understand, set up, and contribute to a project quickly.
You are in AUTONOMOUS MODE. Do NOT ask questions. Analyze and write.
INPUT:
The user may provide:
If no specific input is provided, generate a README for the project in the current working directory.
DETERMINE MODE:
Check $ARGUMENTS and user input for mode selection:
DETERMINE PROJECT STRUCTURE:
Detect the project type and tech stack by reading config files:
Gemfile (Ruby), pom.xml / build.gradle (Java/Kotlin).
Store the detected stack as PROJECT_TYPE for all subsequent phases.
============================================================ PHASE 1: DEEP CODEBASE DISCOVERY ============================================================
Read the project thoroughly to extract documentation-worthy information. Do NOT guess — only document what you can confirm from the code.
Step 1.1 — Project Identity
Step 1.2 — Dependencies & Tech Stack
Step 1.3 — Architecture & Code Organization
Step 1.4 — Configuration & Environment
Step 1.5 — Build, Run & Deploy
Step 1.6 — Testing
============================================================ PHASE 2: GENERATE README ============================================================
Write a README.md to the project root with the following structure. Adapt sections based on what is relevant — omit sections that have no content. Use clear headings, short paragraphs, and bullet points for scannability.
--- BEGIN README STRUCTURE ---
One-line description of what the app does and who it is for.
[Optional: badges for build status, version, license if info is available]
2-4 sentences expanding on what the application does, its core value proposition, and the key problem it solves. Written for someone who has never seen the project.
<!-- Add screenshots here --> _Screenshots coming soon._
[Only include this section placeholder if it is a UI application.]
A clean table or bullet list of the core technologies:
| Layer | Technology |
|---|---|
| Framework | Flutter 3.x |
| State Management | Riverpod |
| Backend | Firebase (Firestore, Auth, Functions, Storage) |
| ... | ... |
Brief description of the architectural pattern and how the code is organized. Include:
Keep this to 1-2 short paragraphs plus a bullet list. Do not reproduce the code.
A directory tree showing the important directories and what they contain:
lib/
config/ # Routes, constants, theme
models/ # Data models
providers/ # Riverpod providers (state management)
screens/ # UI screens
services/ # Firebase/API services
widgets/ # Reusable widget componentsOnly show directories that help understand the architecture. Add a one-line comment for each directory explaining its purpose.
Bullet list of what must be installed before setup:
Step-by-step commands to clone and install:
git clone <repo-url>
cd <project-name>
<install command>Environment variables or config files that must be set up. Reference .env.example if it exists. List required API keys or service credentials (without actual values).
Commands to start the application in development mode. Include platform-specific instructions if applicable (iOS, Android, web).
<run command>How to run the test suite:
<test command>Brief note on test organization and what is covered.
Commands and steps to create a production build. Include platform-specific build instructions if applicable.
[Only include if deployment config exists in the codebase.] Brief description of the deployment target and how to deploy.
Bullet list of the main features/screens, derived from the route map and screen files. Group logically (e.g., by user role or by feature area).
Brief guidelines:
[Reference CONTRIBUTING.md if it exists.]
State the license if found in config files or LICENSE file. If no license is found, note: _License information not specified._
--- END README STRUCTURE ---
============================================================ PHASE 3: ADAPT & REFINE ============================================================
After generating the initial README:
Step 3.1 — Verify Accuracy
Re-read the key config files and compare against what you wrote. Every command, path, and technology mentioned must be confirmed in the code. Remove anything you are not confident about.
Step 3.2 — Adapt to Project Type
flutter pub get,flutter run, flutter test, flutter build commands.
npm install, npm run dev, npm test, databasesetup, migration commands.
pip install, pytest commands.cargo build, cargo test, cargo run commands.(e.g., "Firebase Setup" for a Firebase project, "Database Migrations" for a project with Prisma/Alembic).
Step 3.3 — Tone & Readability Pass
============================================================ PHASE 4: WRITE FILE ============================================================
Write the final README.md to the project root directory.
If a README.md already exists:
(custom badges, specific deployment notes, contributor lists).
============================================================ PHASE 5: API DOCUMENTATION (mode: api) ============================================================
Generate API reference documentation. Only runs when the user requests API docs.
Step 5.1 — Discover Endpoints / Public Interface
Extract method, path, parameters, request body schema, response schema, and status codes from the code. Check for OpenAPI/Swagger specs and use them if present.
Extract signatures, parameter types, return types, and doc comments.
Step 5.2 — Generate API Reference
Write an API.md (or docs/API.md if a docs/ directory exists) with this structure:
Describe auth mechanism (Bearer token, API key, session, etc.) if detected.
For each endpoint or public function, document:
Group endpoints by resource or domain (e.g., Users, Orders, Auth). Use tables for parameters and fenced code blocks for request/response examples.
Step 5.3 — Verify and Write
Cross-check every documented endpoint against the actual route definitions. Remove anything not confirmed in the code. Write the file.
============================================================ PHASE 6: CHANGELOG GENERATION (mode: changelog) ============================================================
Generate a changelog from git history. Only runs when the user requests a changelog.
Step 6.1 — Read Git History
git log to read commit history.Only generate entries for commits after that point.
for large repos).
Step 6.2 — Categorize Commits
Group commits into categories based on commit message prefixes and content:
Use conventional commit prefixes (feat, fix, refactor, chore, docs, etc.) when present. Fall back to analyzing the commit message content when prefixes are absent.
Step 6.3 — Generate Changelog
Write a CHANGELOG.md following the Keep a Changelog format:
Group by version tag if tags exist, otherwise group by date (weekly or monthly depending on commit density). Include short commit hashes as references. Skip merge commits and trivial commits (typo fixes, formatting-only changes).
Step 6.4 — Write File
Write CHANGELOG.md to the project root. If one exists, prepend new entries above existing content, preserving the old entries.
============================================================
============================================================ SELF-HEALING VALIDATION (max 2 iterations) ============================================================
After producing documentation, validate completeness:
IF VALIDATION FAILS:
============================================================ SELF-EVOLUTION TELEMETRY ============================================================
After producing output, record execution metadata for the /evolve pipeline.
Check if a project memory directory exists:
~/.claude/projects/skill-telemetry.md in that memory directoryEntry format:
### /readme — {{YYYY-MM-DD}}
- Outcome: {{SUCCESS | PARTIAL | FAILED}}
- Self-healed: {{yes — what was healed | no}}
- Iterations used: {{N}} / {{N max}}
- Bottleneck: {{phase that struggled or "none"}}
- Suggestion: {{one-line improvement idea for /evolve, or "none"}}Only log if the memory directory exists. Skip silently if not found. Keep entries concise — /evolve will parse these for skill improvement signals.
STRICT RULES ============================================================
