# Prompt: Generate a Polished README for Any Project ## Goal Produce a high-quality `README.md`: - Clear **title + short tagline** - Optional **logo** - Relevant **badges** - Conversational **hook** - “What is <Project>?” section - **Getting Started** with minimal, copy-pasteable examples - **Structure** table of key packages/modules - Friendly **closing** Keep it accurate (no hallucinations), concise, and developer-friendly. --- ## Tooling You May Use - Repo metadata & history - `git --no-pager log -n 20 --oneline` - `git --no-pager ls-files` - `git remote get-url origin` - Language fingerprints (pick what applies) - Go: `go list -m` (module path), check for `go.mod` - Node: read `package.json` - Python: `pyproject.toml` / `setup.cfg` - Rust: `Cargo.toml` - Code & examples discovery - Search `examples/`, `cmd/`, `docs/`, `internal/`, `pkg/`, `src/` - Look for a logo in `docs/img/*`, `assets/*`, `logo.*` - Coverage/CI hints - Look for `codecov.yml`, GitHub Actions in `.github/workflows`, etc. **Rule:** Prefer facts from code/config over assumptions. If unsure, add a small “(optional)” note or omit. --- ## Rules & Style - **Tone:** friendly, crisp, “smart brevity” with tiny hints of personality. - **Accuracy:** verify claims from code/tests; don’t invent features. - **Examples:** minimal, runnable; show the *shortest path* to value. - **Badges:** only include ones you can confidently compute (repo, language, docs). - **Links:** prefer relative links for in-repo assets (e.g., `docs/img/logo.png`). - **Emojis:** tasteful in headings (e.g., section icons) but don’t overdo it. --- ## What to Extract - **Project name** (language artifact or repo name) - **One-line tagline** (what it is + why it matters) - **Logo path** if present - **Badges** (selectively based on tech & repo): - GitHub default branch, Go version, Codecov, Docs site (pkg.go.dev/docs.rs/PyPI/npm), Go Report Card, CI status - **Core features** (from code & docs) - **Getting Started**: - *Library*: install/import + minimum example - *CLI*: install + first command + basic usage - **Structure**: key packages/modules with short descriptions + doc links - **Closing**: short call for feedback/PRs --- ## Output Format (write exactly this structure) # <ProjectName> <optional emoji> <optional logo image, if found> **<Short tagline (1 line)>** <Badges block (only if resolvable)> --- <1–3 paragraph hook that frames the pain/problem and why this project helps. Keep it human.> --- ## 🧠 What is <ProjectName>? <Explain what it does, who it’s for, and the main use cases. Bullet the top 3–5 benefits.> - <Benefit 1> - <Benefit 2> - <Benefit 3> --- ## 🚀 Getting Started ### Installation <Show language-appropriate install. Examples:> - **Go (library)** ```bash go get <module-path> ``` - **Node (library/CLI)** ```bash npm i <package-name> # or pnpm add <package-name> ``` - **Python (library/CLI)** ```bash pip install <package-name> ``` ### Minimal Example \<Provide the smallest runnable example. Use the project’s primary entry points.> ```<language> <tiny, working example> ``` \<Optional: second example demonstrating a standout feature.> --- ## 🧱 Structure \<Brief sentence: “The project is organized into focused modules so you can depend only on what you need.”> | Module/Path | Description | Docs | | ------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------- | | `<path/pkg>` | <1-line summary> | [Reference](doc-link-or-api-ref) | | `<path/pkg2>` | <1-line summary> | [Reference](doc-link-or-api-ref) | (Add 2–6 rows; keep it tight.) --- ## 📦 Tech & Integrations (optional) * Language/Runtime: \<e.g., Go 1.22, Node 20, Python 3.11> * Key dependencies: \<e.g., net/http, cobra, sqlx> * Builds/CI: \<e.g., GitHub Actions, Makefile targets> --- ## ✅ Status & Roadmap (optional) * Current status: \<alpha/beta/stable> * Near-term: <3 bullets of planned work or invite contributions> --- ## 🤝 Contributing PRs welcome! Please see `CONTRIBUTING.md` (if present) and open an issue for discussion. --- ## 📄 License <SPDX identifier or link to LICENSE> --- ## 🌴 Stay <Project Vibe>! \<Short, friendly sign-off encouraging issues/PRs. One tasteful emoji.> --- ## Badge Heuristics (the agent should apply automatically) - **Repo**: parse `git remote get-url origin` → `<host>/<owner>/<repo>` - **Go**: - Go version: `https://img.shields.io/github/go-mod/go-version/<owner>/<repo>` - Go Reference: `https://pkg.go.dev/badge/<module-path>.svg` → link to `https://pkg.go.dev/<module-path>` - Go Report Card: `https://goreportcard.com/badge/<module-path>` → link to report - **Coverage (if Codecov present)**: - `https://codecov.io/gh/<owner>/<repo>/branch/<default-branch>/graph/badge.svg` - **General CI (if GH Actions workflows exist)**: - `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/actions` (use named workflow badge if known) - **Other ecosystems** (only if confident): - Rust: `docs.rs` badge; crates.io version - Python: PyPI version; Read the Docs - Node: npm version; bundle size (optional) If any badge cannot be resolved confidently, **omit it**. --- ## Minimal Algorithm 1. Detect language & module/package name from project files. 2. Derive repo `<owner>/<repo>` from `git remote`. 3. Find optional logo path (`docs/img/*`, `assets/*`, `logo.*`). 4. Enumerate modules/paths (limit to top 2–6 user-facing). 5. Locate/compose a minimal “hello world” example for the main use case. 6. Assemble the README using the **Output Format**. 7. Validate links (badge URLs, docs references) exist; remove any broken ones. 8. Output final Markdown only (no extra commentary).
