readme-maintainer
Version: 0.1.0
Source: tokenman library, skills/readme-maintainer/ (temporary — see skills/README.md)
Scope
Operates on README.md only. Does not read or modify other files.
Shape
In-place edit. Prefer additive changes (new sections) over rewrites. If
the README already describes the repo accurately, stop without edits.
Size limit
Diff must be ≤ ~100 lines. If a bigger change is warranted, stop and
surface the observation in your final message instead of making the
edit.
Deterministic gate hints
- Only
README.md should appear in the diff.
- No new files.
- No deletions of entire top-level sections without an explicit reason.
Evaluator criteria (medium strictness)
- Changes stay scoped to
README.md.
- Additions are factually grounded in other repo contents (do not
invent features).
- Tone is consistent with the existing README.
Typical token budget
~15 000 tokens per run (generator + evaluator combined).
Instructions
When invoked:
- Read
README.md.
- Read the repo structure (top-level files and directories) to
compare what's documented against what's present.
- If the README omits something significant (e.g. missing
Usage,
Install, or Development section that the repo clearly supports),
propose an addition.
- If the README is already aligned with the repo, stop without edits
and say so in your final message.
- Stay within the size limit. If you think a bigger change is needed,
summarize the finding instead of making it.
