description

Use when the user wants to refresh the README of this plugin (or any Claude Code skills plugin) so that its "Skills" section reflects the current set of skills under `skills/*/SKILL.md`. Reads each skill's frontmatter (`name`, `description`, optional `category`), groups by category, sorts alphabetically within each group, and rewrites the README's Skills section between the `<!-- SKILLS:START -->` and `<!-- SKILLS:END -->` markers. Preserves everything else in the README (header, installation, license). A helper script at `scripts/generate-skills-section.py` does the extraction and emits the block on stdout; the skill is responsible for splicing it into the README. Trigger phrases - "update the plugin README", "regenerate the skills table", "refresh skills list on the plugin README", "the plugin README is out of date", "add the new skill to the README".

Update Plugin README

Regenerates the "Skills" section of a Claude Code skills plugin README from the actual contents of its skills/ directory.

When to run

• A new skill has been added to the plugin's skills/ folder.
• A skill's frontmatter description has been edited.
• A skill has been removed.
• The README drifts from reality (e.g. lists planned skills that already ship).

Procedure

1. Run python3 scripts/generate-skills-section.py <plugin-repo-path> (default: the current plugin repo).
2. The script emits a block starting with <!-- SKILLS:START --> and ending with <!-- SKILLS:END -->. Capture its stdout.
3. Open README.md. Replace everything between those two markers with the new block. If the markers don't exist, locate the existing ## Skills heading and replace that section (up to the next ## heading) with the new block wrapped in markers; if there's no ## Skills heading, insert the block after the README's opening paragraph.
