create-readme

Write README

Produces a README.md for a project using a fixed template with centered header, badges, feature list, roadmap, and setup instructions. Derives content from the codebase, existing configuration files, and any available context.

Prerequisites

• A project directory with source code, a license file, and a package manifest (e.g., go.mod, package.json, Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml)
• If $1 is provided, use it as the project directory; otherwise use the current working directory

Steps

1. Scan the project for metadata: repository name from git remote or directory name, license type, language/runtime version from the package manifest, storage or database dependencies, and platform targets.
2. Determine a one-sentence description of the project from existing docs, the package manifest description, or by reading the main entry point.
3. List features by scanning source directories, CLI commands, exported functions, and any existing documentation.
4. Identify roadmap items from open GitHub issues, TODO comments, or stated goals in docs.
5. Identify out-of-scope items by reading issue discussions, design docs, or the package manifest's stated purpose.
6. Determine install steps from the package manifest, Makefile, or build scripts.
7. Write the README following the output template exactly.
8. Write the file to README.md in the project root.
9. Add an HTML comment <!-- session_link: http://localhost:10000/?session=<id> --> as the first line of the file, using the current session ID from context. If no session ID is available, omit the comment.
