Should I use Markdown or reStructuredText for my Python project?

This skill provides a strategy for choosing: Markdown is generally better for simplicity and GitHub compatibility, while RST is preferred for projects heavily integrated with Sphinx.

Does this work with the modern pyproject.toml format?

Yes, it provides specific configurations for declaring README files and content types within the [project] table of pyproject.toml.

How do I check if my README will render correctly before uploading?

The skill guides you through using 'twine check' after building your distribution packages to validate markup before publication.

Why does my README look broken on PyPI but fine on GitHub?

PyPI uses a specific renderer that often restricts certain Sphinx extensions or custom HTML tags allowed by GitHub; this skill helps you identify and fix these incompatibilities.
