How does it know my project structure?

The skill analyzes the current folder contents and subdirectories at the level of the target file to create an accurate project tree.

Does it follow markdown best practices?

Yes, it integrates with specialized markdown syntax and style skills and runs a linting step to ensure professional formatting.

Can I use it for files other than README.md?

Yes, you can specify any target file path as an argument to generate general documentation beyond just the main README.

What happens if I don't provide arguments?

If arguments are empty, the skill defaults to creating or updating a README.md file in your current working directory.

Is it compatible with monorepos?

Absolutely, it is designed to handle subfolders and can generate specific READMEs for individual services or components within a large project.
