Generates absurdly thorough, professional README documentation by performing a deep analysis of your project's codebase and architecture.

The README Generator is an expert technical writing skill designed to eliminate documentation debt by creating high-quality, professional README.md files. Unlike basic templates, this skill performs a deep exploration of your project's directory structure, configuration files, database schemas, and dependencies to map out a complete architectural overview. It is specifically designed to address three core areas: facilitating rapid local development, explaining complex system logic through data flow diagrams, and providing precise production deployment instructions based on detected infrastructure patterns.
