Does it support emojis or decorative elements?

No, the style guide explicitly avoids emojis and emdashes to maintain a clean, professional, and strictly technical aesthetic.

Can I use this for user-facing tutorials?

No, this skill is specifically optimized for technical READMEs. For educational or beginner-friendly tutorials, a different documentation style would be more appropriate.

How does it handle Markdown syntax?

While it provides structural templates, it is designed to be used in conjunction with md-writer, which handles specific Markdown syntax rules and formatting conventions.

What is the primary purpose of the md-style skill?

It guides Claude to write README files that are concise, direct, and free of marketing fluff, focusing purely on technical specifications for an engineering audience.

Why does this skill exclude project roadmaps?

The philosophy of this style guide is that a README should act as a specification of the current codebase, not a project management tool or changelog.
