# Create README

Give your project a front page instead of an empty file

## What this does

Your project has code but nothing that explains it to whoever opens the folder next. This writes the README file for you, the page people read first. Reach for it when you are setting up a new project, or when the one you have is still a placeholder.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Draft a README for a project that has none
- Write up what the project is and how to use it
- Replace a stub readme with real content

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Create README

Every project needs a page that says what it is. This one creates the README.md file for your project, so the first thing a reader opens is not empty.

Use it when you are starting out and the file does not exist yet, or when the one sitting there has never been filled in.

## Questions

### Is Create README safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Create README and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit 90921cc46f4e, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/create-readme.

### How do I install Create README?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/create-readme on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/github/awesome-copilot/tree/90921cc46f4e452ea379e70884d60ec25263f16a/skills/create-readme.
