$npx -y skills add Archive228/loopkit --skill readme-auditCheck whether a README actually lets a stranger run the project. Use on any repo's README before publishing.
| 1 | # README Audit |
| 2 | A README's only job: a stranger clones it and gets to "it works" without asking you. |
| 3 | Check, in order: |
| 4 | 1. **One sentence** on what it is and who it's for — above the fold. |
| 5 | 2. **Install** — copy-paste commands that actually work on a clean machine. Test them mentally step by step. |
| 6 | 3. **Run / quickstart** — the smallest end-to-end example. |
| 7 | 4. **Config** — required env vars, where secrets go. |
| 8 | 5. **No rot** — does it reference files/commands/flags that still exist? Stale README is worse than none. |
| 9 | Cut: long philosophy, badges nobody reads, TODO sections. Output: the specific gaps + the fix. |
