README Generator

README Generator analyzes your project's codebase and automatically creates a comprehensive README.md that accurately reflects your project's purpose, setup process, and usage patterns. It goes beyond templates by reading actual code to generate accurate installation steps and usage examples.

How It Works

1. Project scanning — Reads package.json, requirements.txt, Cargo.toml, or other manifest files to detect language, framework, and dependencies
2. Entry point analysis — Identifies main entry points, CLI commands, and exported APIs to determine how the project is used
3. Structure mapping — Creates a project directory overview highlighting important files and modules
4. Content generation — Writes sections including description, installation, quick start, API reference, configuration, and license
5. Badge integration — Adds relevant shields.io badges for build status, version, license, and test coverage
