README Builder

Create clean, consistent README.md files in minutes.

README Builder is a minimalist Python tool that generates a polished README using your project metadata and a few prompts. It helps you document projects faster, with a structure that looks professional on GitHub and makes your repo easy to understand.

What it does

• Builds a complete README.md with standard sections:

  • Overview, Features, Installation, Usage, Configuration, Roadmap, License, Contributing, Support

• Generates copy-paste ready usage examples and CLI blocks

• Supports templates (standard, library, CLI tool, API, package)

• Auto-inserts project info like:

  • Name, description, Python version, dependencies, commands, repo links

• Optional add-ons:

  • Badges section, screenshots section placeholders, changelog snippet

Best for

• Developers shipping scripts and small tools

• Teams that need consistent documentation across multiple repos

• Anyone tired of rewriting the same README sections repeatedly

Typical workflow

1. Run README Builder inside your project folder

2. Answer a few prompts or pass flags

3. Get a ready README.md you can edit lightly and commit

Output

• README.md generated in your selected template style

• Optional README.sections.json (saved inputs for repeat runs)

Requirements

• Python 3.9+

• Works offline (no API required)
