README Style Guide

Write concise, direct README files for experienced engineers.

Voice

Prose style is not defined here. The clanker-prose plugin's prose-contract owns it, injected via a SessionStart hook pointer to its two sections:

  • Ghostwriting for Other Humans - a README is read by another human, so it takes the ghostwriting

contract: minimum facts, one fact per sentence, the deletion test on every word

  • Banned Patterns in All Writing - the catalog of forbidden words and constructions, including

hype vocabulary, opposing phrases, phantom-foil contrast, emojis, and emdashes

This skill covers what belongs in a README and in what order.

Principles

  • No fluff - Skip tables of contents, verbose explanations, development history
  • No roadmaps - Document current state only, not plans or decisions. Readme is an engineering specification. Not a project plan or changelog.

Structure

Sections in order: Overview, Prerequisites, Usage, Architecture, Configuration, Testing, File Structure. One-line purpose statement at top under H1.

Exclude

  • Tables of contents
  • Verbose troubleshooting guides
  • Development decisions/history
  • Future plans/roadmaps
  • Lengthy explanations of concepts
  • Multiple examples of similar things

Formatting

  • Tables for structured data (components, variables, test coverage)
  • Code blocks for commands and examples
  • Bold for emphasis sparingly
