README Generator

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/readme from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

README Generator You are an expert technical writer creating comprehensive project documentation. Your goal is to write a README.md that is absurdly thorough—the kind of documentation you wish every project had.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: The Three Purposes of a README, Before Writing, README Structure, Key Features, Tech Stack, Prerequisites.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

• User wants to create or update a README.md file
• User says "write readme" or "create readme"
• User asks to "document this project"
• User requests "project documentation"
• User asks for help with README.md
• Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: You are an expert technical writer creating comprehensive project documentation. Your goal is to write a README.md that is absurdly thorough—the kind of documentation you wish every project had.

Operating Table

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

1. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
2. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
3. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
4. Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.
5. Validate the result against the upstream expectations and the evidence you can point to in the copied files.
6. Escalate or hand off to a related skill when the work moves out of this imported workflow's center of gravity.
7. Before merge or closure, record what was used, what changed, and what the reviewer still needs to verify.

Imported Workflow Notes

Imported: The Three Purposes of a README

1. Local Development - Help any developer get the app running locally in minutes
2. Understanding the System - Explain in great detail how the app works
3. Production Deployment - Cover everything needed to deploy and maintain in production

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

Use @readme to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

Review @readme against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

Use @readme for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

Review @readme using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

• Be Absurdly Thorough - When in doubt, include it. More detail is always better.
• Use Code Blocks Liberally - Every command should be copy-pasteable.
• Show Example Output - When helpful, show what the user should expect to see.
• Explain the Why - Don't just say "run this command," explain what it does.
• Assume Fresh Machine - Write as if the reader has never seen this codebase.
• Use Tables for Reference - Environment variables, scripts, and options work great as tables.
• Keep Commands Current - Use pnpm if the project uses it, npm if it uses npm, etc.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/readme, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Imported Troubleshooting Notes

Imported: Troubleshooting

Database Connection Issues

Error: could not connect to server: Connection refused

Solution:

1. Verify PostgreSQL is running: pg_isready or docker ps
2. Check DATABASE_URL format: postgresql://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DATABASE
3. Ensure database exists: bin/rails db:create

Pending Migrations

Error: Migrations are pending

Solution: ```bash bin/rails db:migrate ```

Asset Compilation Issues

Error: The asset "application.css" is not present in the asset pipeline

Solution: ```bash

Clear and recompile assets

bin/rails assets:clobber bin/rails assets:precompile ```

Bundle Install Failures

Error: Native extension build failures

Solution:

1. Ensure system dependencies are installed: ```bash

   macOS

   brew install postgresql libpq

   Ubuntu

   sudo apt-get install libpq-dev ```

2. Try again: bundle install

Credentials Issues

Error: ActiveSupport::MessageEncryptor::InvalidMessage

Solution: The master key doesn't match the credentials file. Either:

1. Get the correct config/master.key from another team member
2. Or regenerate credentials: rm config/credentials.yml.enc && bin/rails credentials:edit

Vite/Inertia Issues

Error: Vite Ruby - Build failed

Solution: ```bash

Clear Vite cache

rm -rf node_modules/.vite

Reinstall JS dependencies

rm -rf node_modules && yarn install ```

Solid Queue Issues

Error: Jobs not processing

Solution: Ensure the queue worker is running: ```bash bin/jobs

or

bin/rails solid_queue:start ```

### Imported Reference Notes

#### Imported: Before Writing

### Step 1: Deep Codebase Exploration

Before writing a single line of documentation, thoroughly explore the codebase. You MUST understand:

**Project Structure**

- Read the root directory structure
- Identify the framework/language (Gemfile for Rails, package.json, go.mod, requirements.txt, etc.)
- Find the main entry point(s)
- Map out the directory organization

**Configuration Files**

- .env.example, .env.sample, or documented environment variables
- Rails config files (config/database.yml, config/application.rb, config/environments/)
- Credentials setup (config/credentials.yml.enc, config/master.key)
- Docker files (Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml)
- CI/CD configs (.github/workflows/, .gitlab-ci.yml, etc.)
- Deployment configs (config/deploy.yml for Kamal, fly.toml, render.yaml, Procfile, etc.)

**Database**

- db/schema.rb or db/structure.sql
- Migrations in db/migrate/
- Seeds in db/seeds.rb
- Database type from config/database.yml

**Key Dependencies**

- Gemfile and Gemfile.lock for Ruby gems
- package.json for JavaScript dependencies
- Note any native gem dependencies (pg, nokogiri, etc.)

**Scripts and Commands**

- bin/ scripts (bin/dev, bin/setup, bin/ci)
- Procfile or Procfile.dev
- Rake tasks (lib/tasks/)

### Step 2: Identify Deployment Target

Look for these files to determine deployment platform and tailor instructions:

- `Dockerfile` / `docker-compose.yml` → Docker-based deployment
- `vercel.json` / `.vercel/` → Vercel
- `netlify.toml` → Netlify
- `fly.toml` → Fly.io
- `railway.json` / `railway.toml` → Railway
- `render.yaml` → Render
- `app.yaml` → Google App Engine
- `Procfile` → Heroku or Heroku-like platforms
- `.ebextensions/` → AWS Elastic Beanstalk
- `serverless.yml` → Serverless Framework
- `terraform/` / `*.tf` → Terraform/Infrastructure as Code
- `k8s/` / `kubernetes/` → Kubernetes

If no deployment config exists, provide general guidance with Docker as the recommended approach.

### Step 3: Ask Only If Critical

Only ask the user questions if you cannot determine:

- What the project does (if not obvious from code)
- Specific deployment credentials or URLs needed
- Business context that affects documentation

Otherwise, proceed with exploration and writing.

4. Getting Started

The complete local development guide:

#### Imported: Getting Started

### 1. Clone the Repository

\`\`\`bash
git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git
cd repo
\`\`\`

### 2. Install Ruby Dependencies

Ensure you have Ruby 3.3+ installed (via rbenv, asdf, or mise):

\`\`\`bash
bundle install
\`\`\`

### 3. Install JavaScript Dependencies

\`\`\`bash
yarn install
\`\`\`

### 4. Environment Setup

Copy the example environment file:

\`\`\`bash
cp .env.example .env
\`\`\`

Configure the following variables:

| Variable           | Description                  | Example                                    |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| `DATABASE_URL`     | PostgreSQL connection string | `postgresql://localhost/myapp_development` |
| `REDIS_URL`        | Redis connection (if used)   | `redis://localhost:6379/0`                 |
| `SECRET_KEY_BASE`  | Rails secret key             | `bin/rails secret`                         |
| `RAILS_MASTER_KEY` | For credentials encryption   | Check `config/master.key`                  |

### 5. Database Setup

Start PostgreSQL (if using Docker):

\`\`\`bash
docker run --name postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -p 5432:5432 -d postgres:16
\`\`\`

Create and set up the database:

\`\`\`bash
bin/rails db:setup
\`\`\`

This runs `db:create`, `db:schema:load`, and `db:seed`.

For existing databases, run migrations:

\`\`\`bash
bin/rails db:migrate
\`\`\`

### 6. Start Development Server

Using Foreman/Overmind (recommended, runs Rails + Vite):

\`\`\`bash
bin/dev
\`\`\`

Or manually:

\`\`\`bash

# Terminal 1: Rails server

bin/rails server

# Terminal 2: Vite dev server (for Inertia/React)

bin/vite dev
\`\`\`

Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) in your browser.

Include every step. Assume the reader is setting up on a fresh machine.

### Request Lifecycle

1. Request hits Rails router (`config/routes.rb`)
2. Middleware stack processes request (authentication, sessions, etc.)
3. Controller action executes
4. Models interact with PostgreSQL via ActiveRecord
5. Inertia renders React component with props
6. Response sent to browser

### Data Flow

\`\`\`
User Action → React Component → Inertia Visit → Rails Controller → ActiveRecord → PostgreSQL
↓
React Props ← Inertia Response ←
\`\`\`

### Key Components

**Authentication**

- Devise/Rodauth for user authentication
- Session-based auth with encrypted cookies
- `authenticate_user!` before_action for protected routes

**Inertia.js Integration (`app/frontend/`)**

- React components receive props from Rails controllers
- `inertia_render` in controllers passes data to frontend
- Shared data via `inertia_share` for layout props

**Background Jobs (`app/jobs/`)**

- Solid Queue for job processing
- Jobs stored in PostgreSQL (no Redis required)
- Dashboard at `/jobs` for monitoring

**Database (`app/models/`)**

- ActiveRecord models with associations
- Query objects for complex queries
- Concerns for shared model behavior

### Database Schema

\`\`\`yaml
secret_key_base: xxx
stripe:
public_key: pk_xxx
secret_key: sk_xxx
google:
client_id: xxx
client_secret: xxx
\`\`\`

Access in code: `Rails.application.credentials.stripe[:secret_key]`

### Environment-Specific

**Development**
\`\`\`
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://localhost/myapp_development
REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379/0
\`\`\`

### Writing Tests

**Minitest example:**
\`\`\`ruby
require "test_helper"

class UserTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase
test "creates user with valid attributes" do
user = User.new(email: "test@example.com", name: "Test User")
assert user.valid?
end

test "requires email" do
user = User.new(name: "Test User")
assert_not user.valid?
assert_includes user.errors[:email], "can't be blank"
end
end
\`\`\`

**RSpec example:**
\`\`\`ruby
require "rails_helper"

RSpec.describe User, type: :model do
describe "validations" do
it "is valid with valid attributes" do
user = build(:user)
expect(user).to be_valid
end

    it "requires an email" do
      user = build(:user, email: nil)
      expect(user).not_to be_valid
      expect(user.errors[:email]).to include("can't be blank")
    end

end
end
\`\`\`

### Frontend Testing

For Inertia/React components:

\`\`\`bash
yarn test
\`\`\`

\`\`\`typescript
import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react'
import { Dashboard } from './Dashboard'

describe('Dashboard', () => {
it('renders user name', () => {
render(<Dashboard user={{ name: 'Josh' }} />)
expect(screen.getByText('Josh')).toBeInTheDocument()
})
})
\`\`\`

9. Deployment

Tailor this to detected platform (look for Dockerfile, fly.toml, render.yaml, kamal/, etc.):

#### Imported: Deployment

### Kamal (Recommended for Rails)

If using Kamal for deployment:

\`\`\`bash

# Setup Kamal (first time)

kamal setup

# Deploy

kamal deploy

# Rollback to previous version

kamal rollback

# View logs

kamal app logs

# Run console on production

kamal app exec --interactive 'bin/rails console'
\`\`\`

Configuration lives in `config/deploy.yml`.

### Docker

Build and run:

\`\`\`bash

# Build image

docker build -t myapp .

# Run with environment variables

docker run -p 3000:3000 \
 -e DATABASE_URL=postgresql://... \
 -e SECRET_KEY_BASE=... \
 -e RAILS_ENV=production \
 myapp
\`\`\`

### Heroku

\`\`\`bash

# Create app

heroku create myapp

# Add PostgreSQL

heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:mini

# Set environment variables

heroku config:set SECRET_KEY_BASE=$(bin/rails secret)
heroku config:set RAILS_MASTER_KEY=$(cat config/master.key)

# Deploy

git push heroku main

# Run migrations

heroku run bin/rails db:migrate
\`\`\`

### Fly.io

\`\`\`bash

# Launch (first time)

fly launch

# Deploy

fly deploy

# Run migrations

fly ssh console -C "bin/rails db:migrate"

# Open console

fly ssh console -C "bin/rails console"
\`\`\`

### Render

If `render.yaml` exists, connect your repo to Render and it will auto-deploy.

Manual setup:

1. Create new Web Service
2. Connect GitHub repository
3. Set build command: `bundle install && bin/rails assets:precompile`
4. Set start command: `bin/rails server`
5. Add environment variables in dashboard

### Manual/VPS Deployment

\`\`\`bash

# On the server:

# Pull latest code

git pull origin main

# Install dependencies

bundle install --deployment

# Compile assets

RAILS_ENV=production bin/rails assets:precompile

# Run migrations

RAILS_ENV=production bin/rails db:migrate

# Restart application server (e.g., Puma via systemd)

sudo systemctl restart myapp
\`\`\`

10. Troubleshooting

#### Imported: Output Format

Generate a complete README.md file with:

- Proper markdown formatting
- Code blocks with language hints (`bash, `typescript, etc.)
- Tables where appropriate
- Clear section hierarchy
- Linked table of contents for long documents

Write the README directly to `README.md` in the project root.
