Overview
Generate polished README files in English and Chinese using repo facts plus a small config file, following a concise “Redmax-style” layout. Produce README.md + README.zh.md, then optionally guide a clean git commit and push.
Workflow
- Collect repo facts from
config.json,README.md,PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md,requirements*.txt, anddocs/. - Ask for missing details or have the user fill
release_assistant.json(seeassets/release_config.example.json). - Run the generator script to write README files.
- Review the diff with the user and refine content if needed.
- If requested, stage/commit/push changes with explicit confirmation.
Quick Start
- Create or edit
release_assistant.jsonin the repo root (optional but recommended). - Run:
python3 /Users/cuizhanlin/.codex/skills/github-release-assistant/scripts/generate_release_readme.py --project-root <repo> --language both --overwrite - Verify
README.mdandREADME.zh.md.
Git Workflow (Commit + Push)
- Run
git statusandgit diffto show changes. - Ask for confirmation before
git add,git commit, andgit push. - Propose a concise commit message (e.g.,
docs: add bilingual README), and wait for approval.
