Open source · GitHub Action · Agent skill
Create and refresh evidence-based READMEs, for a project or your GitHub profile, from real repository activity, while every hand-written section stays exactly as you left it.
Review the evidence and the proposed README interactively in Claude Code or Codex, with no model API key required, or run it unattended on a schedule with the GitHub Action.
Reads owned projects, organization work, open-source contributions (forks included, credited to their upstream), and private activity, then writes only what the repositories support.
Private repository names, links, and descriptions stay hidden; private work appears only as one anonymized total unless you explicitly opt in.
Updates only a marked, managed section; your intro and footer are never touched. Write with AI (OpenAI or Anthropic) or with deterministic, zero-cost rules.

Everything below is generated by README Auto Update from a real GitHub account (@wuisabel-gif), shown across every display style. Flip the controls and the profile regenerates live. Private repo names never appear.
