# GitHub Release Assistant ## 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 1. Collect repo facts from `config.json`, `README.md`, `PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md`, `requirements*.txt`, and `docs/`. 2. Ask for missing details or have the user fill `release_assistant.json` (see `assets/release_config.example.json`). 3. Run the generator script to write README files. 4. Review the diff with the user and refine content if needed. 5. If requested, stage/commit/push changes with explicit confirmation. ## Quick Start - Create or edit `release_assistant.json` in 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.md` and `README.zh.md`. ## Git Workflow (Commit + Push) - Run `git status` and `git diff` to show changes. - Ask for confirmation before `git add`, `git commit`, and `git push`. - Propose a concise commit message (e.g., `docs: add bilingual README`), and wait for approval. ## Resources - Script: `scripts/generate_release_readme.py`. - Templates: `assets/readme_template_en.md`, `assets/readme_template_zh.md`. - Config example: `assets/release_config.example.json`. - Style cues: `references/redmax_style.md`. - Outline guide: `references/readme_outline.md`.
