readme-blueprint-generator
Intelligent README.md generation prompt that analyzes project documentation structure and creates comprehensive repository documentation. Scans .github/copilot directory files and copilot-instructions.md to extract project information, technology stack, architecture, development workflow, coding standards, and testing approaches while generating well-structured markdown documentation with proper formatting, cross-references, and developer-focused content.

- Gen Agent Trust Hubfail
This skill is safe. It functions as a README.md generator that extracts information from local repository documentation. Although it presents an indirect prompt injection surface by processing external file content without strict sanitization, the risk is negligible because the skill is restricted to text generation and lacks dangerous capabilities like code execution or network access. The automated scanner alert is a false positive that misidentified a local file path as a malicious URL.
