Github Profile Readme

Create or upgrade a GitHub *profile* README — the special README.md in the repo named exactly after a username (github.com/<user>/<user>) that renders at the top of the profile page. Use this whenever someone wants to make, design, redesign, refresh, or "level up" their GitHub profile, set up their github.com/<user>/<user> repo, add stats cards / badges / a tech stack / an auto-updating blog feed to their profile, or asks "how do I get that box on my GitHub page." Trigger even when they don't say the word "README" — "make my GitHub look good", "personalize my GitHub", or "set up my dev profile

# GitHub Profile README

## What this is

A GitHub **profile** README is the `README.md` inside a repo whose name is
*identical* to the account username (e.g. `github.com/octocat/octocat`). GitHub
renders it at the top of the profile page. It is the first thing recruiters,
collaborators, and curious visitors see, so it is worth getting right.

This skill turns "I want a good GitHub profile" into a finished, coherent,
accessible README in one of nine proven styles — built from the person's real
work, not generic filler. It was refreshed from a 2026 survey of 520 verified
public profile READMEs (181 curated examples plus 339 profiles found through
GitHub user search), so the defaults reflect what actually works in the wild, not
just gallery fashion.

The single most important idea: **a coherent style with real substance beats a
pile of widgets every time.** Most bad profiles fail not from too little
decoration but from too much of it wrapped around nothing specific. Lead with who
the person is and what they build; decoration is the garnish, never the meal.

## The non-negotiable mechanic

Before anything else, make sure the user understands and the setup matches this:

- The repo **must** be named exactly the username, case included
  (`<username>/<username>`).
- The file is `README.md` on the **default branch**.
- The repo must be **public**.
- The `README.md` must live in the repo root and contain content.
- Managed user accounts cannot use profile READMEs.

Explain for Dumb

MotleyWildside/explain-for-dumb

Explains code changes (branch diff vs master, or uncommitted changes) in plain human language, no scary jargon — so the user understands what an agent (or they) actually changed. Two modes - a "for dummies" story (what was, what happened, how it was done) or a per-file walkthrough. Use when the user says "explain-for-dumb", "explain my changes", "what did the agent do", "walk me through the diff", or wants a plain-language recap of a PR/diff.
