What it gives you

A README structured the way readers actually scan it — title, badges, one-line description, the install command they came for, a minimal usage block, and the long-form sections collapsed into a TOC.

Customize after

The output is plain Markdown — tweak it freely. Badges link to shields.io with the values you typed.
