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

  • Collect repo facts from config.json, README.md, PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md, requirements*.txt, and docs/.
  • Ask for missing details or have the user fill release_assistant.json (see assets/release_config.example.json).
  • Run the generator script to write README files.
  • Review the diff with the user and refine content if needed.
  • 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.
