## What it is
A skill/guide for designing clear, theme-specific GitHub README homepages using SVG titles, real proof, and maintainable Markdown. It provides six project-native README design directions with examples from real public repositories.

## Use cases
- design a beautiful github readme homepage
- create svg hero images for my repo readme
- make my open source project readme stand out
- learn readme design patterns for developer tools
- structure a github project landing page in markdown
- generate a themed readme with an ai coding agent

## When to choose
- you want a visually distinctive, project-native GitHub README rather than a generic template
- you use AI coding agents (Codex) and want a skill that guides README creation
- you maintain a public repository and want visitors to understand it at first glance

## When to avoid
- you need a plain, minimal README with no visual design
- you want an automated tool that renders or builds READMEs rather than a design methodology
- you are not publishing on GitHub

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation, markdown, developer-tools
- domain: documentation, developer-tools, web-design
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: github-readme, readme-design, svg-graphics, agent-skill, codex-skill, markdown-design
